THE BIGGEST cow.
California Animal Weighs Over Il Ton
and Her Calf Promises to be as Large.

California Animal Weighs Over Ton
and Her Calf Promises to be as Large. -.
Farmer William Bruce of Tulare, Cal,
owns a COW which has the distinction of
being the largest by long odds of any
animal of her sex in that part of the
world. She could give pounds by the
score to a Clydesdale stallion and then
win the laurels from him as a heavy
weight. and she is. but 6 years old at
When placed upon the scales t. be
weighed few days ago she tipped the
beam at precisely $3.50 pounds. This
is not so bad for an animal that lays no
claim to aristocratic pedigree
remarkable as she is for weight, her
height is even more astonishing. The
measurements taken show that she
stands exactly 1G hands high, or, to come
down to ordinary tape measure, ) feet
and inches. - 80 -
OF her own claim to fame she is very
modest. but of her calf, which is now
g. months old. she is very proud, as, i'll
deed. she might we'll be. for it is nearly
as large rs an ordinary cow While it is
just half as high as her mother. it
weighs but one-ffth as much. How
ever, it promises well, and if some, of the
museum managers who are now. negotiat,
ing with Mr.. BruceScan make a satisfacs
tory bargain. both mother and. offspring
will grow old together under the curious
eyes of the public.

S.lf-SupDOrt and Secial Position

The discussion of it could go on endlessly,
but that which has suggested it today is
the forced departure made by so many
young women of the world into self-sup-
porting work. Wasn't it Give New
come who blushed when he told old Lady
Kew that he had become an artist? We
do not blush any more when we confess
to being painters and writer's, but it has
required even more courage than young
Newcomers to do what these girls have
aone-gone into the trimming and dis
posal of hats, the selling of flowers over
a counter, the renting and keeping of
hOuses-yOung women born to social posi-
ton it cost something to hazard. And
proves how liberal we have grown. Not
many years ago we blushed when con-
Tossing to be governesses. :.
1t is society which lends it's generous
aid to these workers, and if social po-
sition is lost by. one. it is not because
a snob has willed it, but because, inevita-
bly,, interests become divided when pur-
ton does not, then, lie in the. attitude of
the prosperous, but in the self-conscious-
ness Of the worker. She finds it hard
to drop her sense of work, and she, is
apt to become sensitive. imaginative,
touchy. She must learn to become the
woman first and the worker afterward,
and SO avoid the danger of eccentricity.
1t is the eccentrics whose social posi-.
ton is everywhere endangered. The
brave worker need fear nothing. But
it behooycs her to remember many things
that she must keep in touch with prog
ress; that she must not ruthlessly ignore
the requirements of those among whom
she has always associated; that she must
hold fast to those things which tradition
and the laws Of good taste and breed
ing have bequeathed to her. Then her
position. which she is right to- consider
is not shaken, although for the time she
may drop out of the social swim. " -:
