! Because they have bunch of
! babies the Martins keep COW. But
| the man who milks it some times fails
them and this happened one night not
| long ago 1t also happened that Mr..
Martin, VINO lived on a farm when
he was a boy and can milk COW If
| it is absolutely necessary, was de-
| tanned at the office that evening. An
| other link in the chain OF destiny
! (whatever that isl was that neigh
Dor who also has baby but no COW
had been getting quart OF milk
every night of the Martins, The
neighbor came twice for the milk but
the man had not yet shown up and
| when he called the third time Mrs.
| Martin asked him if he knew how
to milk and suggested that he go out
and extract as much of the tactical fluid
as he wanted. The neighbor followed
this suggestion but stopping at the
house on his way home observed that
| he had a good deal of trouble milking
the COW. you know" he told Mrs.
Martin, they don't give down very
well for strangers" Just after ne
| left a young man came to call and
when Mrs. Martin told him her
troubles about the COW he said he
used to know how to milk and vol
unteered to drain this particular
| bovine. When he returned from the
barn he apologized for the scant Offer
| ing of milk saying, You know COW
won't give down her milk except for
| the person who milks her regularly"
/ Other visitors had arrived by this
time and when Mr.. Martin returned
home a half hour later and heard
them in the drawing room he re-
| membered that Mrs. Martin had tele-
| phoned him that the man hadn't come
| to milk the COW so he slipped out to
/ the barn without announcing his ar
rival to Mrs. Martin and their guests.
! Mrs. Martin going out in the kitchen
| to dig up some eats for the company
met him coming in the back door with
| the milk pail in his hand. THAT
! blamed COW won't give down her milk
for me-" he said after setting an al
! most empty pail on the table. And
! just then the cook who had been out
hearing his complaint exclaimed,
Law, chile! Have you done gone
| and MIXED that COW again? Why
Rufus was here early tonight and
MIXED at 3 o'clock"
