afford plenty of water. Charley was
up there last week and dug a deep
hole in the ground, but did not strike
any water.

While Ed. Dryden's boys were out

about the barnyard and Immediately
gave chase, and the bird was soon

Last Friday just at the dawning of
the day big fat eleven pound baby
boy was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Percy, at the Station, and at once
Harry said his name should be Harry
Percy, Jr. Then he went down town
to tell his good fortune and set up the
smokes and as soon as he performed
that coed deed some of his friends
lowed that he was too big for his
pants and SO they got five yards of
blue denimns and made a pair that
they thought would about fit him.
They ran "yeller" stripeup one leg
and red one down the other, and the
pair of suspenders they made for him
had more colors to it than did Jacobs
coat Of old. When all was ready the
"toggery" was placed upon Harry
and then all sat down and smoked
and joked until the setting Of the sun,
and no one entered more into the
! spirit of the fun than did our friend,
