10 the People OF Providence:
In assuming control of the Providence

the ventilation OF social and political
wrongs.
My experience, and the experience Of
tho whole newspaper world teaches that

higher priced contemporaries.
The Providence News will rapidly be
uiade TO surpass in merit, enterprise, reli-
ability, Independence and honesty all
other Providence papers.
IL will virtually be "a two or threc-ccnt
paper, cs you please, sold at the popular
price one cent
The Providence News will commend
I.ght and condemn wrong wherever it
finds IL, without fear or favor.
1t will protect the poor and defenccless
against the powerful, whenever the right
is on the side of the oppressed.
The News will defend organized labor
against trusts aud combinations, when.
ever ITS cause is just.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Provi-

Were Liable to Cause Trouble for the
Deacon When Milking.


Speaking about umbrellas said
Butterwick, as he leaned back in his
comfortable armchair and watched the
crowd padding by in the rain, always
reminds me of pleasant little episode
that occurred some years ago when l
was a free and careless farmer boy,
as the poet tells about, working for a
good old Methodist deacon named
Boggs.
The deacon owned COW that had
an annoying habit of switching her tail
while being MIXED, and as Boggs quite
naturally objected to being swatted
alongside of the head or having his hat
cuffed off every other second, he used
to serve an injunction on the tail-four-
ishing by tying the offending appendix
fast to his bootstrap when he sat down
to milk. Then he would go ahead and
extract the lacteal fluid in peace, while
the astonished COW would shake her
head and wonder why her switching ap-
paratus didn't work with it accustomed
freedom.
"One rainy day, wher the deacon was
milking away as usual, with the cows
continuation anchored to his boot
strap, I thoughtlcssly walked in front
Of her with an open umbrella, and the
next instant the ancient but still able
bo(ded milk producer was plunging
wildly about the barnyard like a brin-
die cyclone, whilo her owner, with his
head jammed through the bottom of
the wooden milkpail and its contents dis
tributed partially over his person, was
hopping frantically along behind her
on one foot and imploringly shouting:
so. boss! So, boss!' at every jump.
at was as good as a regular circus
performance while it lasted, and I en-
ioyed it immensely, or, at least, l would
llavo done but for thinking about
what Boggs might say when he got
loose.
The boot strap finally broke, al
lowing the deacon to roll in one direc-
ton, while the COW plunged headlong
through a closed gate, smashing it into
kindling wood, and galloping off in an
other.
1T suddenly dawned on me that this
was q good time to take vacation, so
l started at once, taking my employers
consent for granted. 1 stayed away
until Boggs had cooled up and built
new gate, and then ( sneaked back
one morning and went to work again.
And all the bluff, good-hearted old
deacon ever said to me about the mat
ter was:
"Wilyum Henry, low ye're mighty
good hand ter work, an l don't know
zactly haw I'd manage ter git along
through haydn an harvest without ye,
but if ye ever try ter kerry an umbreller
in front Of a COW gin when I'm milllin'
her, TT git up an break every tarnal
bone in yer good-fur-nothin' carcass!
Understand!'
81 understood. And not wishing to
interrupt the harvest gathering by get
ting crippled for life, I always left my
parachute in the house during milking
time after that."-Detroit Free Press.
