Four good rugged South Paris men,
in whose usual occupations the art OF
chopping cord wood is not included, re-
Gently took half day off in order to
indulge in that entertaining exercise.
They returned claiming great results and
declaring that the chips flew so that
they could not see the sun. Some OF
their friends who have visited the scene |
of action say that not only the chips but
also the cord wood flew as only about |
one-half cord was In sight as the result |
of their combined efforts.
The attempt to start the engine at the
Greenwood mill of the Paris Manufacture |
ing Co., which has been unused through |

external signs of anything wrong. A
half dozen men worked all one day try |
ing to get il started, and two of them
continued the next day. Finally they |
took the engine To pieces, and found IN |
side the cylinder several quarts of nuts,
bits of bark, and other fine stuff. a
squirrel had gone in through the exhaust
pipe, and had discovered an excellent
place for winter storehouse.
