remarked at the stuffed COW that gave milk.
Among those who approached Il was a
Walla Walla editor, who gives himself
away as follows: "At the Portland fair
they had a stuffed COW which they milked
~ whenever person called for glass of
milk, fresh from the fountain head. The
whole hing looked so natural that many
who drank themilk believe 10 this day That
the COW was a genuine Durham. The
Journal editor himself pressed forward to
invest a nickel,and after drinking the milk,
right from the COW, as he supposed, he
looked at the maid. with rosy cheeks, and
in sort Of quizical way asked, awh al
makes this milk so cold 7" "Oh,n said the
little yixon,w with a roguish leer In her left
eve, "don't you see, the COW stands on Ice. !"
We saw the joke and pulled out TO make
room for another greeny, for they were
quite abundant, and most of Them came
from the bunchgrass country"
