"Moo, moo," said Mrs. Cow, "I think
I have an idea."
"Why, Mrs. Cow, why, Mrs. Cow."
said Miss Browu Cow, "don't he saying
such things unless you're sure you're

"Moo," said Mrs. Cow, "I don't know
whether the Idea Is a good one or not,
but nt least, I have an idea."
"Well, well, moo, moo," said Miss
Drown Cow, "that's pretty good.
"When did you think It up? It has
seemed to me that all this time I've
been sitting here and day-dreaming
and having a comfortable, restful
chew, you have been nsleep."
"I was asleep a good deal of the
time, but I've been having this idea
a little at a time for several days now.
In that way one does not get tired out
with too much thinking, and at the
same time, one gets ideas slowly.
"You see I have a little bit of an
idea. It hardly amounts to anything.
Well, Instead of getting all tired out
trying to make It amount to something
and to work over It, I just stop and
say to myself:
" 'Mrs. Cow, rest my dear. It will
come to you in time. Don't worry,
my dear.'
"And then I take my own advice.
After all, that Is always such good ad
vice to take.
"Then I am sure 1 will be pleased.

to myself what good advice It la to
take.
"But to get back to the way I have
of getting an Idea.
"Several days ago, It was around
milking time. Morning milking time.
"I was coming slowly down toward
the pasture, stopping to nod at n
flower here, and smile at a long blade
of grass there.
"The rest of yon were all around.
The dog was nearby. The farmer's
son was, too. Bat I paid little atten
tion to anything In particular.
"I came along and I thought to my
self a little bit of the flowers that
were In the fields, the pretty wild
flowers.
"Well, that was about as much of an
idea as I had at that time.
"Then another time, a little later, I
was thinking, ami I got as far as
thinking that the flowers in yie fields
were prettier than any of the flow
ers I saw on hats. ' r
"That was as much as I thought of
at that time.
"Then a little later I thought to my
self that a wild-flower hat shop would
be wonderful. .
"There could be mushroom-shape
hats and all sorts of different shapes
we could copy that we see around.
"Then we could gather the flowers
with our ever-moving mouths, and we
could fix up the hats as we lie about
under the trees In the mornings and
the afternoons.
We could meet at different parts
of the meadow and pasture and have
hat-making clubs.
"Then I could open a shop with all
the hats around. I thought thut part
of the pasture where there are the
trees with the low branches would be
a good place.
"We could hang the hats on the
branches and show them off that way.
"And I'd be the shop keeper, and
after the business got started I would
Just bow and smile and moo at my
customers while the others the ones
who would be my assistants would

a few fellows who think any occa
sion is merely bunk if they must
leave off that which simply makes a
very poor fool of them. The best
way to make Christmas a pleasant
time for all is to begin now to do
away with that which causes so much
trouble not only at Christmas but
through all the year and to make it
hard far. those who "delight in dispens
ing it.' ,-
: Rev. 3ohn C. Bennett, pastor of the
M. E. Church here is, we think, form
ing a new and better' opinion of our
citizens. He preached a very fine
sermon Christmas Day to a full
house. There were also large crowds
attending the services Sunday morn
ing and night. Several' had to leave
at.ihe night services as there were
no1 vacant seats, 'fte has stated sev
eral times that before he came he
ws told that Harkers Island was a
bad place and that the people were
very hard to get along with. But
since he cane here he has found the Rev. H. L. Davis filled his regular
people as fine as any he has ever appointment here Sunday afternoon,
come in contact with. There is no
doubt of that. We thoroughly agree
with him. Those who may wish to
come are cordially invited to come
whenever you may to the services at
the M. E. Church at Harkeis Island.
There were a few accidents on
the road Sunday, no wonder, there
are about twenty cars here and only
five miles of road. A quarter of a
mile toeach car. And it somd times
happens that they all meet, and at
such times there is a bad mix up, and
if no accidents occur it is amiracle.
We are still waiting for something
to occur that will have a tendency
toward linking us with the main land
from which many years ago we broke
away.
The Harkers Island news boy was
glad to find that in the final count
he had won third prize in the number
of sales of the News.
