We think the farmers will be interest
ed In the story Of COW purchased OF
Charles r. Briggs by Mr.. Geo. w. Ridlon.
She was not warranted to be circus
animal but, in our opinion, Barnum q
Bailey would have paid generous sum
to become her owner and place her In
the center ring with the clown. Inc
other day after buying her Mr.. Ridlon
turned her into the yard with several
other cows who were to be her compan-
ions, and as she was inclined to be over
important and aggressive, even driving
the older COW away from the watering
place Mr.. Ridlon finally administered
punishment with hoe handle, whereat
the much offended Mrs. Cow made bee
line back into the barn. When her
owner followed he found she had gone
through the whole length of the building
to the front door, where being consid-
erably excited and not approving OF hoe
handles she turned and faced him with
ewes that looked trihe dangerous.
wishing to use expediency and turning
away for moment for something, Mr..
Ridlon heard pattering footsteps and
looking around found his clever COW
was deliberately and successfully walk.
ing up the side stairs. When she reached
the top she turned and walked out on to
the single floor hay scaffold where she
contentedly began eating hay and ap-
parently "laughing in her sleeve" 80 to
speak, at her amazed and discounted
owner. Mr.. Ridlon was divided between
fear that she would break through the
single floor or fall off the edge of the
scaffold into the barn floor, and as usual
with a sensible man he consulted his
wife, and two men were secured and
council of ways and means was at once
held. Meantime the COW was happy
she didn't care if hay was SIS a ton-and
she knew that instead of hoe handles
there would be flattery and coaxing
words. Finally, realizing that she was
intelligent and might be persuaded to
come down the same way she went up,
the plan was tried with perfect success
A rope was tied around her horns to
help hold her back and after looking al
the stairs and thinking it over she de
cided to 60 down; and while her weight
carried her quite rapidly the last few
steps, she arrived safely and proved al
