TIt AT EAEE-

To the yard, by The barn, came the farmer
one morn,
And, calling the cattle, he said.
While they trernlled with fright, t'Now
which of yoL las' night
Shui the barn door, while [ was al,ed -
Each one of the flock shook his head.
Now the little calf Spot, was down in the lot.
And the way the rest talked was shame:
For no one, night before, saw her shut np
the door,
But they said that she did all the same.
For they always made her take the blame.
Said the horse (dapple gray), II WAS not
up that way
Last night. as ] row recullect -
And the bull passing 10y, tossed his horns
very high,
And said, Let who may here object,
say tbs the calf l suspecti'
Then out spoke the COW: .'IIisterribla now,
TO accuse honest folks Of such tricks
SAID the cock in the tree, I'm sure 'twasn't
me -
And the sheen all cried, ''Ba-a - (there
were siX),
Now that calf's got herself i'm a fix -
"Why, of course we all know twas the
wrong tiing to do
Said the chickens. "of course" said the
cat;

think the a fool
But IN not quite so simple as that:
ILe poor cstil never knows what she is aft''
just that moment the calf, who vas always

And the jest of the yard. came in sight
Did you shut my barn door?'' asked the
farmer once more.

Said the calf; land L thought that was

Then each one shook his head. "She will

SAID the farmer, Come here, little bossy,
dear
Aou have done what I cannot repay,
And your future Is made from today.
For wonder, last night, L forgot the door

And II You had not shut il so neat
All my colts had slipped III, and gone right
TO the bin,
And got hat they ought not 70 cat

Then each hoof Of them all began loudly 20

The very mnle smiled the cock crew.

They cried: ''N all said IL was Won.
We were SO glad TO give you your due"
And the calf answered, knowingly, ''Boo!''
