Mr.. A. j. Louvlere lost q very
fine young cow the latter part of
last week under circumstances a
bit more than strikingly peculiar.
The COW seemed to be in perfect
health at night the day before and
ate her feed with her usual relish
The next morning she lay dead IN
her stall. The COW was a splen.
did animal and Mr.. Louviere val.
ued her at 800. He is unable to
account for the animals death,
unless it be from eating too freely
of young clover. In speaking of
the happening, he referred to a
similar loss which came to him a
couple of years before, when he
lost a very fine COW, which was
apparently well the night before.
Both of the losses came to him In
the month Of April-a mere coin
cident, of course. 1t was bit
more than strinkiDgly peculiar,
especially when it Is recalled that
the sudden death of his sister and
his mother occurred In the month
of April, year apart.

MARTIAL SPIRIT

The school children's parade, on
Tuesday, was a splendid patriotic
display. The procession was a
little over three blocks long in
close order. The children carried
the national colors, and from the
exuberaDce of their patriotic
spirit these flags were kept in mo
ton. A perspective or panoramic
view of the parade gave one a
beautiful tableau, the iluttering
flags above the heads of the chill
dren was strongly suggestive of
an army OF butterflies above a
flower garden.
At night there was mass
meeting held at the Court House
where patriotic addresses by able
speakers were delivered. National
airs were played by the band and
the red blood of Americans thrill
ed with patriotic enthusiasm.
1t was one of the largest meet
lngs held in some time and as
some one in speaking Of the i'm
mense crowd said: "The world and
his wife was there"

green's, carrying out artistic taste
and woven into appropriate de
signs.
After the conclusion of the
services the knights Templars
