The Right Cow Side.
A city newspaper artist drew the picture of a milk man diligently engaged in milking a cow A country editor protested on the grounds that no highly respectable cow would permit a man to expurgate the lacteal fluid while sitting at the wrong side of the ■cow. “You are entirely mistaken.” replied the artist, "for had I not known that the cow would not kick, I should have never placed the man on the wrons side of the bovine, in fact, my cows never kick, my dogs never growl, my horses never run away, my portraits never speak. Thank God for that!” Some of the portraits of deceased notables always awaken the thought of the boyhood axiom, " ’Taln’t no fair to strike a man when he’s down."
