He who leaves a blunt point Is dull
and Flooding. and will never amount
to much He Is really good natured.
but finds his chief pleasures In the
commonplace things Of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an Inch
or more from the point Is high strung
and imaginative and subject to exu-
Derant flights Of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
lions OF business and art. and his

THE NORTH
CAROLINA cow
Her Marvellous Fighting
Qualities as Reported
From AsheviIle.
w ashington Post.

Washington Post.
The North Carolina COW repre-
sents a strange type in evolution.
From being a dull-eyed little
beast with crumpled horns, a
coat rough as cockleburrs and a
spirit as listless as a mullen
stalk she has developed into a
fierce creature with a taste for
human flesh. Not only that,
but. if telegraphic reports from
the Tar Heel State are to be ac-
cepted, she has cultivated her
mind and developed esthetic
ideas. She has particularly as
serted an aversioa to the piano.
Most eminent example of this
surprising renaissance in the bo-
vine nature was the Asheville
COW which recently broke her
way into the music room of one
of Asheville's homes and assault
ed the piano with such expressive
violence that she broke off her
horns in the attempt to abolish
it. Finding herself thus foiled
and disarmed in the presence of
her enemy, the poor cow gave
up the struggle and died, pre-
sumably of a broken heart.
Contemporary literature does
not record the fundamental
causes which have led to the ex-
IRENE aversion exhibited by
North Carolina cows toward
pianos. Whether it be the stolid
legs and grinning keyboards of
the instruments themselves
which give offense to the staid
dignity of the Cow or that they
have endured too long the parti-
cular brand of popular song
executed upon the piano by
North Carolina maidens, is a
question which the native psyche
scientists in cow nature have
not yet settled. But at all events
the cow of those regions has
proved herself a fierce creature
with wolfish appetite and a sin.
gularly hypersensitized intelli-
gence.
Twenty years ago the grand
mother Of these Gorgons among
the beasts of the pasture were
content to chew the cud upon
bramble' briers and pine needles.
In summer they leaned against
old fence corners and slept,
standing knee-deep amid daisies
and wiregrass. In winter they
rooted with the ''razorbacks'
for acorns and frozen corn nub-
bins. When they gave any milk
at all, one used a microscope in
skimming it and made butter out
of the cream not unlike the kind
tried out from the loins of the
razor-backs. Old North Caro-
linians used to call it cow lard.
When they were butchered one
had to boil the ribs to loosen the
meat sufficiently to cut it from
the bones. But they were kind
ly, gentle animals, without am
billions for 'self-development."
