LESSON IN NATURAL HISTORY
Amusing, But Somewhat Extensive
az Miss Patty Realized When
the Goat Was Through.

Miss Patty Shepard of North Thir-
teenth street went to the country with
party of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at farmhouse where
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an old goat
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at few blades
of grass. and she innocently thought
that goats were strictly vegetarians.
On the lawn in front of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat. trimmed with pretty ar
tihciai roses. which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfuily to-
ward 1t. Miss Patty laughed. The
old thing thinks they're real roses"
she laughed Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
