THE TRUE 7ALE OF WILLIAM
TELL.

William Tell ran hsy ranch near
Bergelen about 500 years ago. Tell
had lived III tie mountains all his life
and shot chamols and chipmonks With
4 cross-gua till he was bad man to
sir up.
At that time Switzerland was run
principallg by a lot of carpet baggers
iroin Austria, ard Tell got down on
them about the year 1897. 1t seems
ilat Tell wanted the goverrmen, co.,
tract to furnish hay at fo:ty-iiye del
lars a ton for the yelr 1896, and Cess
Ter. who was controlling the patronage
Of Switzerland, let the contract to an
Austrian who had a big lot Of con-
demned hay farther up the gIch.
One day Gesslcr put his plug hat
up on telegraph pole, and issued o.
der e,o, regular series, to the effect
that every snoozer who passed down
the toll road should bow 10 it.
Gesslcr happened to be IN behind
the brush when Tell went by, and he
noticed that Bill sid ''5hoot the hat,
ard didn't salute it, so he told his men
to gather Mr. Tell in and put him IN
the refrigerator.
Gessler told him thst if he would
shoo. a trab-apple from The head OF

A crossgun, he would give him his
liberty.

At times there -eems no way to ac

nos appear improbable when 1t Is
recc'lccted thlt the earth in revolv-

of space. The Sun is carrying lis

voyage through the vast occal of

lar spaces. If some of these phcnome-
ma are really due to the matter that
the earth ploughs through n her mar
velous cruise, We may conclude that
therein lies another peril to the mad
and merry crew Of Our rock ribbed

this vortex of scnseless and often fraud
