For a long time no one knew justwhat was the matter with the cowsThey went reeling across the fields likea lot of dninkea soldiers rolling theireyes and every in awhile Rivingvent to the njott hideous howlsthey got tired they either leaned agaiqstone another or against the fences andthat was the way the men found themwhen they screwed up enough courageto go out in the field and investigate-

A hurry call was sent to Binghamton-for a veterinary because there was suchunmistakable signs of suffering on thepart of the cows that the men thoughtthey were poisoned When the veterinary took a look at the cows he was

oneshen

puzzled were giassyeyea armtired Those that bad fallen asleep eresleping so soundly that they couldnt bewaked up even with a pitchfork Twolocal veterinaries were called in to as-

sist the man from Binghamton and thethree sat up with the cows all night-long

The next morning the cows appeared-to be all right True most of themlooked a trifle ashamed but on thewhole they seemed in fair shape andquite ready to go back to eatingand making milk It wasnt until thecows were turned out for their morningdrink and almost dried up the creek Inth field that the veterinaries got aninkling of what had been the matter

Well I swan said the nan fromBinghamton I do believe them therecows was drunk last night What didyer give them to eat

They couldnt be drunk Doc saidthe boss keeper cuz there aint anythin in this here stock farm tor mikeman nor beast durnk All them cowshas had out of the usual feed thisis a wagon load of apples that wasdumped in the field on Sunday

Well Im clear dinged saH theBinghamton man I tell Ion athing like this happenln once afore hutI never see it myself Say dyer knowwhat was the matter of them cowsWell they was drunk from the ipplcs

Now see here Them cows has twostomachs and when you gave cm thornapples they just loaded up the secondstomach where they store things likeall ruminants does with applee Theykept them there till they fermented andthen they all got drunk Thats justwhat was the matter of them cows

The locic of this explanation appealedto the local veterinaries and theyas to the cause of the jag Undoubtedlythis explanation is the cprrect one asthe cows have been all right ever since

PHILANTHROPIC WORK

Finding eligible husbands for old maidsand exercising general supervision overmatchmaking with a farseeisg kindlyeye is a novel form of philanthropywhich would not appeal to many per-sons because of the wide range of dis-astrous possibilities it involves Yetthere is a woman in New York who iswelltodo and who finds herself withpJeaty of time on her who tie

crank Furthermore she resents Uteinference that she possesses aa Inordinate passion for matchmaking

Many years age she says in ex-plaining her unique philanthropy Iwas deeply impressed by a psychologicalstudy of a convincing type Which Icame across while reading a novel Ifound in this book an impressive description of the sense of abject lone-liness that bore down a poor unmarriedwoman and I was fascinated by thedepressing situation for at that time Iwas engaged to marry the man Iand could look ahead intoture and see much happiness in storefor me I easily imsgined myself Inthat girls and the picturehaunted me that I atonce became Intensely interested in thegeneral subject of old maids That iswhy I have devoted so much of my timeto the rather hazardous work if it

Beauties Fail to Find HusbandsThis energetic woman has not content

ed herself merely with making matchesbut has gone deeper Into the subject ofmarriage and bas studied it from thepoint of view of the psychologist In thefirst place she has discovered withmany others that there are a thousandand one reasons why some girls remainunmarried and what is even more sur-prising she Is convinced that plainlooks are by no means the most frequent cause This is shown by thenumber of old maids who possessmight really be termed pretty attrac-tive faces and graceful wellroundedfigures

One woman for whom I have beento find a husband was by tar theprettiest of my acquaintances the

She did not look to be more than tentyfive although she frequently admittedto me that she was past forty Herswas an unusually sad case In spite ofher good looks men never lost an oppor-tunity to shun her and after studyingher I learned that this was due to acertain effect of melancholy pride andniyatery which her face and manner pro-duced When I first met this womanshe excited my curiosity and afterfutile attempts I finally discovered thatshe had once been in love

Couldnt Make Up HerAnd the remarkable the

case was that her love was returned infull measure But she belonged to thatrather numerous type of women whoare doubters of themselves and shecould not make up her mind whether sheloved the young man enough to marry

She constantly questioned theof her affestions and the result of

persistent burrowing was that shenew evidence all the time

If you will examine closely you willfind on every tombstone in this yardsome tender words Here lies the beloved wife there At rest in the bosomof God over yonder Fell asleep in Jesus again In loving remembrance ofa devoted wife just beyond In theblessed hope of a glorious immortality

There Is a tribute to of thedead In this yard You aroundthe corner a monument erected To thememory of a beloved aunt You see itmade no difference a long time ago whathe kinship was AH these stones are
