was iittlo uneasy and notionai, raised
her heels slightly two or three times,
and finally raised them to some pur.
pose, and the next thing Addie recog-
niEed was when he came to his senses
In the house. 1t appears that he was
kicked and thrown to the floor of the
barn with such force as to fracture the
lower jaw on the left side at the angle,
besides rendering him senseless. It Is
q bad case, as he will of course be una
BILE to use the wounded Jaw while Il is

liquid food. Adde'S many friends
/ will sympathize with him In his mis-
fortune.
