THE FRIENDLY MOVE.
Some weeks ago, a dairyman residing in the suburbs missed a cow, and instituted a search for the animal. In pursuit of his inquires he called one day upon a near neighbour — a brightoru shining light. It was just in the nick of time. The neighbour was in the act of milking the missing cow. Asked to solve the mystery, he declared solemnly that he was merely taking the? milk as an act of kindness — to the cow, of course. But the owner of the animal was not to be outdone in kindness ; in fact, he had more of the milk of human kindness than his neighbour. He said his friend had been too condemnationally generous altogether, and, just to square matters, he would ask him to pay for the systematic milkings to which the cow had been subjected. The Brighton shining light forked out five shillings (which, he had. beea keeping for the next Sabbath collection), and there was peace between them twain.
