| A ssCrow Bar" Yarn.
The editor of the ''Crow Bar" a
journal devoted to blacksmiths and
wagon makers, came up from Mime
apolis a short time since and fratern-
lied some with gentlemen of the trade
in Princeton. AS result he went
home and penned the following on
Andy Bulls:
Scissors was in Princeton a couple
of weeks ago and heard Andy Bulls
telling O. H. Bucks new foorman
about time when he (Andy) and
Frank Peterson went hunting. You
see the story was about like this:
Early one morning the two got a team
from Dune McCuaig's livery and
started for the lake. Several miles
were traversed and it began to grow
light in the east, and they still were
far from their destination. "Hang
me, if this amt too slow for me-" said
Andy. me, too," said frank. "Let's
walk" ''Go you," said Andy, and
tying the team by the roadside the two
sportsmen hit the pike. Just as the
sun was coming up they reached the
lake, but the wind had risen and ducks
were scarce. Lets look around for
their nests,'' I said to Frank" said
Andy in telling the story. "'All
right, said Frank, and so we began to
look around. Finally we found one
nest away up in a tree, and I climbed
up and began to throw down the eggs
while Frank held his hat. I made a
mistake on the last egg, however, and
as it fell it struck a limb and broke.
OF course the duck that was in the egg
got away and we had the awfulest time
catching it you ever heard tell of.
Frank and I finally chased him over a
field and into a farmers yard before
we caught him. But say, do you know,
I saw thing in that farm yard that ]
never saw before or since. There was
a stream running throu gh the farm
and the farmer had damned it up Sc
that he could always have water for
his stock. But he had built to high a
dam and in order to make little out.
let he had bored five one-and-a-hal1
inch a4ger holes in row near the top
of the level of the creek, and of course
there were five little streams squirting
through. And do you know" contin.
Z ued Andy, 'there were five pickerel
which had swan up to those five
streams and got stuck in the holes in
the dam. The farmer told me he al.
