When Thomas drove up to house op Elizabeth street to deliver the usual quart of mixture, the gentleman of the house kindly inquired:
 "Thomas, how many quarts of milk do you deliver9"
 Ninety-one, sir
 And how many cows have you?"
 Mine, sir"
 The gentleman made some remarks about an early Spring, close of the Eastern war and ths state of the roads, and then asked:
 Bay, Thomas, hsw much milk per day do your COWS average?"
 "Seven quarts, sir"
 "Ah, um, ," said the gentleman, as he moved off.
 Thomas looked after him, scratched his head, and all at once grew pale as he pulled out short pencil and began to figure on the wagon-eover.
 Mine COWS is nine, and set seven quarts down under the COWS and multi ply. That's sixty-three quarts of milk. I told him I sold ninety-one quarts per day. Sixty-three from ninety-one leaves twenty-eight, and none to carry. Now where do get the rest of the milk?
