The peaceful Sabbath morning serenity of a respectable Mount -Eden household was recently rather suddenly interrupted by the ingrained curiosity of a large cow with exploring tendencies (the Auckland Star says). The gate was open, so was the front door, and, alas! the best bedroom door, and her bovine presence bolted through the gate, hesitated upon the threshold, and then, throwing to the winds that discretion which is not always the better part of valour, strode valiantly into the best bedroom. En passant her Hank touched a stand, and an ornate set of crockery tumbled down in ruins. With a crash of the falling utensils the intruder leapt on to the bed, and her four muddied' hoofs left a. complicated brown pattern on the snow-white counterpane. The beast next peered into a wardrobe, and with an inquisitive nose she sadly disarranged an assortment of garments. Eventually she was driven away, but paid another visit to the premises ten minutes later. This time she flung herself over the gardens and round to the. back yard, eventually running into the basement. An eye witness of the cow’s' peregrinations has been heard io remark that the truihle causid by 9 (ho surprise visit is not yet ended.
Irritation in the throat, stuffiness in the head banished by “Narol". Instant relief. Get a Nazol Inhaler. — Advt.
