DRIVING HOME THE COWS A Classic War Story, Based Upon a True Incident in the Civil War Released Monday, January 1st, 1912 WHILE driving home the cows one evening, a boy decides .to go to war. He fails to win his parents’ consent as they have already given the lives of two sons to the great cause. The boy, therefore, steals away in the night, stopping to say good-bye to his young sweetheart. In a hot'ly contested battle, the boy iswounded and taken prisoner. The report of his death is brought to the lonely farm. Upon the aged father devolves the task of driving home the cows. One summer evening as he strolls down the path, tired from his day’s labors, he sees the cows coming. Behind them appears the figure of a youth with an empty coat sleeve. Great is the father's joy when he recognizes his son, and happy are the old mother and young sweetheart as they behold the brave lad coming home with the cows. The famous war-time poem of Katherine P. Osgood, covering the incidents depicted in this production appears on page 12. Page seven
