PROUD COWS.

People may say what they like about cows, moo, moO," said Mrs. Cow.
 Why may they?" asked Miss Cow. Moo, moo, why may they?"
 Il only stopped to take a little chew" said Mrs. Cow. "I wasn't through talking at all."
 "Then continue, moo, moo," said Miss Cow
 "I'n begin all over again." said Mrs. Cow.
 Very well, moo, moo" said Miss Cow, "but don't stop where you did before. Wait until you get through, to chew"
 If can wait that long" said Mrs. Cow, q will do so. But at any rate, I will not stop at the same place In my conversation as I did before.
 People may say what they like about cows, moo, moo, but at any rate they cannot but say" And Mrs. Cow began to chew again.
 Well, moo, moo, you got a little further along In your story that time," said Miss Cow, "but I'd like to hear more. Don't go back to the beginning again, but start where you left off,"
 Cant do that" said Mrs. Cow, but I will not chew until I finish this time. Or at any rate, I will not chew so hard that have to stop talking.
 II will keep on chewing and talking, and that will be pleasant"
 of course," said Miss Cow, i've heard the children say that 1t wasn't 1 fn foll x-ff ft1I And your mouth is pretty full of grass now"
 "I1l swallow some of it," said Mrs. Cow, land then talk with my mouth half-full."
 Il don't believe that is considered very polite either" said Miss Cow
 Don't be too fussy," said Mrs. Cow. Remember, my dear, I am only a cow"
 "Only COW, 1t Is true," said Miss Cow. Moo, moo only a COW, it is true"
 T will tell my story right through this time," said Mrs. Cow, "and if I i talk with some grass in my mouth and chew while I'm talking at times, you must remember I'm only a cow, and l that you would do the same"
 "I'll remember" said Miss Cow. Moo, moo, I'll remember"
 Well" said Mrs. Cow, "to begin at the beginning once more"
 "Oh, dear" said Miss Cow, 'T do wish we could get on faster with the story"
 You mustn't say, oh, Deer to me-" said Mrs. Cow. "YOu must say,

SmuuuIers in Clover.

Smuggling over the Dutch and Dan- ish frontiers, which the German gov ernment had gone to great efforts to suppress, again is fiourishing lon a colossal scale," and at some points with the full knowledge and connivance of many government officials, according to reports.
 Smugglers are declared to be out bidding the government for the aid of dishonest officials, and the "veritabIe army of customs officers on the bor- der have permitted millions of marks worth of tobacco, cigarettes, coffee and sugar to cross the border duty free within the last few months"
 Flying squadrons of customs officers have been organized by the govern ment ito catch the smugglers," who are said 10 have so thoroughly system ati2ed their operations that "customs receipts are rapidly falling back to nothing, for custom control Is again only on paper"

"When He Wasn't Lookino."

Oh, Cow For Pm not a deer; I'm a cow"
 T didn't mean that kind of deer" said Miss Cow. "I meant, oh, dear, as an expression. It is spelled diff. ferently from the way the animals name Is spelled"
 "Ol, all right" said Mrs. Cow.
 ''"ell," she began again, after an- other pause during which she chewed Very hard, people may say what they like about cows, moo, moo, but at any rate they cannot bNt say that we are "lWaEs among works of art. There, I finished that time"
 But l don't know what you mean," said Miss Cow
 Il mean," said Mrs. Cow, "that no one can go to an art gallery in which somewhere or other there aren't some paintings of cows.
 Yes, we're considered works of art We're considered beautiful enough to paint. I've heard that at any picture gallery any of the people here have ever visited they have always seen some paintings of COWS.
 That shows we're beautiful, for we have our pictures painted and are con- sidered fine enough to be hung in art galleries"
 Miss Cow shivered and her big eyes looked frightened.
 "Oh, l don't mean we are hung In the art galleries, but the paintings of us are.
 i've seen an artist painting our meadow here, and looked at his pie tHre when he wasn't looking, and I saw picture of myself therei
 Perhaps he was too tired to paint anything any more exciting than COW, but at any rate we had our pie lures painted, and so no matter what people say about our dullness, at least we are works of art"

Biblical Truths Revealed,

Work by archeologIsts has thrown a great flood of light and rich under. standing on the Bible.
 This point was emphasized by Jo- siah Penniman, acting provost of the University of Pennsylvania, in a re, cent address on the literary back. ground of the Bible.
 "Their discoveries of records do not confirm the Bible," he said, "for it needs no confirming, but they give us a clearer understanding of the Bible."
 The story of the prodigal son was cited by Doctor Penniman as one example. When 1t is known that the laws at that time made it possible TOT a young man to ask for and re- ce1ve his inheritance, and to go "in. to far country" the story is more clearly understood.
 Records have been unearthed which show that the selling of Joseph to the caravan of merchants bound for Egypt was one of many similar trans actions that happened along this road
 The greatest literary background of the New Testament is the Old Testa- ment, said the speaker, but there are number of books, among them the "W1sdOm of SOlOmOn'' and the "Last Days of David" which throw a pro- found light on the parables and incl dents recorded in the New Testament.

SECTIONS BY WOMEN
FOR CHINESE DRIVE

Districts and on Friday and Satur-
day VIII Sell Chinese Relief
Fund Stamps.

The officers and members of the Mis-
sionary Societies of the various local
churches have divided Maysville into
districts and each society has become
responsible for canvassing the homes
in separate district on next Friday
and Saturday, which days have been
selected by them for canvass to sell
stamps for the relief of the starving in
China.
Already Maysyille and Mason county

but the contribution has been a very
small one and the women of the
churches are hoping to be enabled to
considerably increase that fund by
what they are enabled to raise through
the sale OF these relief stamps this
week.
The stamps are sold for three cents
each and there is not person in
Maysville who cannot afford to buy a
few of the stamps. Each stamp pur-
chased represents the saving Of one
life for one whole day and one could
not do more noble thing than to as
sist in keeping the starving thousands
in China alive until their harvest
which Is counted on to relieve the ter
rible conditions now prevailing in that
famine stricken land of North China.
Besides the house-to-house canvass
to be made by the church women,
there will be stamps offered for sale
in the local stores and banks on next
Saturday. Committees of young ladies
will be stationed at all of the centrally
located places of business to offer
these stamps for sale and they will
be sold in any quantity,
