The True story of Tell.
MN N,e.l

William Tell ran n hay ranch near

wears ago. Tell had lived in the noun.
tains ali his life, aud shot channels and
chipmunks with o cross gun till he was
a bad inan to stir up. AT that time
Switzerland was run principally lot oi
carpet bnggers from Austria, and Tel
pot down on them about the year 1907.
ii seems that Tell wanted the govern
ment contract TO furnish hay nt forty
dollars a ton for the year 1906. and
Ges-ler, who was controlling the patron
age Of Switzerland. lot the contract TO
an Austrian who had big lot OF con
demned hay further up the gulch. One
day Gcssler put his plug hat ON tele-
graph pole. aud issued order 236. regular
series, to the effect that every snoozer
passing down the toll-rond should bow
10 it. q .ssler happened to be ia behind
the brush when Tell went by, and he
noticed that Bill said; "Shoot the hiatt"
and didn't salute IL; 50 he told his men
to gather Mr.. Tell in, anJ put him in
the refrigerator. Gessler told h IN that
il he would shoot a crab. b.apple from tho
head OF his only son, ut two hundred
yards, with n cross.gnn, he would give
him his liberty. Tell consented. and
knocked tho apple higher than GlIderoy' :
kite. Old Gesslcr, however. noticed
another arrow sticking in Williams CIR.
die, and asked him what Kind OF IA
ilowcry break that was. Tell told him
that II he had killed the kid instead of
bursting the apple, he intended TO drill
hole through the stomach OF Mr..
Gessler. This made Gessler mad again.
aud he took Tell on n picnic up the river
ia irons. Tell jumped oil when he got "a
good chance, and cut across II bond IN the
river, and when the picnic patty came
down ho shot Gessler dcader than n
mackerel. This opened the ball for
freedom, and weakened the Austrian
government so much that IN tho follow.
ing November they elected Tell to fill
the long term, and half-breed for the
short term. After that Tell was rocog
nized by the ruling power. and he could
get most any contract that ho wanted
to. He got the service on the stage line
up into the Alps increased 10 daily
aud had the contracts in the name Of his
son Albert, The appropriation was in
creased $3.50, 900 per year, and he had "a
good thing. Tell lived many years after
this, and was loved by the Swiss people
because he had freed their land. When
ever be felt lonesome he would take his
cross gun and go out and kill IA tyrant.
He had tyraut on toast almost every
day till Switzerland was free, and the
peasants blessed him as their deliverer.
When Tell got to bo mn old man he
would 80 out into the mountains and
apostrophze them in these memorable
words: aye crag, aud peaks, TIN with
