"Old Jim Tramwell Of Yates county.
New York, was remarkable man, said
j. NJ. Hennaway OF Rochester IN The
Morton last night as he lighted fresh
perfecto, aud put his feet on a writing
desk. 'aOld Jim was one OF the most
singularly constituted men that ever
lived. suppose" continued the speaker
between consecutive pulls OF cigar
smoke. Mature issued peremptory or
ders that jim should he vegetarian.
Whenever he disobeyed the law the re-
suits were astonishing. Now IL Jim ate
any beef he'd perform the dodgasted
feats you ever heard OF. Eat grass and
below, and all that sort of thing. YOU
know. Same way with mutton. only
he'd bleat and chew sorrel. One day
he ate piece OF rabbit. and i
hope 10 be hanged IL he didn't run
nine miles and dodge every dog
he met. Jim used To feel nightly
wrought up over his malady. Cha
grined him, YOU know. Whenever ne
ate any meat and recovered from his
contortions. he'd become morbid and
swear he'd never touch another morsel
of flesh "a long as he lived. One time
he ate piece al p:ckerei, and 1 hope 10
die. II he didn't break the ice in horse
pond and go in swimming. Poor fellow.
He came TO a sad end. While visiting
his aunt's fathet over in Livingston
county. they prev iled upon him 10 eat
a small bit Of squirrel. Jim foolishly
chewed it, aud tw 3 minutes later jumped
from the table and ran out of doors He
climbed a shagbark hickory tree. and
while jumping from limb to limb he fell
ana broke his neck. Poor jim! Rather
cool nights for August, don't you
think SOY
