Copyright, 1900 by C. b. Lewis.)
Uncle Jerry Trotter OF Kentucky, is
the person who first discovered that
the wishbone Of gray gander would
foretell the weather by changing color
For the last ten years he has supplied
the Limekiln club with barrel OF chill
blain cure per year, and his instruc-
tons as to how to roast a possum have
made him famous among all COOKS
When it was announced that he had
walked 600 miles to deliver a speech at
a Postum party meeting, such crowd
turned out to greet him that Paradise
hall could not hold the half Of it.
When Brother Gardner brought the
old man forward to introduce him, the
enthusiasm broke loose, and such
cloud of dust was kicked up that it was
impossible to see the stage for the next
five minutes. When he could be heard
and seen, the venerable old man care
fully deposited his hat and umbrella
at his feet and began
