New to the Country.

I had overtaken an old farmer in the
road, and as we logged along together
we turned bend and came upon eight
or ten men, who had prisoner in their
midst and were making preparations
to hang him to the limb of tree.
Here, what's all thisf" asked the
old man as we came to halt.
"Goin to hang the kuss," was the
brief reply.
"What fur?'
"Stealin that boss over thar.
The "hoss over thar was tied to a
tree, and the farmer took good look at
him and then at the prisoner and asked
of the latter:
"Say, didn't you come along to my
place this mornin?"

"And didn't sell you that boss fur

about, then, that they ar goin to hang
you fur boss stealing"

"He bought that boss of you, did
he?" asked the leader of the band, who
was arranging the moose.
He surely did, and no doubt he's got
my bill of sale in his pocket. Yes,

mornin. My names Thompson, and
guess some of you know me. :"

why He ApoIogized.

There were five of us hunting and
fishing in the Puma range, and one
rainy day, when we were sticking close
to the shanty, stranger appeared. He
said he was tramp barber on his way
to Dobbs City, and as none of us had
been shaved for a fortnight we gave
him half days work. He had steady
hand with the razor and was an expert
with the shears and the only popularity
any of us noticed about his work was
that he let his razor lovingly linger on
the throat. Wegave him his dinner and

of six men rode up and the leader in

boys, do you hear that?" shouted
the man as he turned to his companions.
"What of it?" asked one of our party.
"Why, he went insane yesterday and
cut mans throat in his barber chair
over at Unadilla, and we're after him
to put him in an asylum.
They rode away at a gallop and next
morning returned to our camp with the
man, who had been captured after a
hard fight and was tied on his horse.
He seemed to remember us as he was
given drink of water, and as he hand
