Mr.. Boron, who runs the Richards

commenced cutting corn when the
youngest cut his hand SO severely as
to cause him to faint. He was taken
home and given proper treatment.
Mr.. Boron then cautioned the other
son, remarking that cutting ones self
was more the result Of carelessness
than anything else. The words were
scarcely uttered when he commenced
singing another song in different

He also went home to have his wound
dressed and while at the house his
daughter, Clementine, cut her hand
with butcher knife. This all han.
