Cow Took Possession Of Their House

three loaves OF bread left by the
bakers boy. She succeeded in get
ting the kitchen door open, where she
devoured all but the graniteware part
Of three-pound crock of butter.
Her appetite still unappeased, she
also ate the fancy paper OF the
shelves. and in SO doing pulled down
all the tinware and scattered 1t about
the floor. She could not work the
combination on the icebox, SO moved
on through the dining room into the
sitting room. Mr. Blank had the day
before purchased four new shirts at
$3.50 each, and these had been set
home and left lying in bundle on the
couch. She considered" these, ate
all but a few fragments. and went on
her way. She wrecked chairs, and
even a bed, and upset the contents Of
tables by pulling at and eating the
covers.
When the family came back, late
that evening, an affectionate moo" Of
welcome greeted them from the COW,
her head thrust through the parlor
window. Mr.. Blank said 1t took ten
men and derrick to get that COW out
of the house. and the cost OF repair.
