Before we went paw He was tellin US
all about the great things he ust to

wonder people Didn't come from miles
around to See paw.
So when we got out paw He thot he
would Sho US now to milk a COW and
Unkle Henry give him a pale aud a
stool with Only n Laig what pa had
TO B Illunce himself on.
Tney was a nice Sad looken COW

Stripe arc Ind Wnaire WImmen Waire

Paw she was as G=ngle as a lam; so
paw took off his cote and cuffs and let
nav Hold Them, and pulled up his
8leaves and Set Down on the Stool
with one laig and Held the pale Be
tween His nees and Grabbed Hold
with Both Hands.
The furst stream shot out WHARF
paw wasent Looken fer it and went
all over His Best Pants and nav she
Began to Jaw and Told him H couldn't

You can take it out with a little gas a
lean. You couldn't expect a person
what was out of practus to Set rite
Down and do thia as Good "a if He
was K9epin at it Every Day. But I'll
Be all rite in a minute or two"
Abou that Time the COW wanted to
mock a fl ; off her Side, 30 she switched
around and got her tai! mixed 10 with
paws mustash and paw He had TO
spit as Hard as he Could for quite
a while aud he forgot to milk.
Then He B gun again and His hand
SLIPPED and the Stream Hit nav JUS
below the Ear and run Down inside OF
her collar. MaH she yelled and
Dropt paws cuffs, and the pupp thot
iG was the Cows foot so he made a
Grab at her heels and the Cow sept
