Seth Awful
 Fooled!
our Heroic Town CenssubbIs Thors He Had Went and | Lest He cow'f
 But He Was M'ss0oks"

Seth Dewberry, our heroic town con
 stubble. had 6 turribIe extraordinary ex perience last week and the fellows around
 town are pleggln seth-ao that he Is niosi ashamed to go outen the house.
 As everybody knows Seth has a old red
 COW with short horns and a few white
 spots on her which he has had in the
 family goin on fifteen years He calls her "Spot" because there Is spots on her
 We'll, on Wednesday morning of last week Seth he went out and miIked old Spot as usual and then turned her out to pasture. Long about milking time that same even- in when Seth took the milk pail and went out to the barn old Spot wasn't any where to be saw. but there right in the same spot where Spot alIus waits to be miikd every night was a strange COW that Seth couldn't remember of having
 saw before in all his life. so far as he could recolleckt.
 This strange COW had horns that must of been about IS inches long, whereas
 Spots horns wasn't more than six inches long and one of them wasn't that long, being as 1t had been broke of several years ago, when Seth got mad at old
 Spot because she stepped on his foot while he was milkin her he up and heaved & rock at her ana broke one of her horns about half off. This strange COW also hadn't no white spots on her like old Spot had--she was red all over. When Seth saw this COW standing there and couldn't see his own COW anywhere, he was terrible fIabbersasted. He turned the strange cow with the long horns out into the maIn road and told her to so along, then he called Spot as loud as he could holIer but Spot. didn't come.
 Being as it was getting dark fast. Seth he hunted all over the field where he had turned the COW out into that morning and hunted and hunted but ne Spot could he find When he came back to the barn there was that strange COW standing in the road waiting to be let in. Seth he driv her off again and went to the house In disgust.
 That night at Hen Weathersby's store Seth give out that he had lost his COW Spot and told all the fellers in the store he would be obliged if they saw her to let him know about 1t. Next mornin when Seth went out to the barn to feed there was that tarnation long-horned red COW waitin out in the road by the barn. Seth he must have driv her on down the road nine times that day. but she come back every time and Seth he got dis trying to make her keep off the premises. so he put her in the tie-up being as he thought whoever owned her would come around in a few days and then he might make little odd change in charging them for her keep. Mean while he didn't hear hide nor hair of Spot. Next morning Seth turned the red COW out in the field-that is the day it rained so horrible. In the evening when Seth found the strange COW waiting at the barn yard gate he could hardly be- lleve his own eyes when he saw that she had white spots on her just like his old Spot This naturally made him suspt- cious and he begin to look at her very critical. Still he didn't think she was his COW because look at the long horns yhe had! Seth, he went up to her and .ook holt of one of her horns and blamed f it didn't come off in his hand. Then le took holt of the other horn and pulled and 1t came off too and 10 and behold here stood his old COW Spot just as nat lral as life.
 Seth says it in his capacity aS town 1 constable its svHf finds out who the nends l n human form was that went and stuck | ] couple of long coSgs' horns on the horns | # old Spot and then went and painted ut her white spots with red paint, he will arrest them and give them the tuli 'xtent of the law
