What a Cow!

An elderly and well-known gentleman of Boston, who, while he likes to sit at the con viral board, will not touch anything spirituous, devoting all his attention to the lacteal fluid, was invited out one night by a party of choioe spirits. A huge milk punch had, however, been prepared for him, and when he was asked what beverage he would prefer his reply was as usual: “Well, I guess I’ll take a little milk. ” The punch was brought and all eyes turned toward him to note the effect, liaising the glass he took a sip and then another; at the third, however, he drained the tumbler, smacked his lips and, looking lovingly at the empty glass, observed: “Great Cscsar! what a cow!" — Boston Post.
