Siunemaf1oning Liars Club.

EuttoT fTtSSs-
The Sinnemahoning Liars Club held
an interesting session to-day. George
!Shafer employed the club to butcher a
calf and by the time the calf was dressed
the club had consumed its value in beer
and Grundy Logue was not present.
Had he been here the hide and tail would
have gone the same way. George Shafcr
said that one of his cows would shake an
apple tree and leave the apples until the
other two cows came along when the
fruit would be equally divided. If only
one apple was left it would be divided
into three parts. George occupied the.
major portion Of the meeting aud,
as the Skaters never have much to say
ordinarily, it was great surprise to the
club. He closed his trap box with the
remark that he had an imported calf, from
Benezette that would pull up potatoes by
the top and eat the small ones and bring
the large ones to the house Tor cooking
John johnson who had sat quietly all
evening reading the Press. could stand
no more jumped to his feet and said it
was lie. Tom Snyder hit him over the
eye with piece Of limbergcr cheese and
caused bad smell. Al then repaired to
another room and took something to
stimulate Hanscom paid his fine on
caucus day aud will probably vote prohi-
bition, since we failed to make ticket.
c. ". Beldin reported on his visit to
Emporium last Tuesday He claimed
not one of the Emporium club would
face him, probably for fear Pap Blodget
would appear should he get stuck. John
johnson could not drink much beer be-
cause he had his length of eels-six feet
three inchcs-and had not the room
Joe Summerson has left the club since
he failed to get the nomination for COM
missioner aud thinks f. f. Smith worked
against him. Harve Smith reported that
he hauled 5000 feet of bark at one load.
He was ordered to sit down, under threat
of expulsion. Jessee Swartz took the
second degree and thinks after he gets
the next degree he will be able to face
a regiment like Chas Cloutz w. H.
-hlcudclS piopOSCu 'idl VIC dll accompany
him to the cellar vault for champagne.
The club adjourned in disorder, all trying
to get the first In the scuffie some one
stepped on 0. s. Bailey's corns. He
struck Pap Blodget and general row en-
sued. Tom Snyder came out best, with
no bones broken.
LATER-Just as the club was leaving
their Library" two members drove up to
the carriage block in great haste They
proved to be Isaac Bowen and NJ. j.
Logue, who reported fight up the Fork
few hours ago. One man struck an
other and drove him into a rock twenty
feet All efforts to cxtricate him having
failed they came down for Barclays log
loader. This caused every member to
faint dead away. Pap blodget and ap
Berfield gave Isaac the belt and preferred
charges for springing such a whopper
Nal. Logue will be expelled If he does
not stop travelling with Isaac.
Adam Logue has rooster that climbs
apple trees and shakes the fruit for the
family use. John johnson says it is
fact-he saw it. He can knock the
socks off of Geo. Shafer.

before he left home. The convention
closed its heroic efforts and the clans
