Cows ON A JAG.-Since fish
stories and snake stories are becom-
ing fiat and Improbable something
has to be done to take their place.
A dispatch says: When farmer
Jacob Cristman, of Pottstown. Pa,
went to a pasture field few days
ago he was astonished at the antics
of his large drove Of cows. They
were all staggering about like SO
many drunken men. They beloved,
threw their heads and tails in the
air and acted like circus horses
prancing To the tune of a brass
band. 1t was the worst lot of iig
steps the farmer had ever seen. The
cows were intoxicated, but how
they came to be so was a mystery
until A. K. Evans, veterinary
surgeon, was called. He found
that the cattle had broken into n
corn field and the green corn they
had eaten fermented in their stom-
achs, causing intoxication.

mouth. The birds mistress Thoughts
her pet was swallowed. but the dog

without having hurt it in the least.
But though Duster was hunt
ing dog he was ridiculously afraid
of everything in the world except
birds. lie acted like an idiot some
times.
One day in town. while he was
going along business street. he
caught sight suddealy of huge
stuffed beer outside fur store. He
gave one bound into the middle of
the street, held his tail between his
legs. showing how scared he was.
and barked loudly until passers by
laughed at him. At last he got up
courage enough to GO up to the bear
and snilr at it, and then when he
found there was no "scent' he pro-
badly concluded it was not an ami
NAL at all, and sneaked away as il
ashamed.
In fact. like some children. i'us-
ter never seemed to learn anything
by means of his eyes.
He used to make very foolish
appearance on that account. Some
times he would bark us hard as he
could at stump or a stone, aud
then would seem ashamed when he
found it wasn't alive.
His master would often play
little trick on him, because he was
50 stupid about using his eyes.
When they were out walking.
Duster would "scoot" into field
to dig out field maase. When he
began to run on again his master
would step to the side Of the road,
not behind tree, but in plain sight.
Poor foolish Dustcr would come
tearing along after his master. run
a few yards ahead, past him, then
stop and come back slowly with his
nose in the air to get the scent. At
last when he did find him he would
act as if he had made "a great dis
covery, although his master had
been in plain sight all the time.
Dogs arc seldom caught in a trap,
especially If they have once had
good look at it. But one night the
house was reused aud Duster trac-

by an outside door. locked before
Duster left the fircside. He must
have reached it by mbing a ladder
to the hay loft and Jumping down
through the small opening by which
hay was thrown into the manaer.
There he was bowling terrificaily,
with his nose fast in the rat trap
which he had watched his master
set that very day.
Surely Duster was destitute Of
several of his "fine instincts. "-Re-
