FARMER AND MEGAPHONE.


| was on the Upper Ohio last sum-
mer when the river was low, said a
Cincinnati man, recently, and was
much amused over the use to which a
pilot put megaphone. He bought
the thing to call ashore any message
that might have been given the boat TO
carry. This was to save time for
those little boats in the local trades
are great deal like the old fashiG-ed
mail carriers, anything to accommo-
date the people along the bank.
We were in the pilot house. and the
boat MIS- running up n chute near the
West Virginia side of the river. In
eornfield was an cid farmer, who was
following n pillow behind an old flea
bitten gray that only needed half an
invitation to stop at any tine. The
pilot put the megaphone to his mouth
and shouted Whoal and the old gray
whQaed.
THE farmer heard the sound and he
thought, evidently, that Il neighbor
was there OF thefeabouts, for he looked
| around To see from whence the sound
came. Then he tossed n clod at the
old horse and started him up.
Whoa said the pilot, and again
