She chewed her cud for a moment or two, then swished her tall and whisked an annoying fly off and looked about her. "I heard this story from one of the children who had been visiting at the seashore. She didn't tell It to me but she told the other children about It and I was listening. "As I said, she had been visiting at the seashore, "She told about the ocean and the swimming and the sailing. "She told about the castles which they built in the sand and of houses made of sand which the ocean came and washed away. "I thought It rather rude of the ocean but then I suppose the ocean isn't so very mannerly. Anyway she didn't seem to mind. "But she said that one day they took a drive and they drove along a road which went back a little way into the country. "At the seashore she said there were no country things at all; It was lust a little seashore place with an enormous ocean and a lot of sand as far as I could make out from her de-scription. "The ocean at times became very rough and there were some bad storms but she seemed to like It though I am sure I wouldn't, "She didn't speak of pastures or meadows or fields or streams. "The ocean, it seems, Is a great deal larger than this stream of ours near-by. I heard her say that "It made me think I wouldn't like the ocean, as I have said. Or, rather, I should say I wouldn't like to live where she went "But upon the day she went for this drive she spoke about they passed by a little house and back of the house were some hens, chickens, roosters "I Was Listening." and a goat, and in a tiny pasture back of that she saw a cow, "She said the otiier children were all very much excited. Oh yes, there were other children on the ride, too. "The other children shouted out: H'Oh, see the cowl Oh, see the cow I "Now fancy, Cow friends, living where the sight of one cow is some-thing to shout about I "Can you Imagine such a placet "She seemed surprised herself, but she said she hadn't seen cows at the seashore. "Wasn't that a very curious thing to think of a cow being such an aston-ishing sight that they bad to shout about it? "No one goes by here and shouts out: " 'See the cow P "Of course they couldn't speak of seeing just one cow as there are man)' of us here. But I can't help thinking of that strange, strange place with lots and lots of ocean and no cows. "Moo, moo, what a funny world It It when you think In touie places they don't have cows. "The world roust feel very queer In such places If I may speak in this fashion. "Moo, moo, I wouldn't want to be anywhere such as a seaside place where there was sand Instead of a meadow. "So I can understand why cows don't go there. But I don't think such a place can be very nice. "And I'll tell you another thing, Cow friends, she seemed very glad to get back to the farm again. "She liked the seashore but you, could see she liked It here best. "It all depends upon the point of view, as people say, but from my cow point of view an enormous ocean and a lot of sand doesn't make for happi-ness. "No, give me a pasture or a meadow or a field and a stream and some woods, but don't bother about your big ocean or your quantities of nmd." "Moo, moo," said the other cows, "we agree with you, Mrs. Cow. "And what an astonishing thing to think that one cow caused so much excitement to the children who went driving !' j' Uncovering Relics of Ancient Civilization Expedition from the Carnegie founilmliin making excavutlons at the Temple of One Thousund Columns, one of the remarkable relics of the Mnyns at Chlchen-Itza- , Yucatan. British Hard Times Fill Auction Rooms years ago, whose works harmonized perfectly with the old country houses are enjoying a boom in prices. The majority of them are practically un-known in America, and are not in de-mand there, yet the swiftness withv which $2,000 or $3,000 are bid for pic-tures that went begging on the paint-er's hands shows that there is yel money in England or art. Treasures From Country Homes Now on Market London. Sir Rider Haggard writes to the Times deploring that the roofs of old English country mansions are rotting and falling in because the owners cannot afford to keep them up and there is no one to buy them, and that with them disappears the old English country life of which they Vere the center. The contents of these old houses .'re pouring iato the market as they have never done before, and popular belief is that most of these valuable are bought in by London art dealers for their American customers. Even some of the old families which are known to be immensely rich, ac-cording to English values, are taking advantage of the high tide of art prices. For example, for sale soon at rtie famous Christie auction rooms is a group of old masters of world repu-tation put up by the duke of West-minster, which includes three pictures by Rubens, forming part of a series said to have been painted by order of Philip IV, to decorate a Carmelite convent; also a Virgin and Child by Vandyke. Many Other Treasures Sold Other lots offered at Christie's, which combine the value of patrician associations with art are: "Old English furniture and needle-work, the property of her grace, the duchess of Wellington," and carved oak furniture, the '"property of his grace the duke of Marlborough and removed from a farmhouse on th Blenheim estate." Also porcelains be!onging to tht Right Hon. Earl Hawe, G. C. V. O.; the Sneyd heirlooms from Keele hall, Staffordshire, which have a romantic flavor and consist mostly of old sil-ver, furniture and porcelains; a valu-able collection of pictures left by the late earl of Hardwicke; furniture be-longing to the earl of Sandwich; and a few old masters put up by the right honotable, the earl of Clarendon, P.C., G. C. B., G. C. V. O. Among the offerings at Sotheby's within the next month are valuable pictures, the property of Lady Ed-ward Grosvcnor, Sir John Hippislcy, and other articles belonging to the countess of Gosford and Cora count-ess of Strafford. Private Bargains Are Made . It is many years since any of the duke of Westminster's collection ol old masters have appeared in the auc-tion rooms, although some star picture has occasionally been sold by a pri-vate bargain, and treasures from lilen-hci-have rarely been obtainable in the lifetime of the present duke of Marlborough. The belief that nearly everything sold goes to America is not entirely' true.

PLYMOUTH ROCK IS TARGET FOR BOTTLES Ancient Landmark Chipped by Souvenir Hunters Plymouth, Mass. Some person or persons, probably the latter, has beei throwing champagne bottles at Tly-mou- th rock and they hit it, too, for there are white scars on the face of the panel which bears the date'"1620." Samuel Rice, who is the custodian of the rock, the portico over it and the surrounding premises of the common-wealth reservation, made the discov-ery. He said the gravelly beach fill around the rock which permits only the upper third of the stone to be-scc-was well covered with brokeiv glass, and he knew that six bottle had been used in the bombardment, for he picked up the bottoms and necks of that number and there might have been more, judging by the pieces of glass. Mr. Rice also says that some relic-hunt- er has stolen a sliver from the rock, and picks out what seems to he a freshly broken spot on the weather-worn surface close to which are mark as if some one had done a bit of hammering.
