HOW THE COW KILLED HERSELF.

had little calf with big brown eyes to
take up her spare time. That cow with
such happy environments as this would
deliberately take her own life seems
almost beyond reason. But this is what
many people in the village think she
did. One Thursday morning Bessie
was found with her head lodged be-
tween the forks of wild cherry tree.
She was dead. The forks of the tree are
nearly nine feet from the ground, and
to have reached them Bessie had 10
Jump several feet from the ground.
The theory that she was trying to eat
the leaves was first advanced, but was
afterward abandoned when it was
learned that Illuminating beasts have
never been known to eat the leaves of a
wild cherry tree. The fence might
have aided Bessie in reaching the fork
of the tree, but it is not near enough,
unless, as some have suggested, she
jumped on curve or did the giant
swing.
The curious sight was witnessed by
hundreds of people who could not fully
satisfy their minds as to the real man
ner of death. After fruitless efforts to
dislodge her by the aid of team of
horses, it was found necessary to cut
off her head. The accompanying por-
trait was sketched by Miss Susie Mar
shall, n daughter of Village Trustee Jo-
seph II. Marshall, who was one of the
first spectators on the scene.

A TERRIFIC CHARGE.
Gallsntry of Col. Post at the Battle of
Nashville.


Nashville.
The career of Philip Sidney Post,
colonel of the Fifty-ninth Illinois vol
unteers, was distinguished by many
acts of conspicuous gallantry. He was
in the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark. and
in the engagement was severely wound-
ed by a musket ball He was sent to the
City hospital at st. Louis, and, with
careful nursing recovered. He rejoined
his regiment in time to participate in
the battle of Nashville. Maj. Gen
Wood, Who had been considering ths
adyisability of determined assault
on the copfederates who held Mont
gomery Hills, decided, shortly after
noon, that the opportunity was favor
able. Montgomery hill is an irregular
and cone-shaped eminence, $50 feet in
height. The ascent is quite abrupt,
and the sides are covered with forest
trees. The enemy had inclosed the hill
just below its crest with a strong line
of intrenchment, and embarrassed the
approach of an assaulting force with an
abattir and row of sharpened stakes.
This hill was the confederate army's
most advanced position. The Second
brigade of the Third division command
ed by Col. Post, was detailed to make
the attack. Col. Post put himself in
the front of his line, and gave the word
to advance. Gen. Wood, field-glass in
hand, watched the charge, his mind
filled with anxiety for the result. This
is how he describes it: "As sweeps the

DUSTS THE FURNITURE.
How Don, Clever New Jersey Dog Earns
His Board.

Harry Stanwix, living in Camden, n.
j., owns Newfoundland dog named
Don. Don was always allowed to re-
main in the house except when his
mistress was cleaning the rooms, and
then he was unceremoniously driven in
TO the yard. The dog greatly prefers the
house to the yard, and evidently planned
a way to be allowed to remain with his
mistress. He noticed that she always
busted the furniture after sweeping a
room, and the idea came to him that his
large bushy tail would make a first
class dust-brush. One day when the
busting commenced his mistress saw
him come in, and, backing up to a
chair, he commenced busting it. AT
first she thought he was only wagging

Talking. war and voting for

are two very different things.
The leading republicans furn

ton in tue halls of Congress.
hut now that the election is
over and a republican president
is on the eve of being inaugur-
ated, some of these republicans
have changed their tune. This
has been especially noticeable
since the Senate COMMITTEES OF
Foreign Relations took the
bull by the horns and reported
a short resolution declaring the
independence of Cuba, and
that the U. S. would use its
good Offices TO bring about
peace between the Spaniars and
Cuba, Notwithstanding a pro
test from Secretary Olney, who
before the Committee
and argued for a continuance
Of the policy of non action.

any party announcement on
this resolution and probably
will not until the public dis

it would be wise for them 10
