smith prop find cow had th false teeth plato given up as lost aftpr most intensive search turns up in mouth of cow some days later mr alex weber residing on the farm southwest of walkerton and who lost his left hand in a thresh ing accident a few years ago was the victim of another threshing incident that occurred on his farm a few weeks ago that was most aunoying at the time but which has since turned out so amusing that his neighbors have only to think of it to laugh all the indigestion out of their systems and have found that it is better than the proverbial apple a day to keep the doctors away it seems that mr weber had a cold in the head a not altogether unheard of thing in these parts and that while running his threshing machine a huge cough that shook his diaphragm loosed his false teeth from their moorings and shot them into the chopper of the fast running machine which was grinding out food for the rapacious cattle on the farm after recovering from the surprise and vainly searching for the missing grinders the dismayed farmer gave them up as lost and went about his way sorrowing and sighing like it was goodbye forever to his plate but fortune had something better in store for him for some days later he noticed a cow that was chewing something other than her cud was turning up her nose and rolling back her eyes as if she was going to kick the bucket if something was not done quickly so hopping to the res cue he did what the trojans should have done looked a gift horse in the mouth and low and behold his missing plate which so helped out his own mastication was proving so unsuitable for the cattles jaw as to mark its undoing and so in recov ering it two were made happy the cow over the removal of the obstacle the farmer over the regaining of his teeth and as shakespeare would say alls well that ends well walkerton times altona miss stephenson our teacher is busy training her pupils for their christmas concert the public school pupils
