eating a piece out of the panties of little
Henry Hopp, youngest son of George
Hopp. A piece of Henry went with the
garment. This was the second time the
dog had sampled Mr.. Hops child, and
when the shades of evening fell, George
and his brother John went cunning. Hap
pening to meet the dog they filled the air
full of objurgations and shot. The ami
NAL came thru it alive, but was slain
later by it's owner, who threatens to
/ have the Hops arrested for shooting on
his premises. The Preston Times says:
"The Times believes that the Messrs.
Hopp should be severely punished, not
because they attempted to kill the, dog,
but because of their miserably poor shoot

A COW owned by H. D. Roe Of Sussex
, county, New Jersey, has just sprung into
fame, having surpassed the worlds butter
record. The figures are official, for they
], were kept by the New Jersey agricultural
experiment station.
This cow is registered as No. 4s,42e in
: the Holstein- Friesian family and boasts
the name Of Aggie Cornucopia Pauline.
In thirty days beginning with, Feb. %
e last, Pauline yielded 2,640.25 pounds OF
milk. AS a gallon of milk weighs about
eight pounds, her product In thirty days
n was $50 gallons, or eleven gallons day
! The butter product for twenty eight days
: or four weeks, was 129.907 pounds or ar
pounds week. At this rate the COW
would produce 1,7o3 pounds Of butter 9
o year!
8 But this Is not all. Pauline has ha6
two sons and two daughters. It is 6
family of geniuses. Her Oldest son was
: ~ months old, for $1,000 and the pres.
d ent owners of her second son have re.
Gently refused $4,000 for him.
