LINGO OF THE cows
WEST SIDE RESIDENT IS WISE ON
CHERISH.
CALLS THE TURN ON BOSSES
The Cows Come Running When Ad-
dressed in Dead Language-Chunks
Have Been Hewed off the
Original Expressions.

Over on the west side Of town is a
considerable section of the city's COW
district. Here the wall eyed steer and
the no horned "moOly COW" and the lit
tie cavorting calf and the brindle heller
are to be found-for little season before
they are converted into roast beef and
veal outlets and tripe la Creole. And
here the cry of GO. bossy' takes the
man who strays that way back to the
"boyhOod's happy days down on the
farm. farm, farm" and tells him again
of the time he used to get up at in
the morning and relieve the herd of their
ctealis, the while sitting on the three
legged stool Of glorious memory.
GO, Bossy," said one of these men
softly, as he strilled around his yard
the other day. GO. bossy!" And can
you tell me, sir, what you mean when
you say Co. bossy'?'
The genius Of the district couldn't tell
for the life Of him. He had been engag-
ed in the COW line for good many years
re allowed, and he had found the ex-
preston in use when he started. He did
not know where it came from and he
had not inquired and he wasn't quite
clear just what 1t meant. But the cows
seemed to like it. That was enough for
him.
The man who had lived In the country
and had also read a bit hunted up
rather more intellectual audience than
that furnisher by the genius of the dis
tlict ami his fellows in the COW line.
When he had open d the subject he said:
Boss is practically Identical in mean
ing with the Latin word hos. That's one
thing to remember. Then. as an offset,
and a puzzlng offset. there is the I'M
probability of farm hands interspersing
their remarks with quotations from

dead language That, as it happens. is
not exactly the speciality of the horny
handed son Of toll. Bartlett got at the
idea earliest, l think, when he presented
the diminutive 'bossy' with reference to
the calf. After this the word got into
the dictionary. the farm took naturally
to the term and the cows got to answer
when they heard The cal Come. bossy.
which has been shortened to Co, bossy,'
or Co, boss
1T was originally meant for the ex.
elusive use of the calf, but the fathers
and mo-. hers Of the herd came in time to
answer to it as well. a boss calf was
primarily meant to be a calf that was al
lowed to stray in the boose, or stall. Az
ter while the whoe tenn boss calr
was found too long for the growing idea
Of brevity, and the animal was calleo
simply "A boss. or bossy, leaving off tho
calf lust as we say Jersey for Jersey
COW, or pug for pug dog. or Shanghai for
SHANGHAI ch cken, or cana.y for canary
bird and SO on.
There are lots of other words thas
have come to be shortened from their
original FORM The grown COWS haVent
any real night to the term, but they
claim 1t Just the same and, If you want
their attent on, the best way to get II 70
call Co. bossy'."
