old farmer the other day, said one Of
them.
''Interest always attaches to the
doings of the agricultural classes, "
said the Englishman, hitching up his
chair with q look Of interest.
"The farmer had just driven into
town with his mules to sell a load OF
pumpkins, and stopped in front Of the
photograph shop.
''What air them fellers doin' in
there with spouts in their ears9" he
asked.
Those are talking-machines,
said man in the doorway.
.'The farmer was little incredu-
lous, but finally left his mules and
went in.

"Whoa, there + shouted the rustic
darting out Of the store. "Then

burst out laughing.

over the bow. The effect was nearly
instantaneous, the height of waves
being so diminished that the vessel
could be managed without difficulty.
