"When I was young and used to roam about the country, gathering watermelons by the light of the moon, I used to think I could milk anybody's cow; but I don't think so now. I do not milk the cow unless the sign is right, and It hasn't been right for a good many years. The last cow 1 tried to milk was a common cow, born in obscurity, kind of a self-made cow. I remember how her brow was low, but she wore her tail high; and she was haughty, oh, so haughty. I made a commonplace remark to her, one that is ueed in the very best society, one that need not give offence. ' I said so' and she 'soad.' Then I told her to 'Hist' and she 'Hiated.'
