is not only fine blacksmith, but he
has shown himself to be an expert
wood carver. With the long quiet
evenings before him he conceived tie
idea Of whiting a seven foot black

years he spent at the amusement, Of
ten getting up at o'clock in the morn
ing to take his sharp knife and white
at the log. He put a little time at
meals and in the evening. Recently he
went to HagerstoWn and brought the
result along in a glass case, and it Is
now on exhibition there. 1t is the run
ming gear of q farm wagon complete
in every detail, together with a chain
and other fixings. 1t Is perfect in ey-
cry way, not pin missing, not a part
wanting and all in one piece, nothing
added or pieced on in any way. It Is
a wonderful bit of patience and skill.
