Frank and John, two brothers. who
live with thei1 parents in Harlem fat,
had a friend visiting them recently. In
the course Of the afternoon their mother
brought in plate with three pieces of

equal size, but the third was much small

who promptly took one of the large
pieces. Then it was passed to John. who
took the remaining large piece. Frank,
as he took the small one, looked at his
brother and muttered, "Hogr'

He whipped the horses repeatedly
while passing through Gold Hill but

continued on down the road. and when
he reached a point near Washburn's
mill he started the team on a run, all
the time plying the whip. The horses
increased their speed and assumed q
terrific pace. This was kept up till
the Cromer residence, just beyond the
Devils Gate was reached. Hill was
thrown from his seat over on the left
side Of the road. The horses contin-
ued on until the site Of the old Nc
Cone foundry was reached where they

ing any damage.
