 Our Blewford and Winslow cor respondents send in the names of a number of people this week to whom they wish sample copies of The News sent. They will surely go.

They may have formerly resided there and have moved away, and surely such would be glad to hear from their former home.

many teeth has a horse. and why has a
COW teeth only on one jaw?''
Mr.. Bowser was boWled over in a
minute, but he didn't stay bowled. He
rallied and answered.
"A horse has thirty teeth, and any
fool knows that COW has teeth on
both jaws"
The male horse has fourteen teeth
and the female only twelve, Mr.. Bow
esr, while the COW has teeth only on
one jaw, and that is the lower one.
Can you tell me why this is so 20
Because 1t Isn't. It isn't so within
forty rods
But it Is. Any veterinary surgeon
or work on anatomy Will tell you so. -
w Woman, don't try any tricks on
mel" shouted Mr.. Bowser, as he turn
ed red and white. Il sit down here
this evening to give you a few lessons
in natural history, and you try to turn
the whole thing into sarcasm. You
talk Of confederation. I will now go
out and get such proofs that I am
right and you are wrong as will bury
you out of sight. By thunder, but you
have cheeki"
Mr.. Bowser went to the butcher and
was told that Mrs Bowser9 was right.
He went to a livery stable and was told
the same thing. He went to a grocer,
who had been farmer, and was sat
down on some more AS a last resort
he visited his family druggist and got
1t in the neck again. and the druggist
added:
"Bowser, make thorough job of it
and find out how many teeth an ass
has gotl'
He left the store boiling over and
seeing red. but saliva ton was at hand,
A boy and a wheelbarrow came rum
ming down the sidewalk at a 2:4O gait
and as. Mr.. Bowser didn't get out OF
the way he was struck by the wheel
and rolled into the street, and when
assisted home by two kind pedestrians
he knew that Mrs Bowser's solicitude
for his welfare would prevent her hav-
ing another word to say about horses

There will be no conversation
about cats" she interrupted.
Then remember what have told
you for your own good You have
seen hundreds of flies trying to get
into the house, haven't you2"
THAT reminds me that we ought to
have three new screens
Don't try to switch off on any tan
gents, Mrs. Bowser, but answer me
why a fly wants to get into the house?
He has all outdoors to himself. No
traps or fly paper await him there.
He can roam from Maine to Califor-
MIA, and yet he is fool enough to want
to get into the kitchen and be knock
ed down by the cook. Why is it2 Did
you ever give the matter a thought? %
Several thoughts, Mr.. Bowser- The
fly finds a greater variety of food in
the house. You don't find 'em in an
empty house"
well spoken, but not the facts A
fly. Mrs. BOWser, is an insect OF sent1-
ment. He is not generally so taken,
and that's where people make their
mistake. While he appreciates the
company of 9th er flies, he appreciates
that of human beings more. If barred
from human beings he takes to the
horse or COW. His sole object in en-
tering a house is to be near the cook or
members of the family Every time
he is repulsed his feelings are hurt. 1
QOQ say you are BulitS u HtAA uSA
every time you kill fly, but 1 do con-
tend that if people appreciated the
situation of affairs there would be less
fly killing. Take it and remember 1t,
that the fly would keep far from you
If he wasn't lonely and did not wish
for human society"
And it's the same with the mos
quito. suppose - she queried.
Exactly. I am glad to set your IN

But if the mosquito is seeking hui
man sympathy why did you jump out

swearing? Why did you bat at two
or three IN the room with the pillows
Why didn't you hang out sign of:
Human Sympathy Found Here 2 -
Don't run things into the ground,
Mrs. Bowser. If the mosquito takes a
bite or two while looking for human
sympathy it's all in the way of graft
and can't be blamed. I have no recol-
lection of any such incident as you
name. We have owned horses and

1--WE shall talk about the heather,
probably, instead of horses and COWS. "
But why do these animals lie down
and get up in different ways" per-
sisted Mr. Bowser. You should learn
for your own benefit"
I'm sure don't know
tThen L will proceed to inform you.
A COW sinks down on her knees first
that she may examine the grass and
see if there are any bumble-bees'
nests around. A horse sinks down be-
hind first that he may take a last look
at the clouds and see what the weather
is to be. In rising a COW is still look
ing for those nests. and the horse
wants to know if there is going to be a
thunder storm that day. 1 ask no
credit for what I am telling you
though it has cost me many years OF
observation For instance, how many
persons in this town could tell you
why cows and horses switch their
tails?"
''They do it to keep the flies off, OF
course"
"Ha. Ia, hal That was the very an
swer I expected. It is the very one
most people would give, and yet it's
wrong. The tail-switching is an in
