Partly Converted by a Cow.

The Cuba Patriot relates the following
amusing incident concerning hard old
customer in the town of Hinsdale, who
was never known to attend church much
less to countenance any kind of family
worship in his own home: The old
fellow had a 'muley cow" which was
always "nosing' around the house,
picking up whatever edibles came In her
way. The other night barrel con-
tanning slops had been left out near the
corner of the wood shed, and the COW
In her peregrinations soon struck the
rich bonanza. Thrusting her head into
the barrel, ''muley" began voraeiously
to make way with the contents. AS the
slops diminished in the barrel, in the
same proportion the old COW thrust her
head in deeper. But when she attempt
ed TO withdraw her head from the barrel
the animal found it had become firmly
bovine turned round and round for
awhile, then blindly started off on a
run. AS luck would have it, she struck
bee line for the house, and directly for
the front door. The old man was sitting
inside telling his family all about the
great Hendryx murder trial, when the
COW gave frightful below, which was
prolonged by the empty barrel into an
unearthly yroar. At the same time the
front door crashed from its hinges, and
the COW, with her uncommon head gear,
bolted into the room. sold wickedness'

demon which confronted him; each

To add to the dramatic effect, at the
moment in which the 'Squire's last
words were spoken, a fair, delicate look

She turned then, and glided swiftly

Election Of the latter. "What sort OF
wife would such a woman make?'' was
his next involuntary thought, until It
suddenly occurred to him, with some
thing like shock, that this was really
after all, the woman he had chosen for
his sons wife, for his daughter-in-law,
for the mistress of his house and house

very kindly this time.
You must see my Beelzebub," re-

"such a charming creature! full of
spirit, yet SO tractable and affectlonate,
that l assure you, sir" addressing the
Squire, "he'll walk into the breakfast
room and drink out of your coffee cup
at the table,
This assurance appeared to have no
particular charm for Squire Chester, for
he turned away with very little cere-

The old gentleman recollected himself
in time. But he had seen enough of the

"Why not, sir? 1 thought you

Philip was satisfied; the more SO

that little Lena would make as good O
