The Coalville times. [volume] (Coalville, Utah) 1894-1923, 1902-01-24


A farmer was given a fine 81. Bor-
nard puppy by friend one winter and
installed him la a woodshed. near the
kitchen. Il 80 happened that two
grave old cats. each with a family OF
kittens. had their headquarters in this
same woodehod, and they decided that
the puppy vas not NJ TO move In their
circle Of society. for he was very rude
and clustering. as most puppies are.
The cats few at poor Don. as he was
called. and gave him fearful clawlng,
while the kittens sat on pieces OF wood
and told thelr mothers 70 90 ahead and
win. Dnn's master took him TO the
barn md tod him TO make himself at
home. pnd Don went mp 60 giddy,
young talf and smiled DC hard ne be
could. trying to be friends. The calf
was a very silly little thing and cried
for It's mother as hard as IL could. It's
mother was tied by thick rope in
stall, but she broke the rope and
showed Don that he wasn't wanted In
that barn by tossing him through the
open door with her horns. Don never
forgave that COW. and be would go In
10 the barn and make faces ut the calf.
which would shout as loud ms II could
for lis mother 10 come aud resuo Il.
This would set the COW almost frantic.
and she would rip and tear about her
stall IN a most undisninod manner.
When at list the calf was sold It's
mother blamed Don for IL. and every
time she saw him she would do her
best to get at him and hook him,
When summon came and the cattle
were all turned out In The fields TO
Craze during the day the farmers
small boy had the Office OF bringing
them back to the barnyard at night.
Tho first time ne went for them he
took Don along for company, and the
lrst COW Don spiod was the ono that
had tossed him out OF the barn. lie
went up 70 her politely and asked her
how she felt that evening, but she eyl-
IDENTIFY did not feel well, for she
frownod terribly and aallopod. at Don
as hard as she could, with her horns
lowered until they pointed straight al
him. Don ana not Ike the look OF
those horns, and he started for home
as fast ns ne could run TO see If rup-
Der was ready. Tho COW eallopod after.
but che could not run nearly so fast as
Don and ho easily got away The
next evening Don went again with the
small boy 20 bring IN the cows, and
this time his particular enemy was
waiting for him. She Immediately
gave cnnse, and Don ran iust fast
enough 20 keep out Of reach Of her
horns. She followed him clear to the
barnyard. where he jumped through
the bars OF the gate and escaped lie
repeated this for several days and the
COW would always pursue him madly
as long as he was anywhere near her.
After a time Don formed a bad habit
OF going out into the field IN the day
time and getting the COW to chase him,
He would run 10 fence and slip
through or over the Fails but the poor
COW. in trying to got through or over
would crash into the fence, breaking
II to pieces. She never learned that
there was no chance Of her catching
Don. for he would artfully keep just o
few feet ahead OF her. barking and
aourlfhing his tail in a most provoking
way. AT last the COW broke so many
fences In her useless pursuit OF Dor
that the farmer sold her and ended
Don's fun in this direction.
