Peter Juel one of our merchants
had quite an exciting time of it one
evening this week when young COW
undertook to make it lively for all
persons in sight, she first made
break for Mrs. Olsen's littlegirl bunt-
ing her down and then running over
her; then she made a dive for Mrs.
Oleson who had the baby in her arms,
both went down after furious bunt
the COW running over them. Now
came Pete's turn but after maneuver-
ing for more time and edging around
the yard to where there was a spade
which he seized and feeling on more
equal terms he met the charge with a
tremendous whack on muley's head
which made her look astonished ifa
COW can look astonished, theu seeing
victory ahead and throwing all rules
of warfare to the winds he went after
her with that trusty weapon and for
about two minutes resounding blows
were the only sounds that broke the
silence when bossy took to ignomin-
Gus flight. Mrs. Oleson and children
hey ond the fright were for wonder
not injured to any serious intent.
