couldnt Ma1k the Bicycle.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles
began to be freely used throughout the
United States, an agent for New York
house turned up at a village in Central
New York. He .expatiated to an old
farmer upon the virtues of the new ma
chime, dwelling upon what tifne-savef
it was, and withal how fashionable if
would be for the old farmer to be able
to ride down to the village on one of
the rew-fangled machines whenever he
wanted to.
''Why," said the salesman, whenever
you go to the postofice, bank, or store,
everybody will stop and stare at Farmer
Wilson, and pretty soon you'll be the
most-talked-of man in the whole coun-
ty."
'eThat may be So" replied the farmer.
but I tell you I'm a-needin' a good
new cow mon am one O. them things
you're a-tallSin' about"
Nevertheless, the agent extracted a
promise that the old man would save
up his money and purchase a bicycle
when the agent came around in the fall.
According to promise, the agent was
on hand in the fall with the wheel. The
farmer took him in charge and carried
him out to the lot and showed him a
| fine Jersey cow.
That's what bought with the money
l saved up for you," said the farmer.
And without waiting for the agent to
recover from his surprise he went on !:
:! lowed that l needed the cow mon
did the bicycle, an There she is. Amt
she beaut?"
When the agent recovered his breath
he said: You'll look funny riding that
cow to town, won't you?"
"Ya'as," drawled out the old farmer,
"but I'd look darned sight funnier
tryin' to milk bicycle"
