There probably isn't a woman in North America who isn't afraid of cows, and there is not a cow in North America which would harm one hair of any wo man's head if it had the least chance in the world and no other job on hand. Wednesday fore noon a stray cow, perhaps from Ami rif rir frT 'A. Tfi.sfA nf Vmlprl Jiay, found a gate open and en tered a yard on Second street. The woman came to the door (iresseu iu o uui, uui sutuug ilt cow she utteed a scream , and hurried back. There wasn't a thing in the yard for the cow to damage or eat, and being tired ;she raised her cud, lay down and began to chew away as if she had just got home from a long visit to Europe. The woman next ap peared at a side window, and called upon the cow to "git out." " hnf fb cow didn't. Then the woman threw a rag at the cow and call ed for the dog. The dog didn't come, and the rag didn't scare. Then the woman shook a pillow - at the cow, and peremptorily or dered her off the premises, but the bovine half closed her eyes and let her thoughts run ahead toflv time. .' As the cow didn't go and as the woman couldn't go till the cow did, sterner 'measures were resorted to. A tin pan was held out of the window and beaten -. with a spoon, but the cow could not be fooled into believing that tne ourtu oi duly naa come. Then the woman went into the back yard to throw clubs over the fence and knock a couple of horns off. The first one hit the window, sand tliQ next one bang ed the blinds on the next house, than ever. Cries of git out!" were again resorted to without effect, and then the wJoman watch ved at the front door till sh saw a boy coming along and sue opened it and cried out: "Oh! boy! there's a V terrible cow in our y ard! Prop the gates open and get all the boys and "police you can and drive her out, and I'll give you a whole quarter of a dollar! Hurry up, for she looks as if .she was getting ready to come right in here!" .-' The boy "humped" the dan gerous animal out in thirty sec onds, received his pay, and the woman gave up going tiown town for fear she might have a "nervous spell."
