Why don't you tell big one while

What consolation it must be for the
Window club to think that there is a
club at WOrthington that can beat the
Avocas. But, friend Huntington. the
fact still remains that Window can't

A good one is told on three of the
boys who went hunting the other Sun
day with one of Shells teams. Toward
night one of the horses got loose and
refused to be caught. The boys didn't
know how to get in with one horse, 80
they hitched up one of their number at
a time to hold up the other end of the
neck yoke and took turn about. They
had or 8 miles to make and got in
without catching any serious wind
gall, SPAWN or other horse ailment. To
increase the vigor Of their language,
the loose horse kept a few rods in front
of them. occasionally stopping and
looking back in a tantalizing way.

James Naylon, who resides about four

evening to bring in a COW picketed out

the cow became frightened and ran
away, dragging the poor child (who
had become entangled in the rope)
some forty rods. and she was so badly
torn and bruised about the limbs and
body that she lived only about half an
hour. The afflicted parents have the
