went out TO his barnyard the other morn

COWS had Just become the mother of three
bouncing calves. Instead of being elatci
over this sudden addition to his stock
yard, the farmer became more Sullen and
mOrOSe, and went around muttering some
thing about the incident fOrebOling no
good to his family, and before any OF them
were aware, he had slowed all three OF the
calves away in a brush pile and burned the
whole business up, and then took his gun
down and shot the COW. The old man
makes no explanation OF his mysterious
conduct and is very retiCent over the affair.
The family are trying 10 keep the matter
quiet.
