MR JONES AND MS COW.

One rainy evening Mr.. Jones, as usual,
went out with pail and stool to milk the
cows. The animals were not in the
cleanest condition, aud when the wet and
muddy tail of one was lashed across his
face once or twice, Mr.. Jones got vexed
and vowed be would fix that COW so that
she wouldn't bother him any more that
night. So he carefully tied her tail to
his boot strap. ...s
Every thing went on smoothly for
time, and Mr.. Jones congratulated him
self on the experiment. lie was feeling
well, and perhaps would have sung
hymn If he had known one, when the COW
took notion to lash fly that was biting
her. Mr.. Jones chucklcd some when hG
felt the pull at his boot strap, but his
chuckllng was soon cut short, for bessie,
fin ling she could not touch her tormen.

not prepared for such demonstration be
was upset With the contents Of the pail
distributed over his person.
The COW stopped for a moment, but IN
that time our hero bad gained his fect n
moment after he was seen with his hand
on the hip Of the COW, making the tour Of
the barn yard With prodigious hops upon
one foot, the other, being suspended by
the boot strap which was still attached 20
the cows tail. At every hop he would
calculate, 50 boss, 50 boss, but "boss"

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.



Anti-Humbug, in last Fridays JOURNAL
shows his asperity ami lack of good sense by
attacking Tax-Payer's grammar instead OF
disproving his statement As Taxpayer does
not hold two public positions in the city's en-
ploy nor does he receive two salaries from
the city neither aspires to be a teacher in,
or superintendent of, public schools, it car be
of no consequence, whatever, 10 Anti-Humbug
"or any other man that he is not gram
marian or a scholar, TO which, indeed, he
makes no pretentions.
1t is of great consequence, however, and of
great interest, also, to Taxpayer and all other
citizens who pay taxes to the city; that per.
son who does hold two public positions and
receives two salaries from the city, should be
entirely competent to discharge the duties OF
such public positions But, as -Humbug
plainly and emphatically states that the Su-
perintendent of Public Schools sis neither an
elegant writer nor an accomplished scholar
he admits, thereby, that he is not competent
| for his duties, and consequently endorses Tax
/ Payers facts. Wherefore there need be no
