He Twisted Her Tail.

1t was a COW, with mild brown syes,
auburn bangs, and tail with loose
lock on the end, that switched the air
and knocked imaginary flies into the
hereafter with snap. She was being
led down West Street, toward the Cort-
land Street Ferry, by ferocious-look-
ing Jerseyman, whose complexion,
owing to the cold weather and hot
whisky, was red as meteoric sunset.
Suddenly, with what was apparently
unnecessary cruelty, the Jerseyman
struck the COW across the flank with
club, swung his arms over his head,
danced maddening double shuttle in
the street, and sat down with strange
rapidity upon acar-rail. The COW looked
over her shoulder approvingly,
and stood in her tracks. The Jersey
man arose from the impression he had
made upon the ice, smoothed his coat
tails caressingly, and started toward
the COW. He raped her once, spat on
his hands, raped her twice, put his
shoulder against her side-all to move
her out of the track of the dray-but to
no avail. A crowd assembled. The
Jerseyman got lots Of sympathy but no
assistance. One man suggested that
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
new Board Of Aldermen; third that
she was one of H. o. rs unbalanced
bids and was afraid of Jersey justice.
The owner went few yards ahead,
grinned CHASTITY grin, and shaking his
club behind him in suppressed fury
pleaded in persuasive tones "Come,
Mooly-come, Mooly-- Mooly." But
Moody saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped q
lank and unshaven specimen of long
shoreman. He was gifted with wis
dom beyond his kind. He drew the
owner Of the COW aside and whispered
in his ear: Twist her tail" The
Jerseyman shook his head. Then, as
though bidding for the support Of the
multitude, the 'longshoreman raised
his arm and, making sweeping gest-
ure, exclaimed:
Scents. says twist her tail. )"
"Twist it yerself." was the answer
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman barred his
brawny arm and stepped up to thecow.
He took the love lock in his hand; ran
his fingers through it and clinched
them, grasped the middle of the tail
with his left hand and tried to tie a
knot. An agonizing silence, which
was broken by groan and dotted with
q broad-brimmed hat, pair of suspen-
ders and the arms and legs of long
shoreman doing calisthenics in the
frosty air. The battered remains Of
the 'longshoreman were carried away
muttering blasphemy. The COW, after
she had replaced her hind hoofs on the
ground, was led on to the ferry by the
Jerseyman, who observed rs he paid
bis fare:
