It was a humble, work-a-day man of but little schooling who put up that sign over his cowbarn, but it struck the heart note of a lover of dumb animals. That poor, patient, faithful cow of big, beautiful eyes, often doing the horse's work in plowing and hauling, indifferently bedded after working all day at a plow or hauling a wagon, and in the evening a yielding her treasures of milk and cream, is surely worthy of as good treatment and care as her neighbors,'the horses, installed in the best places in the stable. To be gentle and considerate of all animals is to make a higher quality of manliness and womanliness, and to show greater consideration for those who serve us, whether in this Store or any other, will not be wititfcut reward.
