II can remember" said Henry Ward
Beecher, when received an old cow
In payment of bad debt.
1t was a very bad debt
and l came to consider it a very bad
payment. She was thin COW. but
the former owner said she was better
than she looked, being a cross between
Jersey and the Durham. She looked
as If she might have been a cross be-
tween an old hair trunk and an aban-
doned hOopskirt, 1 kept the brute
thfee days, and no one except perhaps
Lieutenant Antwell, could ever appre-
clate the suffering I endured in that
time. The firstnight she broke through
the fence, and reduced to a pulp all the
underclothing belonging to my next
door neighbor. She put her horns
through my bath tub, and ate UP all my
geraniums. She was to give three gal
Ions Of milk day, but she seemed
short just then, and never had it to
spare while we kept her. The second
day she walked into the kitchen, upset
pan of bitter and tttb of lard. Then
she fell down Well, and when l got
her out at cost of S5, she took Il Z
collie; whooping cough, or something,
and kept us awake all night. Not a
green thing was left in my garden; my
neighbor's peach trees and the rope on
which his Underwear grew were as bare
Of fruit as single tree and he did not
have twig of shrubbery left. My
heighbor came over to me afid saidi
snow, don't desire any quarrel, bit
1 want you TO keep your cow out of my
shrubbety."
"And l want you, my FRIEND" said I;
''to keep your shrubbery out of my
cow"

be an unpleasant duty, John a. Martin
must be defeated in his own county.
In the face OF the fact that seven-tenths
