recently came back from an extended

almost impossible to describe the lux

but the doctor tells a little story that
carries the idea very Well He said
that one old farmer who has Jersey
herd not far from Kansas City, missed
four of his cows one day and tracked
them to a cornfeld at d point where
the fence was broken. 1t was evident
that they had entered the corn but 1t
was expected they would come out
again when they got thirsty n Watch
was kept around the field all that day,
the next, and the following night, but
no COWS appeared. The next morning
the farmer sent three of his hired men
into the field on horseback. They had
canteens with them and a night lunch.
They spent most of the day in the
cornfield and finally found the cows
which were in a perishing condition
from the lack of water. They had lost
their way out and would have died
only for the search party. d. P. Kyle
says that DR.. Ford says that John T.
Dunlap knows the parties we'll and
