New Cow in Hall
Of Fame; Ate $50
Worth of Dynamite

Washington, Dec. i9.-The COW
that burned up Chicago, the COW that
Jumped over the moon, the cow that
raised the fatted calf, and the COW
that died on one tune-they will have
to recognize an addition to their cee-
brated quartet now.
She's the COW that ate up $50 worth
of government dynamite out in Will
lard, Wash, and made the wheels of
congress 90 around until her owner
got $50.
The house paused In its considera-
ton of weightier subjects long enough
today to pass the necessary bill.
Contributory negligence in part of
government road builders who left the
sticks of dynamite where bossy could
eat them, was the verdict.
Strangely enough, il didn't blow Up
the COW; it only poisoned her, but it
nearly. blew up the house of repre-
sentatiyes.
