AN AID TO .UILkING.

A college student in ne Of our west

course was finished to find that his
father, a clergyman with small salary
was eking out his living by running a
small farm. One Of the adjuncts Of
the farm was COW, pretty good
animal, which however, had Il strong
aversion to being MIXED.
Her was an opportunity for display
of the lately acquired knowledge OF
the juvenile colIegian.

Impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor G :.

stead, however, of placing weight
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it. Bat then he
answered the purpose. The COW, how
ever, was still obstinate.

the father to his son.
The son did so. But the COW, I'M
rsed to such unusual and arbitrary
proceedings, manifested her dis
pleasures by rearing and plunging,
entirely unmindful of the dignity of
the parsonage astride her spinal
column. 1t was getting altogether
too interesting for the two bipeds con-
cerned in the transaction.
