Show COW COMMITS SUICIDE Ira" Worcester, proprietor of the Saco house, is telling his guests about the suicide of his oov. The animal was a valuable thoroughbred, and for a few weeks had been the proud mamma of a spry little thoroughbred bossy. The calf was taken away from her six days ago,- and she had been Inconsolabje. Her big brewn eyes had been pathetic, and actual tears had furrowed a little channel down the rough hairy hide of her high-bred face. On the first night after the loss of her cr!f p'le 1u-nie' tlve-rqil . escaping-.from tbe pasture to wander mujiiiu.g Uoout uie et.rt.ei8. Iotving uis-IracteJly uis-IracteJly and complaining to the winds of heaven. They responded not, and one night she again escaped. This time she started toward the business center, evidently Intending to visit the markets to fjnd a possible clue to her baby. When the 8 o'clock electric car from Portland bowled into sight she seemed to recognize In it a special providential means of escape from her grief. She waited so far to one side of the track that the motorman considered con-sidered her out of danger. But as the car came opposite her she gave a sudden sud-den m3lanchoIy "moo," and leaped directly di-rectly in front of the car. The rounded end of the car struck her, and she went down In a tumbled heap. Examination showed her to be so badly hurt that It was necessary to kill her at once. |
