Specimens OF VerItabIe Yarns By an
Illinois Farmer.


yVban 7 first came here in 1919,
those oxen were steers. Stock was
rather short then, and ] worked the
critters in early. Well, one day, Old
Tennessee Smith, down by the Lily
nache had cut a red elm and It got
lodged in the slOO, and none OF them
dare venture ont to cut it clear. SC
they hitch on all the oxen they h;ld
and tried to drag it up on the Dlu-i.
But with six yoke they cOuldn. { make
it let 20. Then some one said, send
for Spencer's steers. When Mr.
Smiths bov came I told him he could
have the steers, but Charley, no one
else drives them but me- So ynke'l
up and went down.
When I got there Isaid, gentlemen,
take away your oxen; they did.
Then I told 'em to cut a welt all
around the los so my chain would
lie inside Of it just even with the bark
Then cut a slit from this welt to the
end of the butt, so that the tant Of
my chain wOuln't catch in the hazel
brush. Then I put the chain around
and hitehed on, and took up the whip
and just gave the critters a cheerful
start with the lash. They sprang 10
it and jerked the log two feet, and
then il stuck fast. Then I yelled and
put on string, and those little fellows
leaned into their work and just shiy-
cred a little, and then went along
like q shot for a yard or two, and
with q long red stick behind 'em, and
everybody shouted, and then just
shut up their fly traps and said not q
word For, gentlemen, would you
believe it, those two little bucks had
drawn the heart right out Of thatlOgI
Yes, sir; and if that Yankee don't
believe it, I can show him the same
log to-day at Jackson. The road COM
missioners took it for a town pump.
1t was all bored out for use.
started with my span of grays and
a load Of corn to drive to Jackson,
nine miles, to market. Brought home
[ four bags Of meal and q barrel Of -four.
I Well, just as l got shut Of town, and
had about eight miles Of prairie
'tWiXt me and Hannah, I heard a rat
tin noise behind me, and when I
I looked around there was a bouncing
hail storm upon me. I yelled at my
grays and flung my chew Of tobacco
at Billy, for he was the LATEST, and We
swung along at what you Yankees
call a good Hiram Woodruff pace. I
never quit yelling, and they never
I stopped running till we struck Field
erkin's corner, right where you blaz-
ed that big burr oak this morning.
I Then / found the storm was over, and
I when i looked to see if the load was
safe, here were two bushels and a
half Of hail stones in the hind end of
my wagon, but not one Of 'em on my
sacks or on me. Gentlemen, / had
raced on the edge of that hail storm
all the eight miles home! Now, it's
my opinion that you couldn't do that
little trick to-day with any two horses
in Illinois, not if you soak their tells
in turpentine the night before, and
touch a match to 'em just as you say,
| git out of thisl-BOstOn AdUer.

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.

The Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard
contains quite a lengthy account OF
the damage done in that city and
environs during a recent thunder
storm. The following is an extract
THE electric fluid struck a barn
belonging to Mr.. Henry Stillsipg, on
Division street, which, together with
a horse valued at 500, was DESTROYED
by fire. At WaldemOre, the resi-
denee Of Mr.. p. T.. BaFnum, a bolt
fell, striking the lightning rod, and
followed il almost 10 its base, when it
left that and passed through the hall,
the doors at each end being open.
The ball OF fire was distinctly seen by
the family, and Mrs. John W. Amer
man, Of Brooklyn, sister of Mr.. Bar
mum, who with others were sitting In
the hall, was prostrated and rendered
insensible for few moments, when
she recovered from the shock. II
is said there is always danger from
lightning in a draft where the doors
are open on either end OF q hall that
extends completely through q baild-
ing. The residence Of Mr.. Legrand
StrattOn, on Grand street, was visited
by the electric fluid, two holes being
made through the roof, the chimney
split, the current then passing down
the gutter pipes, breaking the stove,
upsetting the bed and tearing off a
portion of the piazza steps. AtLyon
& Curtis lumber yard q bolt fell on
one Of the sheds and killed q most
valuable dog. The lightning struck
the rod on the tall chimney of the
brass works and twisted il mp as II 1t
was q string, the force Of the stroke
causing q horse and cart on the street
to about face On ]. d. Alvord's
farm, which Is occupied by B. @.
JOcelyn, at Old Mill, the barn was
struck and roofs damaged. At the
Na1gatuek dock, the masts Of two
schOOners were pretty well shivered.
One, the Right BOLDeT, with q cargo
of yellow pine from Georgia, had
her foremast entirely spoiled. A boy
standing at the pump on the schooner
was knocked over BY the shock. The
other schooner was the Georgia, from
Belfast. Her topmast was splintered
badly, and the fluid passing down
made deep furrows, but did not mate
rally injure the mast. MT. Erek-
sons house, on Division street, came
in for a visitation from the lightning,
which went through the roofs into
the attic, causing the splinters to fly
in all directions. One bolt descended
in California street, struck q fence,
rushed across the street and entered
a dwelling, driving out the occupants
in great fright. Another came down
solid on an apple tree near Stratford
avenue, and ripped it to pieces. A
Mrs. Smith, in East Bridgeport, re-
ceived a severe shock, as did also a
ladyon Railroad avenue.

A silly story that was in circulation
several years ago has started again.
1t is that John Randolph, upon his
deathbed, did not write "RemOrse ~
on a card, but "R. Morse" that being
the name of one Of his attendants.
Now it happens that DR.. Parrish, who
had charge Of Randolph, has given Il
full and perfectly Trustworthy account
of the last hours of his patient.
Randolph, after doing awhile, sud-
denly cried out "RemOrse! remOrsc.''
LET me see the word :" There being
no dictionary in the room, Randolph
said Write in dOWn-let me see the
word" DR.. Parrish wrote it upon
one of RandOlph's own visiting cards
and handed i6 to him. HE was -
says the doctor, Excessively agitRted
he repeated, 'RemOse-yOu can form
no idea Of it whatever; it has contrib
uted to bring me to my present situa-
ton but have looked to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and hope have obtain
ed pardon He then gave the card
to the doctor, telling him to put it in
his pocket, and adding, when am

laundering story that Randolph wrote
''R. Morse" when, in point Of fact,
he did not write anything

JEFF. Davis: "If Mr.. Jefferson Davis

FeprOachful witness of his folly and

that the invention of the sewing ma
