Of college boys to lead horses or cows
up to the second story of buildings in
order that the college authorities might
have the satisfaction of taking the an
lmals down again by means of derriclls.
1t is very seldom that one of the poor
creatures ventures to make the ascent
itself. but such instances occasionally
happen. One is reported from Mirv
Brook, Conn, where a farmer missed
one of his cows, and as his family had
gone to call on a neighbor, he locked IN
he house and went out to hunt for the
missing animal. He tramped into dusk
and searched every place he thought it

strayed to. but without success. When
he reached home his attention was at
tracted by a peculiar noise in the house
and hurried inside, and there was the
COW in a,room on the second floor. The
animal had climbed the stairs after
wandering in the open door. 1t took
the farmer three hours to get the cow
downstairs again.-Troy Times. of
