Cow Drinks Lemonade.

A game OF baseball was in pro.
gress at Larue, Penn, between the
home team and Jacobus team, the
game being feature of a picnic.
Men, women and children watched
the athletes from a temporary
stand. Behind this stand was a
halt barrel OF red lemonade which
had been provided for the ball play
ers and the towns folk by one of the
phllanthropic residents of the viii
lagc. So engrossed were all the
spectators of the ball game that
they did not observe when spotted
COW entered the athletic field.
The COW browsed for awhile upon
the tender grass and then, looking
about for liquid to quench her
thirst, she espied the barrel of
tempting red lemonade and thrust
her nose into its cool and refresh
ing depths. She did not stop drink
ing while spoonful of the enticing
beverage was left. Then it was
that some of the picnickers discov-
cred the presence of the thirsty
cow.
