as they wished t. employ an Overseer

I we're both sick, and my wife died on

there some years, a | knew a
man to leave there under four years.
The first Monday in December they
elected another man in my place, and
left me without a home. l voted the

that they found no fault with my man

The WoodIawn Farmers Club.

The June meeting of the Woodlawn
Farmers Club was held at Huntley on
the 24th, President Harrison in the
chair. The minutes of last meeting
were read and approved.
The committee to secure n road to
the railway station at Mt. Vernon, re-
uorted that the officers of the company
favored the proposition and it was
thought that it would soon be done.
The committee was continued.
An interchange of views as to the
harvest prospects followed; from which
it appears that the late sown wheat was
not generally we'll filled. Questions
were asked as to the best means of sup
pressing the wevil. The sprinklipg Of
salt on the wheat as it was put in the
barn or stacks was suggested as a rem
edy.
Next came talk about the horn fly
and their pertinacious attentions to the
cattle. 1t seems that they are much
more numerous and annoying in some
herds than in others and that they
seem to be attracted to certain animals
the most. All of which remains con-
undrum, as it was not satisfactorily ex-
planned through divers suggestions as
to the why and wherefore were ad-
vanced.
4 sample of wheat from the Chicago
exposition, grown in Colorado, was
shown by James w. Roberts. The
heads are of large size and have several
branches, 1t was thought that good
stand of such wheat would Weld 100
bushels per acre. The sample was
placed in charge of Courtland Lukens
for experimentation and report.
The attention of the club was then
called to the balloon ascension and
parachute descent at Riverside Park OF
which there was fine view from the
front of the house.
Soon after this an adjournment was
had for supper.
The next meeting will be at the resi-.
dence of f. E. Mason, July 22d.

told by the fishermen and sponge hunters
of that region. That even the smaller
ones are ugly customers to fool with the
incident will show.
A shell gatherer, while at work on the
west coast, came upon young octopus
crawling among the rocks. 1t was quite
small, measuring not more than three feet
from tip to tip of its extended tentacles,
while its body was not larger than mans
fist. 1t looked like very big spider as
it wobbled along on its arms, trying to
reach the surf from the part where it had
been left by the receding tide, and the
shell hunter thought he would try to cap
ture it. Running up he planted his foot
firmly on the end of one of the creatures
"feelers, but with apparent ease the octo-
pus pulled it free, and continued its march
toward the sea. The man repeated the
experiment several times with no better
success, then taking advantage of a mo-
ment when the creature could offer COM
paratively little resistance. it being in the
act of reaching out to lay hold of rock
on the other side of an intermining assure,
he seized one of the tentacles, and, giving
a powerful jerk, tore the fish loose from the
rock.
Up to this time the efforts of the octopus
had all been directed to escaping. Now,
however, it changed its tactics. Turning
upon its pursuer, it laid hold of him by the
arm, wrapping its tantaces about his body
as well, and tried to fasten its beaklike
jaws in his face.
Here was predicament, The hunter
hunted with vengeance. Try as be would,
