Interviews Amiable Cow.

Well young man." said the Ami
able Cow, as JimmiebOy sat down on
the grass beside her. and as a an act
of courtesy to his hostess, began to
chew the grass she so generously Of
fered MIN. What are you oolhS III
Trustland"
"Oh. I've just come in to look
around" said Jimmieboy. Il have
charge of Uncle Sans bureau. you
know"
It's a strange place for one so
young" suggested the Amiable Cow,
gazing steadfastly at Jimmieboy as II
she were sizing him up. Most Of the
other lookarounders we've had in here
nave been much older than you. Some
of 'em were really old enough to know
better Maybe you'll see more than
they did, however, without trying so
hard, just because you are young and
have better eyes. En?"
Il hope So" said Jimmieboy pleas
antly
We'll. take my advice, dear, and
don't strain those pretty little peppers
of yours" observed the old creature
kindly. This country is full of daz-
zling things, and lots of people have
been completely blinded by them. You
remember the old Phillinox, don't you,
who came in hear last year to find out
all about me?'
Yes" said Jimmieboy, I've heard
about him."
We'll, you know what happened to
him." laughed the Amiable Cow. He
didn't last forty minutes after he got
out, and now mes living in the Fair
banks Home for Aged and Blind
Statesmen down in Washington. He
was a very bright and useful man in
his day. Never had the slightest
trouble in earning his $3.50 a week,
and now look at him-filed away with
people like Chauncey and Plat ana
the other ninetygenarians that live in
the Fairbanks Home. It's a sad end
ing of a brilliant career can tell you.
What are you going to do when you've
seen all there is on view here?"
Il thought I'd write a composition
about it and read it to my teacher"
Jimmieboy answered. 1.-The boys at
Uncle Sans house have to turn out a
number of compositions every year to
keep the printing Office going"
Ihats a good idea" said the Ami
able Cow, after chewing her cud for
few moments. "A very good idea
But would you like me to tell you what
to say? 1 might take a whole after
noon off to do it for you. Eh?"
1T would be splendid" cried Jim
mieboy with real enthusiasm. 1T
would be mighty kind of you, too, Mrs.
Cow"
1T would help you to get the facts
exactly right, you know" continued
the Amiable Cow.
That's all I really want" continued
Jlmmieboy. conf1dingly Il don't think
any imaginary stuff would do any
good. do you?"
Nope" siled the Amiable Cow in.

I'd have stopped in a minute"
1T dud-doesn't distress me, Mool-
ey," sobbed Jimmieboy. "But-but it's
very pathetic. Go on"
mo indeed, 1 shall not go on" said
the Amiable Cow. There are eight
hundred more verses, running all the
way through my bill of fare and back,
telling of the virtues of MOOley, but
wouldn't think of bringing any more
tears to those pretty eyes of yours. My
mission is to bring happiness, not tears
into the world. To make men big and
strong and brawny, not to weaken
them with weeping. So let us nave no
more tear raising poetry"
you are the sweetest, kindest crea-
ture 1 ever met" said Jimmieboy, en-
Enthusiastically.
And yet, you know people say hor-
rid things of me-" sighed MORLEY
"They call me a trust and say that I
ruin people and drive them to suicide
and all that Did you ever hear of
anybody being ruined by a slice of
roast beef"
"Never!" cried Jimmieboy, indig-
nantly.
Did corned beef and cabbage ever
drive man to suicide?" she demanded
with a quavering voice.
Its perfectly absurd to say such
thing said Jimmieboy.
They say that thousands of far
mers have been crushed by me-" said
the Amiable Cow, land yet you never
heard an unkind work or the slightest
bit of scandal or gossip falling from
my tongue. 1 have supplied the world
with good red blood I have kept
every boarding house in this beauti
full land plentifully provided with hash
and, as the poem intimates, in the glad
Christmastide of every year it is to
me that people look. for their mince
pies and their suet buildings and all
the other good things that makes the
small boys mouth water and his stom-
ach rejoice. And yet the Phillinox
wanted to have me indicted Jimmie
boy-just think of it; indicted as
though 1 were some kind of embezzler
who'd run off with the money of the
widow and orphan. You'd think from
the way they talk of me I was the Mrs.
Chadwick of the bovine world 1t is
dredfully unkind.'
Here poor old Mooley buried her
head in the clover patch and sobbed as
if her heart would break.
Its rotten!" said Jimmieboy wrath
fully.

''it has been the ambition of every one
Of us to make the world happier, that's
all. You remember ner, don't you?"
Il don't remember of ever hearing

''Oh, you must have" said Mooley

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The COW jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
To see sucn sport,
And the dish ran away with the

"Oh, yes!" cried Jimmieboy, "Was
that your mother?"
THE very same" said Mooley. Even
in that you see what a tender heart
she had for others. If she could make

And yet even then there were people
who complained of her actiOn-Said it
was scandalOus for beef to be so high. ~
We'll, I suppose people think you
make some kind of profit out of it ALL
said Jimmieboy, trying to cheer Mool-
ey up. You know 1 always has that
idea myself until 1 came here ana
found how it's only your big heart that
makes you do it. People get queer
ideas sometimes, and then the news
papers tell all sorts of stories about
YOU"
Profit" cried Mooley, raising her
self on her forelegs in establishment.
Me make a profit out of the necessi-
ties of people? Oh, Jimmieboy! How
could you ever think such thing even
if the newspaper did say so? Tell me,
child, did you ever in all your life see
COW of any kind anywhere that led
anything but the simple life?"
Never" said Jimmieboy, promtly
Did you ever hear of me or any Of
my kind putting up in style at expen-
sive hotels and wasting money in riot
Gus living, drinking champagne and
cocktails? Did you ever see a COW
riding in a hanson on Fifth avenue or
in any other way making a lavish dis
play of wealth? Do 1 or any COW of
your acquaintance squander vast sums
of money on automobiles, yachts, race
horses, pictures, rare books or other
things which are the outward and Wis
ible signs of great possessions?" de-
manded Mooley.
mo, ma'am," said Jimmieboy
Did you ever hear of a COW owning
a box at the opera or playing bridge
whist at two cents a point, which all
rich people do these days?"
Nope said Jimmieboy, shaking his
head empnatically.
Then why should you expect me of
making profit out of my charitable
work? Why, it's a dreadful accusa-
tion,' said Mooley.
Well, l don't believe it any more"
Jimmieboy fastened to say. "And now.

know 1t isn't so. 1 can see just by
looking at you that you are a dear,
sweet, big hearted old Mooley, whose
whose life is devoted to making the
world happier and stronger, not for
profits sake, but for the mere love of
doing good"
Doing whom good?" asked the Ar
mourdillo, returning at this moment
from the exercise with the coupon
mower.
Doing everybody good" said Mool-
Ell. with wink, which Jimmieboy did
not see.
I'm going to say it too, when 1 get
back said Jimmieboy.
Say what?" asked the Armourdil-

Say that your motive is to do
everybody good" said Jimmieboy

"Ver.- kind of you, my lad-but be
careful how you put it. Always avoid
the appearance of evil, my child, and
take care, when you speak English,
not to complicate the situation with

What mean to say is that Mooley

know first who I am, eh?"
That would make a good begin
ming, Mrs. Cow" said Jimmieboy, po-
litely.
Very good" said the Amiable Cow.
Then to begin with, my name isn't
Mrs. Cow at all, but Moody, just plain
Moody. Mrs. Cow sounds sort of cold
and formal, but Moody is term Of en-
dearment. Nobody could ever be
angry with anybody named Moody,
could they?'
Il shouldn't think So" said Jim
mieboy.
Right" said Moody. Il am the he
roine of a beautiful poem that our
laureate once wrote, called My MoOly.'
Ever hear it?'
NO said Jimmieboy. But I'd love
to nightly. I'm very fond of poetry
Very we'll, then, here goes" said
the Amiable Cow, and she ratified off
the following lines:-
who gives me all my sirloin steaks,
And sweet corned beef and cabbage
makes?
My Moo1ey!
Who when I'm hungry as a bear
Provides me with my roast beef rare?
My Mooley!
Who when 1 suffer from the Group
Doth fill me up with red hot soup?
My Mooley
VINO when 1 haven't got much cash
Doth feed me till l bust with hash?
My Mooley!
Who'd rather lost her hoofs and legs
Than keep me from my nam and eggs?
My Mooley!
Who when mock turtles do all fair
Brings cheerily her own ox-tail?
My Mooley!

Doth permeate the ricn mince pie?
My Mooley!
Who in the sandwich merrily
Doth play at hide and seek with me?
My Moo1ey!
Who when on Sunday hymns are sung
Upon the table spreads her tongue?
My Moo1ey!
Who furnishes the wondrous hide
For these, my boots, so full of pride?
My Moo1ey!
Who when in milk seek relief
Provides that sweet extract of beef?
My MOo1ey!
Here the Amiable Cow paused to see
how the poem affected her little WISH
tor and was deeply touched to see that
Jimmieboy was softly weeping.
why, my poor boy!" she calculated,
tenderly patting MIN on the back with
her long, silky tail. why didn't you
tell me the poem distressed you so?
