signal go ahead!" AS the strain came,
the pulley on the side of the barn gave
way, bounding to the load and striking
Antrim on the side of the head. The
rope was whirling when it struck An
trim, and in a twinkling it had caught
about his neck and he was being pulled
up-indeed it was O mere twinkling, a
moment, from the time he gave the or
der to go ahead when he was dangling
in midair. The horse had continued
along, his attendant not dreaming of an
accident. When the rope frightened
about Antrim's neck he instantly
grasped it, and this undoubtedly pre-
vented his neck from being broken.
He could not speak or give any alarm
whatever. When the horse had reached
the usual stopping place he rested,
holding the load till the attendant
should give the word to turn. Nothing
had been heard from Elmer since the
order to go ahead, and when more than
sufficient time had elapsed for running
the fork over to its position on the NOW
his brother Eli stepped one side and
glanced up.
There was Elmer hanging by his neck
a dozen feet above the load and, to all
appearances, dead! He almost screamed
to the attendant to Turn the horse!
Turn the horse quick!" and the at
tendant made haste, still not himself
dreaming what the trouble was. Once
the rope relaxed, young Elmer fell
nearly unconscious upon the load. By
the time the men had scrambled upon
the load he had revived sufficiently to
let them know that he was alive. He
was assisted to the house, where it was
found that the rope had cut nearly
through the flesh entirely around his
neck, and the strain was felt inside the
throat.
Next morning the soreness in the
vicinity of the roots of the tongue was
intense, and he was unable to take any
thing but liquid nourishment. The
soreness responded to careful treat
ment and he was able TO renew deliver.

ANTRIM'S CLOSE CALL.
Nearly Hanged by Being Caught
Up by a Hayfork Rope.
Suspended High I'm the AIR, the Rope
Gradually Tightening to Sufro-
cation-Unable to Make His
Condition Known.

Elmer Antrim, of Windsor avenue,
Hartford, Conn.,, had a narrow escape
from death that he will not soon forget.
He was assisting at haying, his duty at
the barn being to superintend the plac-
ing of the hayfork and delivering its
load at the desired point on the NOW.
1t may not be generally known that
hayforks-or perhaps hay unloaders,
more ppoperly-are quite the thing, and
many of them are being purchased by
farmers to relieve some of the srduous
work of haying. They are capable of
graphing almost any size of forkful,
from 5o-pound tumble up to ton or
more, according to the wishes of the
manipulation. For the purpose of un-
loading a pulley is rugged in the barn
loft, through which the fork rope
passes. Another pulley is attached to
the side of the barn over the NOW, and
through this the rope also passes,
thence obliquely out through the en-
trance back of the load, where horse
is attached to it. whose duty is to pull
the forkful up. A run" leads across
toward the pulley over the NOW, and
when the forkful is lifted to the proper
height the man on the load pulls cord,
which runs the load across over the
NOW. When it is properly located the
manipulation calls out "All right" The
horse turns back, the rope slackens, the
fork lets drop its load, and the operator
pulls it back for another lift. To the
unsophisticated it is proper to say that
the fork consists of a couple of hooks or
arms fastened at one end. By pressing
stick at the point where the arms are
connected they are opened to their ut
most; then the tightening of the rope
closes them as far as the load will al.
low and" up she goes"
1t was while attending to these mat.
tiers of adjustment that the accident
happened to Mr.. Antrim. The fork had
returned to the load, had been ad.
justed for another lift. and he gave tho

were closed III order to hear what the
Superintendent might have to say on tho
subject Of education.
Tho Superintendent having spent n
large portion of his lifo in tcachn e
school, was well qualified TO speak nl-
thoritntivcly on this subject to teachers
and pupils. Ih" school had an enroll
