Children's Long Tramp.

Charlie and Ruby Smoot, children
aged and years, asked permission
Of their grandmother, who was caring
for them at their home in Monticello,
to take their COW out by the roadside
20 Craze Permission being granted,
they started out about 9 O'Clock, lead
ing the old COW. The next heard OF
them they had arrived at their old
home below Ewing, distance of 10
miles from Monticello, which place
they reached about 9 o'clock. Their
reason given for their long journey
was that their mother was at the time
down at their home, and they say
they took the cow along for company
and probably as guide, as they fur
ther related that when they reached
a crossroad this side of Sellers they
were undecided which was the right
road. They precociously turned the
cow loose while they hid and waited
to see which road she would take,
then followed her, she with true ant
NAL instinct leading the right way
home. They seemed none the worse
for the long journey, as the boy in
dulgeG in a swim that afternoon.
