beast always stood In her stall with
her tail toward the south where the
manger was her head toward the
north He tried various means OF
making the cow stand the other way,
her head to the south and her tail to
the north. bu. TO matter how many
times he set her properly in her stall
she always turned around. Finally
there was nothing to do but rebuild
the stall to eIit the COW. Somewhat
later war came and the poo tiller OF
the soil had to join his regiment and

wife and children, reduced TO dire pov.

sold her meat at famine prices to his

however, the mystery of the animals S

\. B. HARTS
MAY run FOR
MAYOR Of CITY
WELL KNOWN AND POPULAR
YOUNG ATTORNEY HAS BEEN
APPROACHED AND HAS THE
MATTER UNDER AMUSEMENT.

Wen. it begins to look like more
candidates for the office of mayor. The
lates one whom old Dame Rumor
has set aflcat, is attorney Harry b.
Harts, who has been approached by
some OF the best democrats of the city
and asked if he would consent to run.
This may be a surprise to some, be-
cause it has been generally accepted
that Harts was a republican and as
he has never been actively enough en-
gagged in politics to give people line
on him, he has let it 20 at that. One
thing most people do know, however
and that is the fact that he graduated
ut Princeton under Woodrow Wilson
and was the most ardent Wilson fan
in the city during the convention and
campaign following, and was one of
the first to wire congratulations to his
old preceptor when the ballots pro-
claimed the president elected.
Mr. Harts has said nothing about
his intentions. He is well qualified for
the job and, should he consent to make
the race and be elected, he would
make the city competent official.
