Spillgath did the best he could for

wanted the spin-wheels in the top oi

the tree and watching the fireworks
simultaneously. This really aggravat-

one of the kindest hearted of men,
and he said that as Aunt Rhinocolura
had ceased her contributions it was
evident to him that this was the kind
of COW that would never be happy
anywhere but in Heaven. The butch
er gave him twenty-eight dollars for
the COW. OF course Aunt Rhinocolura
did not get any of the twenty-eight
dollars, for she was merely con.

bill for damage to his apple tree was
only twenty-eight dollars.

In Sammy Small's neighborhood
there lived family of boys who were

tree and lit on its head. 1t bawled
about that for an hour, and then 1t
got up and turned around and put Its
fore feet on the tree trunk and bawled
to be up In the tree again. So Mr..
Spillgath gave 1t another boost, and 1t
scrambled up into the crotch and
bleated once joyfully. and fell out of
the tree on the other side.
For a week the Reverend Spillgath
spent all his time boosting the calf
into the tree and seeing 1t fall out
again, but at the end of that time the
calf was able to lie in the crotch of
the tree with its hind legs hanging
down one side Of the tree and its fore
legs hanging down the other. and it
should have been happy. but it wasn't.
AS soon as it was able to remain in
the crotch 1t began looking toward
the upper branches and bawling to
be up in them. But as soon as the
Reverend Spillgath gave 1t boost 1t
fell through the crotch onto its head.
1t was a sad case of misapplied devo-
tion to an ideal, and Reverend Spill
gath went over to Aunt Rhinocolura's 8
and got another contribution out Of
her for the improvement of the condi-
ton of tree-climbing calves.
Oddly enough the cash contribu
tiops of Aunt Rhinocolura did not
seem to improve the calf in the way
of climbing 1t remained a mighty
poor tree climber, and no explanations
of the art made by Mr.. Spillgath
helped the calf much. Mr.. Spslgath
would explain to the calf how to climb
the tree. and then he would follow pre-
cept with example, and would climb
the tree himself, and the calf would
look on eagerly, and fairly pant to do
1t herself, and then Mr.. Spillgath
would give the calf boost and it
would paw at the tree with its legs
and go plunk! through the crotch on
to its head. 1t was melancholy calf.
When 1t was not bawling to be boost
ed into the tree it was bawling be-
cause 1t had alighted on its head. In
n few weeks 1t wore out that tree, and
Mr.. Spillgath had to do his best to
boost it into the big elm, and that was
pretty hard work. for the crotch of the
elm was about IL feet up. He was

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, OF
which Aunt Rhinocolura Betz is the
other member. but there are some an
imals 1t is mighty hard to please.
About. year ago Mr.. Spillgath
heard calf bawling in Orone Nc

that Mr.. Spillgath's heart was touched.
and he went In and upbraided Orone.

wasn't going to spend all his time try

to climb trees. So the Reverend Spill

his language. and took the calf home.
In less than year he wished he
hadn't.
AS soon as he had the calf home he
turned 1t loose in the back yard and
went over to Aunt Rhinocolura's to
secure a donation for the purpose OF
improving the happiness Of the calf,
but when he reached home again the
calf was sadder than ever 1t was
standing before an apple tree with its
front feet on the trunk, looking up
into the boughs and bawling piteously.
1t was evident that the calf wanted to
climb the tree. and Mr.. Spillgath is
kind hearted. SO he gave the calf a
boost and 1t scrambled into the crotch
of the tree. AS soon as 1t was up 1t
