of Fay EFT, Me-, who was greatly

hear him tell it, his adventures, ex'
plolts and hairbreadth escapes were
wonderful as those of Baron Nun.

has left the shores of time and gone
to the happy hunting grounds, but
some OF his stories still survive.
Here is a specimen:
One day he he was ont on the
lake near his home fishing and hap
pened to have q two. gallon stone
Jug accidentally fell overheard,
filed with water aud sank to the
bottom. Some years afterward he
was again fishing near the same
place, when, feeling a strong 0lte'
he tugged stoutly at the pole ana
pnlled into the boat on one END OF
the line the identical lost jug with

the fish, when small, swan into the
Jug, and not hDding the way out
grew to large sIz" in its prison.
When the bai'ed hook chanced 10
dro into the jug the fish seized lT
and was caught.
