Getting in Winter supplies.

1t is now the choice season of the year
when the man of the house proceeds to
get barrel Of apples down the cellar
alone. Always says he will never do it
again, but when the year rolls around,
he forgets his promise and rashly shows
off his muscle, Just the same as he did
before.
The man who gets barrel of apples
down cellar is either a professional bar
rel shower, with sinews like hotel ten
derloin. or else he is natural profess
sional fool.
Having divided humanity into two
classes, We will now proceed to discuss
the professional fool.
He gets around behind the barrel on
breaks he will get the benefit. Then he
asks his wife to stand ct the head OF the
stairs with light. ostensibly SO that he
can see, but in reality SO that he can
show her what young Hercules he is
The young Hercules and professional
fool then carefully sets the chine of the
barrel on his largest and most mellow
toe. He swears softly to himself, and
then gives the barrel . vicious jerk that
jams his nose into the head OF the barrel
and skins the entire front OF his legs.
This maddens him 90 that he undertakes
to throw the whole barrel over his head
into the potato bin. This move is only
partially successful, and when his wife
and two Of his neiehbors roll the barrel
from his remains at the foot Of the stairs
an awful sight meets their gaze. The
young Hercules has his head in the plum
jam and his feet mixed mp with the
picked peaches. In his fall he has
knocked of the faucet Of the Ave gallon
coal oil can, and the oil il running into
his ear. Most OF the apples have rolled
out OF the barrel and are bathed in kero.
sene. Kerosene gives . rich aromatic
flavor to fruit, that cannot be successfully
imitated. Sometimes In letting barrel
Of apples down stairs the stair breaks and
lets the man down also. But that makes
no difference. The man always falls
under the barrel, and when il strikes
him across the stomach, the Low sad sigh
that he pours out ON the silent air sounds
like the remarks Of the baby elephant
when the trick mule kicked him lust be-
low the thorax. and about due south Of
the liver pad.
