It was probably in the
1930‛s and at that time one of
the local banks was at a differ-
ent location and kept both the
front and back door open
(during the summertime)
The cow was a little jittery
about being driven through the
business section of town and
about the time it was coming
up the street behind the bank
it broke loose running
Before the boy knew what
Dwas happening the cow had
o run in through the back door
of the bank and ‘proceeded to
go out the front door Even
the president of the bank saw
the incident and became a lit-
tle excited
Stopping" the boy as he came
• running through the bank fol-
lowing the cow, and banker
said, “I’m glad to have your
business, son, only I’m glad the
cow didn't leave a deposit."
A BLESSING— Blessed are

shall miss much small talk.
