Cow Secretly Adopts Fawn.

Following Jersey cow which had
developed a habit of disappearing
every morning and coming home in
the evening without her usual supply
of milk, James Wilson discovered that
the COW is raising motherless fawn.
Wilson followed the cow to the
outer edge Of his farm. He was sur.
prised to see pretty fawn come from
among the underbrush and start to
nurse at the cows side. The cow
seems we'll pleased with her charge
and the fawn shows affection for its
foster mother.-Greensbur (Pa) Dis
patch to New York American.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Retreat.

Marta remained where Westerling
had left her, rooted to the ground by
the monstrous spell of the developing
panorama of seemingly limitless move
ment. With each passing minute there
must be a hundred acts of heroism
which, if isolated in the glare of a
days news, would make the public
thrill. At the outset of the war she
had seen the Browns, as part Of pre-
conceived plan, in cohesive rear-guard
resistance, with every detail of per-
sonal bravery a utilized factor of or
ganized purpose. Now she saw de-
Tense, inchoate and fragmentary, each
part acting for itself, all deeds of per-
sonal bravery lost in swirl of disor-
ganization. That was the pity of it,
the helplessness of engineers and of
levers when the machine was broken;
the warning of it to those who under
take war lightly.
The Browns rifle flashes kept on
steadily weaving their way down the
slopes, their reserves pressing close on
the heels of the skirmishers in greedy
swarms. A heavy column of Brown in
fantry was swinging in toward the
myriadlegged, writing gray caterpil-
lar on the pass road and many field
batteries were trotting along parallel
road. Their plan developed suddenly
when swath of gun-f1re was laid
across the pass road at the mouth of
the defile, as much as to say: Here
we make gate of DEATH" At the
same time the head of the Brown in
fantry column flashed it's bayonets over
the crest of a hill toward the point
where the shells were bursting. These
men minded not the desperate, scat
tered rifle-fire into their ranks. Before
their eyes was the prize of a panic
that grew with their approach. Kinks
were out of legs stiffened by long
watches. The hot breath of pursuit
was in their nostrils, the fever of vic
tory in their blood
In the defile, the impulse of one Gray
straggler, who shook a handkerchief
aloft in fatalistic submission to the in

some READABLE VERSE
THE THANKFUL MAN
(Walt Mason in Judge)

(Walt Mason in Judge)
I'm thankful that my lot Is cast
In modern times, not in the past.
It's strange that our forefathers rude
Could know such things as gratitude;
Their lives were cold and bare and
stern, ...
And they had griefs and woes to burn.
They toiled like brothers to the OK,
And seldom saw a roll of rocks.
Yet they were more devout, by far,
Methinks, than their descendants are.
Well l recall my Uncle Joe, ..
With whom lived long years ago.
The only volume in his shack
Was some pillmaker's, almanac.
l read that thing by candle light,
On many a bowling winter night,
Till Uncle Joe would say, my lad,
This reading for your eyes is bad;
It's getting late-you'd better cease
And then you're wasting candle
grease!"
The modern, helpful telephone,
In those old days was all unknown;
And if you'd with neighbor talk,
You'd don your cowhide boots and
walk,
Perhaps a mile, and maybe ten,
And then you'd waddle nome again.
OF course there was no rural mail
And all the news you got was stale.
The weekly paper, when it came,
Had mold, like cheese, upon it's frame,
And women never heard of styles
Until they were a thousand miles
Behind the times, and then some
more;
Oh, such was life in days of yore!
No motors then made merry chugs,
But farmers drove their spawned
plugs
Along the muddy downward way;
They started young, and came home
gray.
No monographs recalled the band,
Or sprung Caruso secondhand,
Or Murray singing through his nose,
Or sad, denatured minstrel shows.
But people sat around the fire,
The toilers worthy of their hire,
And smoked until the air was blue
And told old tales that Noah knew.
All life was dull and stupid then,
But thankful were the souls of men,
For all the blessings they enjoyed
Life seemed to them no aching void.
Now we have Injuries galore,
And every day is bringing more.
The king of fifty years ago,
In all his splendor, didn't know
AS much of comfort as the jay
Who's earning now three bones day.
More solid comforts now appear
In home of clerk or auctioneer
Than good Queen Bess could ever
buy,
In those brave days long scampered
r by.
So let us, as we carve the fowl,
The turkey, peacock, goose or owl,
Be thankful for the good we know
The things undreamed of long ago.
