DEER COME TO HER DOOR.
Mrs R. E Greek, Who Lives Close
to Town, and Her Pets
Editor Avant Courier:

! e by your paper that there has
been a mountain sheep caught near
the lime kiln. Likely you are not
aware that deer come down TO my
door. Last week I was standing near
my granary with my two children,
talking to Nh. Alexander as to which
course to take to the Hill ranch, when
a frightened deer came to within 20
feet Of me and trotteds up and down
the space Of about 100 feet seeming
~ not being afraid Of as.
Soon 1t disappeared behind the ice
house. Cecil ran to see what had
become Of il, when the deer gave a
leap mp the bank and almost ran into
the childs arms. The child's tracks
and the deers were not more than
tive feet apart. This was the only
scare the deer seemed Co get, when
It turned and trotted leisurelv away.
There are three deer in the band, and
I hope it win be made a grave Of
tense for anyone to shoot cr harm
tnem. They have been seen three 81
number for eight years, but they of.
ten come between the house and ths
barn, and their tracks are often seer
crossing .Bridger near the house.
Last spring there were four, bu.
someone shot and crippled one O.
them. The last Of May It must hav-
died, Tor i passed through my mea
dow and was not seen any more Will

Breakfast was announced one

ticed that Becky Scott, the waiting
maid, who was ordinarily very

After the meal was finished, and
the rest of the family had gone their

emily deep distress. At first Becky

CITY MAN .ANALYzEs A COW
Contributed

We are strong for cows. We have
observed the cow from many angles,
and We have seen a lot of good
points IN her. But here is the way
city editor looks at the COW. Max
Ing this popular farm animal the
subject of an editorial, the Baltimore
Sun has this to say about Madam
Cow:
"The COW is a female quadruped
with an alto voice and a countenance
IN which there is no guile. She col
iaborates with the pump in the pro-
duction Of liquid called milk, pro-
vides the filler for hash. and at last
Is skinned by those she has benefited,
as mortals commonly are.
THE young cow is called a calf,
ana is used in the manufacture of
chicken salad.
The cows tail is mounted aft and
has universal join. It is used to
disturb marauding flies, and the tas-S
sci on the end has unique education
al value. Persons who milk cows
and come often. in contact with the
tassel have vocabularies of peculiar
and impressive force.
The cow has two stomachs The
one on the ground floor Is used as
q warehouse and has no other func-
ton. When this one is filled the
cow retires to quiet place where
her Ill manners will occasion no COM
ment and uevotes herself to belch-
Ing. The raw material thus con-
veyed for the second time to the in
terror of her face is pulverized and
delivered to the auxiliary stomach,
where 1t Is converted into COW.
THE COW has no upper plate. All
OF her teeth are parked in the lower
part Of her face. This arrangement
was perfected by an efficiency ex-
pert to keep her from cumming
things up. AS a result she bites up
and gums down.
THE male COW is called a bull and
Is lassoed along the Colorado, fought
south of the Rio Grande and shot
in the vicinity of the Potomac.
"A slice of cow is worth eight
cents in the COW, IA cents in the
hands OF the packers and $40 in
a restaurant that specializes in at
mosphere"

The MaddeSt One

A passenger took the train at
Lyons, entered a sleeper, and tipped
the guard literally to put him out
Of the train at Dion:
I'm a very heavy sleeper" he
said, land you must take no notice
of my protests. Seize me and put
me out on the platform"
He slept. He awoke as the train
steamed into Paris. In ajraging fury
he went to the guard and expressed
some emphatic opinions in q varied
vocabulary.
"Ah," said the guard calmly, you
have a bit of a temper, but it's moth
ing compared with the chap l put
out of the train at Dijon."- lie Rire
