BACK TO THE OLD HOME.
Tho Remarkable Journey Farmer Foy's Heller
h1ade Because She was Homesick.

The Remarkable Journey Farmer Foy's Hoif0r
Made Because She was aomesick.
The story in THE Sun about the Indiana
COW that, being.sold, became SO homesick that
she refused to give milk, but resumed her lac
teal duty the moment she was returned to her
old homo" said q Cattaraugus county citizen,
may be doubted by some. but not by me, for 1
remember Farmer Foy's:cow. up our way, and
know how homesick cows really become. Farmer
Foy lived just over the line in Mexican county,
Pa, and he sold several head Of cattle one
spring to a cattle buyer of Crawford county.
Among the lot was . three -y~ear-old heifer, born
and raised on tho Foy farm. Great difficulty
was encountered in getting this young animal
away from her native place, but the drover at
last succeeded in driving her along with the rest
to the railroad station, whence they were all
shipped to Meadville, by Salamanca, q round.
about course OF $50 miles.
-Four weeks later Farmer Foy was awakened
late one night by the bawling of q cow. The
bawling was SO unusual and so loud and per-
sistent that by and by rhe farmer got up and
dressed aud went out to see what it meant. He
covered that the animal that had boon making
all the fuss was the three-year-old heifer he had
sold to the cattle buyer o month before, She
was standing at the bars OF the barnyard and
calling Justify to BIO let in. She was promptly
let in and she lay down in her old place as II she
ndu never letb IL.
Next day it was discovered that the critter
was thin and ~footsore and plainly worn by long
travel. Foy. being q native of Crawford county,
was o subscriber to one Of the Neadville papers,
and in the weeks issue that came the day after
the return of the heifer he saw her advertised
closure one night Of the previous week. A re-
ward was offered for her return. That tho
heifer had found her way back to her old homo
ling which IL was necessary for her to cross the
Allegheny River at least three times. as well as
EhA lnrnA Cfrnnn ms HhsArA ntnld hA M doubt
and that In her anxiety to get back she had not
spared time to do much eating by the way was
shown by her emaciated condition. How she,
a strange cow, travelling through o strange
land. managed to escape detention by some ono
as an estray, and by what marvellous instinct
she found her way back to her native p~astures,
are things no one will ever know. It Ia hardly
necessary TO say that Farmer Foy promptly re-.
ceifyed . ISes anG t nhset the n ppp piine no ps mao re-
all the rest of her days on the farm TO return to
which she had made 80 remarkable o journey"

For nearly an hour on Wednesday afternoon
the block in Eighteenth street between Avo.
nues d and O was impossible because OF a
fierce battle between nearly 200 boys who were
divided into two factions. Those from the
nclghborhood of Avenue b represented the
United States Army, and were under the lead
ership Of n 14.year-old lad called "Snappy."
BILLY the Barber. who is - years old, was
the leader of tho Avenue @ gang, which repre-
Bented the Spanish Army.
Tho oontending forces FIRST mot in conflict on
Tuesday, when about q score of boys fought In
the street. Ono of tho combatants fired a small
calibre pi stol. and when the bullet lodged in the
leg Of another boy and he fell TO the ground
crying. the battle came TO an end and the fight
ers dispersed. Each side enlisted moro re-
cruits over night and It was understood that
the battle would DO resumed on Wednesday.
Tho young soldiers armed themselves with
%stones. tin cans. old bottles. and clubs.
The stone throwing began when the van OF
the opposing forces advanced. and there was
q great rattline Of broken glass as the missiles
crashed through nearby windows.
Passers-by lodged into halls to escape the ny
ing stones, and tenants living on that block 70.
manned in the houses in q state Of siege. Vic
tory fluttered from side to side, and In the ABB
senee of banners had no place ON which to perch.
"Snappy" and his American soldiers drove
back, the Spanish Army to the corner OF Avenue
before the shower of stones from the .Spaniards.
While . German grocer was walking down
tho street during the hottest part of the battle

The policeman. ran to the corner, got q view
Of the battle and realized that IL was too big
for him to suppress alono, SO he went to the
East Twenty.second street station for assist
ance.
Capt. Hasslacher sent out . squad of eight
policemen. to capture as many Of both armies
as possible. Tho bluecoats divided and APP
proached the battlefield from front and rear.
at sight Of them the lighting stopped and both
armies mingled in u wild rush to escape. They
dodged:into halls, into cellars, over fences and
capturing only one prisoner each.
The prisoners were benjamin Burns, b1S East
Eighteenth street; John Hausker, 200 Avenue

Walter Renal. 305 Avenue q; Peter Niohol,
and James Maloney Of 547 East Fifteenth

ers were from 10 TO 10 years old.
When they were arraigned before Magis-
trate Crane in tho Yorkville Court yesterday

let them of 90 easily and fined them SO each
for disorderly conduct. Maloney's mother paid

The New Jersey branch Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals sent several
Of its agents down to the PennsylVania Railroad
stock yards last woek TO be on hand while tho
b37 reindeer brought here for the Klondike relief
expedition were being landed. There was very
little for the agents to do, as the reindeer woro
well treated by the horders and drivers.
It occurred TO one Of the agents. n stalwart
young man whose brand.new uniform indicated
that he was now In the business, that he would
mako inquiries about the arrangements for feed
ing and watering the reindeer. Accordingly no
approached a black-boarded man who had come
over with the Laplandcrs and deer and said:
when do you propose to give those animals

I'm afraid we'll have to water them to-
morrow" responded the black.bearded man.

After a Prief. conference the three agents
marched over to where a representative of tho
Government, was standing. Clearing his throat
one Of them began:

water the reindeer any more. It's too bad that
you got agitated unnecessarily"
The agents looked very foolish, said they were
sorry. and withdrew to another part OF the
wharf, where the two older ones said things TO
the new man, who had brought them the news.

The herald., 1898-01-23

Quietly and unostentatiously an old
warrior, who has fought in battles in
all parts of the world, has returned
to the east to spend his declining years
in dreams of the past. He has neither
sword nor musket. He is as unfamiliar
with a six-shooter as a Sioux Indian
with the outfitting of an electric plant.
All his life he has been fighting
against the devil, and while he admits
with a twinkle in his fine old eye that the
devil Is still pretty robust, there are
one or two scars on his horny surface
given him by Bishop Taylor of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Without
question the Bishop is the most success.
full missionary of modern times. He is
now seventy-seven years of age, and was
retired by the last general conference of
the church from his position as bishop
of Africa.
Before quitting work for good he was
determined to make a final visit to the
missionary stations in the vast extent
of territory which was his precinct. In
1898, when he was seventy-three years
of age, he travelled 1900 miles inland
into part of Africa which twenty years
ago had not been mapped, walking
through tropical thickets along path

all. Moreover, their ears are filled with
lies by the local religious organizations,
which sometimes we cannot get a chance
to controvert.
Lack of adaptability Is the greatest
weakness of most missionaries. You
must understand the manners of the
people with whom you have to DEAL"
In all parts of the world are aborigines
who have been named after the bishop,
some of them middle-aged men and
women now. Africa has several hundred
black Williams, who will remember the
broad -shouldered, white-bearded giant
who converted them or their parents.
1t has been estimated that the bishop
has been the agent of bringing the souls
Of 900 heather to grace.
The grand old man will spend his de.
clining days at the house of his son, the
Rev. Ross Taylor of New York. He
will not be idle, for his correspondence
is large and his advice is always in de-
mand. c. S. RUSSELL.
