That popular and successful driver,
Jim Curl of Tracy, has made prop
osition to jog this winter and drive
next year Harpoon. Billy Mccullough
thinks seriously of accepting the
terms. Billy says she is coming" and
DR.. Curryear said last summer, "keep

wood; he will fool you all; he is a
trotter."

wood or husking corn like adown east

King Phallamont, 2 years old, record

takes King Phallamont July 1st to tit

he is entered to trot during the state
fair. King Phallamont has many
friends in GAINESVILLE, Wis, that tproph-
esy he will get mark next year in his
3year-old form better than 2:SO.
It is quite proper to relate right here
story on our friend Bill Walker of
Frog Lake Farm. He established last
summer breeding department to his
farm, purchasing some choice trotting
and pacing stock, and has talked most
enthusiastically-horse, records, blood
lines, etc., etc., in and out of season;
so much so that his good wife has ac-
cused him of being daft on the sub
iect. The accusation should not trou-
BILE him, for the following narrative
will show his talk has availed him
much:
Billie Atherton, the persuasive col
lector for Mccormick Machine Co.,
was pursuing one of his missions 100
miles south of here in the woods some
weeks since, when he met two horse
back riders, whose "seat," if it could
be 50 called, was so jerky that it would
suggest, as they rapidly raised each
time they came in contact with the
saddle, that their trousers had recent
ly been in proximity with a red-hot
frying pan. All our readers know Bill
lie Atherton is horsey, ever ready for
a trade, with an eye open for the main
chance. Now, as Billie surveyed the
awkward horsemen, their long steer
age coat tails Tapping up and down
in the wind in unison with their ell
bows, he noted they were mounted on
two likely-looking fillies. AS his team
was late Mccormick chattel mort
gage acquisition, he was keen for a
change, and the following dialogue
took place:
