years ago. He was the local liar, of WHOM
the town was justly proud, for it was sal
he could give" pints to ury other critter /.
the caountry, an then beat him Mt yurnit
it, without hafe tryiu." Noone could tel
bigger or more impossible story thar
White If they attempted it, the old sin
ner would not rest until he had invente
some yarn that completely put his rival
route. Sometimes he "cut his own fin
gers" in a most decided manner, hut h
would never acknowledge it, and h,
promptly got angry on having slips of til,
kind pointed ont to him.
One night, as party of MS sat around Z
comfortable fire in the big wood stove o.
the village grocery, the men began tellinl
about large loads of various kinds they
had seen drawn by cattle. After li-tenina
in silence for long time Old Man Whit,
srraiyhtpnai up, took in new "Chaw'
aud cleared his thrUgt for action. In mo
ment, everybody was listening in an at
tentiye manner although significant wnks
and mods passed around the circle
