Marx, one of the bandits, complains
that the hold up business had become

attributed to the suppression Of the

the Eyolurlos OF the TOws COW.

Time was WREN the town COW and the
village drunkard bore regulations of
equal disrepute. The old fashioned
town COW was had character. She
roamed about at midnight seeking what
gardens she might devour and rarely
missed her collation. OF young cab
bages and such other growing garden
truck as appeals. to bovine appetites.
She had horns. Often she wore bell
the tinkle OF which in the still watches
OF the night brought barelegged and
raging householders from their beds
armed with spch lethal weapons as
came handiest to, the defense OF their
property. She was as provocative OF
reighborhood broils as any old maid
mischief maker in the town. She knew
every gate that lacked hinge. the
vulnerability OF every fence In the
ueighborhood. Her victim Weakened to
q low crunchlng In his back yard, a
moist and salivary sound OF mastica-
tion. His advent upon the scene stirred
! dim form into activity; then came
crash OF rending fenceboards. the
clatter OF cloven hoofs and q stream
OF actionable language that included
all town cows and their owners in
prayer for their eternal punishment.
Perhaps the old time town COW wore
one horn Tapped down over her eye
like tough's hat as result Of a mis-
directed charge against garden fence
Of unusual solidity or fortune guild
ed stone or milk stool aimed by des-
perate hand Sometimes she wore a
board over her face as badge Of spe-
cial villiany and breachiness. Under
any circumstances she was drab and
an outlaw despised of men carrying
more or less jauntily the curse of the
community and the burden of enact
alton.
But all this has changed. The town
COW has become respectable. She goes
quietly to her pasture in the morning
and returns to bran mashes and the
refinements of bovine existence at night
fall. She lives indoors and makes
money for her owner. The town COW
has gone into business.

If the stage was devoted more to rO-
nance than nonsense it would be an
educator as we'll as n source of amuse-
ment. Many who do not have the time
to study history would in three hours
of enjoyment become acquainted
with the doings and atmosphere of
the middle ages and imbibe knowl-
edge of events which marked the evo-
luton from barbarism to civilization.
Such stories as "a Gentleman From
Gascony," to be seen at the Illinois

refined mind. Few young men and
women can talk of the doings of the
crusades, of the Paladins, of the

their best.
