Blacksnake MIXED His Cow

Atlanta, June ia stolen milk
mystery was solved in the most I'M
pected manner yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. William Wier, foreman of
the Atlanta Journal composing

At his home in a suburb Mr.. Wier
INDUCES his odd moments in semi
agricultural pursuits A few days
ago, while milking one of his fine
cows, he began to notice that one of
the cows udders was always drained
dry as if some other mixer had pre-
ceeded him. At first he imagined
that some calf had broken in from
a neighboring lot, and finding this.
not the solution he suspected one of
the pigs on his own place. But he
couldn't catch the thief; so yesterday
afternoon he came home earlier
than usual, he got a book to while
away the time and went down into
the meadow to await DEVELOPMENTS
The evening passed without bringing
either calf or pig, and Mr.. Wier was
about to give it up when he noticed
that the COW seemed to be standing
against what he thought was a queer
looking bush. The closer he got
the Queerer it looked, and to his
amazement he found coiled under
the cow a big blacksnake which was
supporting itself on its own spirale
and sucking away at the cows I'D
der as complacently as any calf
The cow, instead of being terroriZed,
seemed thoroughly content.
Mr.. Wier watched the operation
for a moment and then got busy
with a big stick.

the church orchestra; the choruses
by the school led by the choir. All
were of exceptional merit. The
sunshine recitation; the primary
song and the duet by Misses Kath-
aleen Owen and Glenna Russ also
deserve special mention.
But perhaps the most effective
number on the program was a
Graduation Drill rendered by
nineteen young ladies of the school
an explanation of the work of the
Board of Education of the church;
the delivery of diplomas to the
girls representing nationalities
helped by the Board and the taking

conjunction with the drill made
this numl Ell very impressive.
Great credit is due to the par
ticlpants in the program and to
those who had it in charge. Also

pastor of the Christian church
who postponed his stereoptican
lecture that it might not interfere
with the attendance.
