II was Farmer Waddy that was doing
the talking, and the squire of the town
ship only interrupted To ask whether tho
farmer had ever missed any chickens or

No, l never did, " admitted Waddy,

Don't be too confidin, " insisted the
squire. MANY tn apple I've seen that

but wouldn't be surprised no day to

That's So but there's IL million

Farmer Waddy did watch, and he
hired others to help him watch If this

D. & o. improvements.

The work of Strengthening the track and
reducing the grade at Tabs Station. on the
second division Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was recently completed, and the
first train to use the new line was No. ], the
New York and St. Louis flyer. A heavy
grade and three bad curves have been elm
mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers
Hole, similar improvement has also been
completed after months OF work; Several
reverse curves and nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this point. Near
Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment Of the
track is being materially changed, and, as in
the other two improvements, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being re-
moved. This part Of the work will be done
in sixty days and then series Of very dan.
gerous places will have been entirely re.
moved. This work in its entirety means the
hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the danger
Of derailments to almost nothing. The Sec
ond division, running from Cumberland to
Brunswick, will soon be in first.class con-
dition and more cheaply operated than
ever,

basing his opinion upon personal in

farmers to sell their wheat while the
price Is high, rather than to take the
risk OF possible falling market when
