the rear Of Hotel North, Saturday.
Landlord Merrill had purchased six feet
Df hard wood. and the question arose
how he was to get it sawed into stove
cngth size. While he was considering
NE perpleXing question, one Of the
Jerks suggested that it as an easy
ming to saw wood-just as easy as
seeping accounts or smiling upon COM
ng guests. SO the idea was grasped at
nee, and in short time a saw and
awhorse were procured and the work
4 cutting up that wood was begun.
first, Mr. Merrill sawed a stick: then
rotation his three clerks followed. SO
hey alternated until the pile was re-
uced to the required lengths. The
our gentlemen sawed an average OF 10
ticks.
