LOVE’S YOUNG DREAM.
They were strolling down Third street bathed in such glorious moonlight as is known only to Minnesota and Italy. His arm was, twined lovingly around her waist, and her arm was twined caressingly around his waist, and the waist places were made glad. He was telling her he could buy a lop-eared mule for 27d01., and she was tenderly describing a secondhand cook stove she could get for 3d01., and a cow reclined directly in their path. Neither of them saw that cow, and in the sweet forgetfulness of love they meandered peacefully over it; and, as the cow took the floor, a pair of number nine boots and a pair of number two button gaiters hung for a moment in suggestive proximity over that cow’s back, There are moments when soul melts in soul, too holy and too blissful to be rudely disturbed by any third presence, and we left that loving pair to bright dreams of the future, and silently stole away. So did the cow. * Stillwater Lumberman.’
