Wooden Bridge.

*Fa tae>s
As | have had lot of spare
time on my hands this winter /
have devoted it to fishing, hunting
and trapping along the Wooden
Bridge. Having rented an old
sawmill shanty down at the Blue
Hole have had pretty fair luck
captured one skunk, one chipmunk
and one screech owl. So, the 9th
er day when the freshet came |
thought / would look at myaraps.
! started up the creek, and when |
got as far as Bert Browns | stop
ped to take rest, and Bert took
me to his cellar, where was plenty
of good apples but no hard cider;
but he showed me what he called
a slinkey weed and pointed toward
the vinegar barrel. He said it had
great effect on human nature.
Now, wishing to lay in my sup
ply of groceries for the winter, |
thought would go to Clear
Ridge, as had noticed in the
"News" that they had Christ
mas entertainment that was nice
failure, so | thought maybe they
had some goods on hand they
might sell cheap. So, | started,
and when | got on the Ridge | no.
ticed that w. r. Fields was put
ting up a "T" to his house, SO l
stopped and chatted with him
awhile. ] think he must be going
to get married. When got to
town / saw that A. w. Brown had
built a new house to replace the
one burnt. | stopped at the hotel
DeFields for supper, and then
stopped in at the store, where i
found the usual number of boys,
and listened to them. They were
guying Bert Winegardner about
taking his sister to school In cut
ter. Now, there was nothing
wrong about that; for as Bert was
coming home there was a young
lady standing by the wayside and
he, thinking perhaps that she want.
ed to go to town, stopped his
horse, when she asked him to fetch
his best girl and come to "pig
shave" Now, Bert didn't know
what she wanted, and as he is post
master he telephoned to the Post
master General, who told him il
was Christmas and that this was
only a turkey roast. Then Bert
accepted.
There was what might have
been a tragedy in the town on Sat,
urday night. A young man want
ed horse to go to see his best
girl, but papa refused him; 50, TAX
ing poll-axe, he swore he'd shoot
himself.
AS my communication is getting
too long, / must close. You will
hear from me again when the
spring lreshet comes.

eRAPPLED WITH WRONG FOE
Chester Man Supposed His Friendly
Neiahbor Was a BURGLAR.

Chester, Pa. June 21.-Serious con-
sequences nearly followed the discov-
cry made by George Fielding, an ex-
.pressman, when he came down stairs
yesterday morning and found a strang-
Ter enjoying a snooze on a couch in
the dining room.
The intruder's face was turned so
that he could not see it, but he took it
for granted that the man was burg
lar and he grappled with him.
There was a thrilling hand-to-hand
encounter and for fully five minutes
the men struggled, each trying to over
power the other as they wrestled on the
floor.
Fielding finally caught the stranger
by the throat, and this caused him to
cry out which enabled him to recognize
a familiar voice. The light was turn
ed on and Fielding was surprised to see
one Of his neighbors standing before
him. The neighbor clubman, said
he could not tell how he came to be
there, but that he had imagined that
he was in his own home.
