BETZVuI1E TALES
Christopher Plogs and the Honk- Honk

ILLUSTRATED BY PETER. NEWELL

The Hon. Christopher Plogs is one
Of the most prominent citizens of our
county, and is stout for his size, prin-
cipally around the belt. He is known
far and near as the only man with
nerve enough to wear a Prince Albert
coat on week days, and is represent
alive from our county in the state
house. We all wish he lived in Betz-
vile, but he comes down once In
awhile, and the other day he came
down in his automobile.
Gustapher's automobile is small but
nervy, being one of the vintage of
seven years ago, with q curly dash
board and an explanatory noise, and
when Gustapher gets aboard he fills
1t so full of Christopher that the
springs slap together like castanets.
The other day he came down to
Betzville and he had new honker

honker made honk exactly similar
to the bleat Of calf and that the COW
did not care fig for him or his au.
tomobile-all she cared for was the
low, pleading honk of his honker.
So Gustapher unscrewed his honk-
er, and after he had studied the COW
awhile he tied the horn on the cows
fore leg, and then he made her hist
up her foot, and he tied the bulb on
the bottom of her foot. Well, If you
ever saw joyous COW it was that
one when she set her foot to the
ground and the honker honked forth
a low, calf-life honk. She practiced a
few minutes, raising and lowering her
foot, and in a little while she could
honk as we'll as Christopher himself.
She was perfectly satisfied and hap
py, and Gustapher went on into town,
and did his business, and as he passed

the cow on his way home she honked
at him joyfully.
About two months after that Gus
tapher was at the state house, when
he received post card from Silas
Prowse. 1t said: II wisht If you can
you would get the State Secretary of
Agriculture to tell what is the matter
with my COW. Long about two months
ago she had her calf took away, and
cline, but some vettinary tied a sort
of business onto her foot and she
picked up again. But now the blamed
foot business don't work, and she's
peevish again and has high temper.
ature."
AS soon as the Hon. Gustapher
Plogs read that post card he put on
his hat and took the train for home,
and got into his automobile and au-
tomobiled along the road to Betzville,
and, sure enough, at the top of the
Gratz Hollow road was the COW, look
ing steadily and hopefully in his d.
rection, and as soon as she saw him
she gave whoop of Joy and started
for him, and when she reached the
automobile she stopped and held up
her foot.
Gustapher saw what was the mat
ter right away-the COW had a pune
ture in the honker bulb. He jumped
out of his automobile and got out his
repair kit and mended the puncture,
and the cow tried the honker gently
and it honked all right! Well, sir,
she went right up to Christopher and
kissed him on the left cheek. al
though she had always been a most
modest COW. But she was that CRATE
full.
When he got back to the state
house he wrote a letter to Silas
Prowse and explained all about it,
and he didn't hear any more from
the cow for quite a while. and then
ne got word from Silas 81 wisht you
would come and get your honker off
my cow" the letter said She's got
another calf, and don't need it, and
between the honker and the new calf
she's most distracted. She thinks
she's got twins"

is believed to have been another at
tempt on the life of Mrs. Isaac Carl
son of North Fork was made when a
bullet fired from ambush almost struck
her while she was sitting on the plat

made for the assailant, but he could
not be located.
Only recently an attempt was made
to blow up the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

Isaacson was arrested for this offense,
but was released today because of

Wednesday, and thinking no evil, and
at the same time Silas Prowses cow
was eating grass sadly and mourning
the recent loss of her calf, which had
become veal short time before. The
COW was about mile from Gus
tapher, but the moment she heard his
honker she pricked up her ears, and
uttered low moo of distress, and
started for Christopher on the lope.
When Christopher came over the
rise of the hill he saw the COW and
the cow saw him, and he honked to
warn the cow off his right of way,
but instead of getting out of the way
she uttered low cry of Joy and sped
toward Christopher. So he honked
again, and at that the cow fairly
laughed with happiness and broke in
to gallop straight toward Christopher.
Christopher had never seen a cow
act in just that way, and he didn't
know what to make of it, SO he
brought his car to a stop and took
hold of the bulb of his honker and
honked at the cow for all he was
worth. The COW stopped straight in
front of him and looked at the auto
mobile with puzzled air, and when
they had stood there for minute or
two she looked up at Christopher with
a wistful, pleading look in her eyes.
For quite while Christopher did not
know what the COW wanted. He
thought maybe the heat had driven
her insane, and the more so because
she got madden and madden. Then he
gave her a warning honk, and she

coat to sit all day in an automobile
honking for the pleasure of spotted
COW. So he started his car slowly
and kept up steady low honking,
and the cow trotted along at his side
like large coach dog.
But the more Gustapher thought
about it the more he felt that 1t would
not be dignified to enter town paced
by spotted COW, and as his old tea
pot of an automobile couldn't go as
fast as the cow could lope, he hardly
knew what to do about it. And right
there was where he realized that his
