The county poor farm hai, according to the assertion of the Inmates, the cleverest cow in the state, aari the New York World correspondent at Portland, Ore. The animal la an old red Jersey that has been on the farm for years.

The matron at the farm last summer discovered that the faucet on the hydrant In the back yard was frequently turned on, but constant watching failed to disclose the-miscreant. The same trouble occurred again this summer. The matron noticed the water was turned on about the same time every afternoon. While she was watching she saw the old red Jersey come leisurely up the road. Into the back yard and walk straight up to the hydrant.

The cow pushed the faucet with her nose, but It did not seem to work. So she tried her horns, and when that method failed, opened her mouth, took held of the faucet aad turned it. Miss Bossy then drank her til of cold water and turned away toward the green fields, evidently pleased that she did not have to go a quarter of a mile to the river to satisfy her thirst. The next day the eow seemed much puzzled to find a new faucet and ap peared dejected when, after half an hour of hard work, sh could not get her drink. Then the matron had a watering place made and the cold water was allowed to run at all times.

HAVE FOUND SCOTT'S CAMP. Diary Shows Immense 8uma Have Been Taken From It. Walter Scott's camp has been dis covered by a party of prespectors about 12 miles south of Willow creek. There are two caves not far apart, reached by a precipitous ascent of 200 feet from the bottom of the canyon. The most convincing evidence of Scott's recent occupancy was his diary.

This, in Scott's own handwriting and picturesque English, re cords his going and with en tries of the fabulous findings he made there. They read like this: "April 7 Took out $117,000 in gold to-day; sent away for $500 worth of whisky and ceegars." "August 9 Got $50,000 out; whisky and ceegars ordered." Rhyollte, Cor. N. T. Herald.

Sargent's Blind Pupils. Mr. J. S. Sargent tells of as artist in Paris who had much difficulty in getting his pupils to make use of the extremely "impressionistic ideas" of art.

One evening, at a large dinner par ty, he asked an elderly gentleman next to him, who was very shortsight ed, how the gentleman at the foot of the table appeared to him. "Well," replied the nearsighted one, "I see a very white spot, which I take to he his shirt front, and a flesh-colored spot, which I know to be his face." exclaimed the artist, enthusiastically, "how I wish my pupils could see things as you do!" Searchlight. Bore Had But of It John Philip Sousa was talking about musical bores. "I must confess," he said, "that a musical bore once got the better of me. It was at a Wagner opera, and the bore sat on my left.

He had a book of the acere open on his knee, and he hummed every passage every single passage. My patience was at last exhausted. I turned to the man and said: "I beg your pardon, but I didn't pay, you know, to hear you sing." said be, 'you have all that into the bargain, Looking Forward. Shakespeare was reading "Macbeth" to a friend and had just finished the lines: "Lay on, Macduff! And damned be he who first cries 'Hold! "But why do you work In that pro fanity?" asks the friend. "Why," Shakespeare explains, with a patient consideration of the other's lack of prophetic Insight, "the day is coming when the only way to get a laugh from the audience will be to have one of the characters swear, and surely I want this play to have a few comedy touches in It" Life.

The First Baptist Church Sunday school held its annual picnic the oth.es. day at Brookslde Park, saye the York Gazette. A baseball game was broken up by a number of bumblebees, which attacked the players so fiercely ta to leave fond remembrances. A nest located in the vicinity of shortstop was not discovered until late In the game, and then one of the play ers molested the bees, with the result that three of the players were stung.
