used to go a-milking when the shades OF night
falling
And the sunsets benediction sanctfed the even
ing air:
When the crckes from the thickets In their piping
strains were calling,
And the twilight peace was brooding. softly brood
ing everywhere
But the twilight peace | felt not nights odorous

And the black night gloomed about me with mel

The old COW wouldn't give down.
O. BrIndle most lactiferous Of all the herd herblv
Nearly always non-wthholding grandly generous
vert thou;
No cow grazes with such praises. for thy praises
vociferous,
For thou vert most beloved and our most be-
lauded COW.
But sometimes all unappauded. unbeloved, unpe-
lauded
Did our looks of admiration darken TO gloomy
frown?
Yes our looks were black and baleful when we
went to get pailful--
And the old cow wouldn't give down."
All,
The old cow woudn', give down."
Milking since has been my mission. and my COW
is young ambition.
And I've MIXED her night and morning. MIXED her
early. MIXED her late;
But my butter (sad to utter. my sweet butter OF
fruition
Does my most persistent churning often fail to con-
ccnrate
Though my milking seats adjusted. still my cow
cannot be trusted.
And the smile Of tickle fortune often darkens to
frown.
When pull with fearful traction, but get no sat
sfaction-
For my old COW won't give down.

You can say who read this lyric, If you wish to be

would not give down
Though he MIXED with much compulsion and he
strained with great CONFUSION.

And she showed the bard no pity when he tried TO

WHO WILL DISCOVER AMERICA?


In those grand and good old days. when we old
folks were young everybody believed that Christie

books all said So and II any man had questioned
the veraclty OF "A school book we would nave ex-
pected to behold d thunderbolt from the bosom Of
heaven dart through the cloven sky and strike

But now any gump knows that Columbus didnt
discover America at all. He meant we'll but he was
too slow.

But we really have not discovered the discoverer
