CHAs. KELLER killed COW on Tues
day, but the thing came near being re-
versed. Mr.. Keller had taken the COW
to the slaughter-house and tied her with
rope. He then struck her with an AK,
but the ak glanced, the rope broke and
when Mr.. Keller came to full conscious
ness, he was up the ladder and an infuri-
ated and crazy COW below him, but he
had received several large beauty spots
of black and blue in spite of his agility
and celebrity. Mr.. Keller then got pitch
fork and after considerable fishing, got
the rope from the COW attachedsto the
windlass and then hosting her front
feet clear Of the floor went down and
finished the job he started at Only that
the COW was hornless was all that saved
Mr.. Keller from being killed. He is
feeling pretty sore but is all right, and
next time he will use stronger rope.
As announced last week, Mr.. Clarke
of New York will give his far-famed lee
ture ''To and Fro in London in Kittson
Hall on Thursday evening. Sept. 2srd,
under the auspices Of the Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Clarke has lectured in
Emerson twice and the people have en-
gagged him for third lecture so anxious
are they to hear him again. Mr.. Clarke
gives many different lectures but ITO
and Fro in London has met with such
approval that he has been often recalled

dience Pembina can give him. Mr..
