THE ONLY ONE OF HIS KIND
South Dakota Farmer Whose Cow Sur

PAAoCN q AvuAA way NAaAm x26cAL
Now, don't all try it. A COW belonging
to a farmer residing near Carthage. we re-
gret we cannot call his name, strayed on
to the Northwestern railroad track and
was run down and killed by a train. The
farmer decided his COW had trespassed on
the company's property and had received
her just deserts, so he gave the section men
a dollar to bury her and said no more about
1t. The matter was reported to headquar-
ters in the regular course of business, and
soon afterward an officer of the company
called on the farmer.
you had cow killed on the track few
days ago, didn't your"
"Yes, sir.' timidly replied the farmer,
thinking he was up against a soulless cor
poration in a suit for trespass.
well, how did it happen?"
"Im sure don't know; the COW got out OF
the pasture and got onto the track and was
killed; it wasn't my fault; I paid the Sec
tion men dollar to bury her, so the COM
pany isn't anything out"
"How much was the COW worth?"
"Oh, she was just good, fair COW, worth
about $25."
The agent departed and the farmer went
on worrying about a trespass suit that he
was sure would be brought against him. A
few days later he received a letter from
headquarters. and upon opening it with
trembling hand he discovered, not a sum-
mons for suit in trespass, but check for
$25 for the loss of his COW and an annual
pass over the road, the letter stating that
he was the only man that had ever had
cow killed on the road that did not swear
she was registered thoroughbred, worth

tramps across country are taken partly
with view to combat this tendency. For
the same purpose Mr.. Cleveland has built
an addition to his house, in which he has
fitted up billiard room, and he spends an
hour or two every day with cue in hand.
Mrs. Cleveland, too, is becoming stouter,
though she Is very active. and probably
walks more miles in a year than almost
even more familiar figure on the streets
than her husband, and is acquainted with
almost every person in the town.
The Clevelands are very popular in
Princeton. for they have entered heartily
into the unconventional social life of the
town and the university. Mrs. Cleveland
exchanges calls with many of the ladies',
and, with her husband often attends little
dinner parties or entertains neighbors at
her own home. The little girls, who are
as healthy and pretty misses as can be
found in all the country, run about wher-
ever their childish desires lead them, and
whenever, as often happens, a little fete
or party is arranged for them at home the
other children of the village are always IN
vited IN. The whole life of the Cleveland
household is ordered in as complete SIM
plicity as the most democratic American
could desire.
Since his removal to Princeton the ex-
president has exhibited deep interest in
the affairs of the university, and his most
intimate friends are among the Princeton
professors. Since receiving the degree OF
LII. d. he has complied to the general rule
of wearing the cap and gown in attend
ance at all university functions. and his
latest photograph represents him attired

This Is the ordinary round OF the ex-
presidents daily life, but he often varies
1t by appearing directly after breakfast In
hunting boots and broad-brimmed hat,
with a gun across his shoulder. Then he
will tramp away across the fieids and hills,
returning at night with perhaps three or
four rabbits as the days spoil. Mr.. Cleve-
land was always an ardent sportsman, ana
his propensity in this direction Is even
more marked now that he has more leisure
to indulge it. The section of New Jersey
In which he lives is not particularly fertile
in this direction, the only game being a
few rabbits, squirrels and partridges, but
Mr.. Cleveland Is not easily discouraged.
He has tramped all over the central part
of the state and will walk patiently all day
long for the sake of a shot or two, stop
ping now and then to chat with some hard
handed old farmer whom he runs across.
All the latter gentry for miles around
know the ex-president. Though they are
inveterate enemies of the city sportsmen
who occasionally overrun their fields, they
are all delighted at n chance to exchange
a few words with their distinguished neigh
bor, and are hugely honored if he will con-
sent to pass an opinion on their home
A Quiet Round Of Daily Life
Mr.. Cleveland has an occasional oppor-
tunity to indulge his fondness for fishing.
Near Princeton there is little stream
called Mill brook, in which there are few
bass and pike. Some time ago the ex-
president noticed 1t while out driving, and
through a mutual friend it was soon inti-
mated to one of the residents of the viii
lage who owns two or three little skins in
the stream, that Mr.. Cleveland would like
to try his luck there. The owner of the
boats, though something of a fisherman,
was appalled, at the prospect of plotting
the generous bulk Of his famous townsman
down the swift stream in one of the little
craft. He placed his boats at the dis
posal of Mr.. Cleveland, but excused him.
self from going. The ex-president re-
Gently bought q rocky little farm about
three miles from Princeton.
It has been said that this was the begin
ming of a big game preserve. but the owner
speaks of 1t more modestly. 'It's simply
a convenient stopping place when out for
a days hunting" said Mr.. Cleveland to
the writer, land a spot where one can
shoot without trespassing on his neigh
bors. With the cooperation of the sur
rounding landowners It may be made to
help in preserving the natural game of the
region, but it would be too ambitious to
call it game preserve"
Mr.. Cleveland has taken on weight since
he laid down the cares of office. Just
how much avoirdupois he has added to
his previous generous allowance is un-
known, but he now tips the scales at
something over 300 pounds. His long

and easily gets out of order. 1t has, too,
this fascinating fault, in addition to those
which 1t shares with the feather blouse,
that comparatively slight changes alter its
