An honest old Pennsylvania farmer
had tree on his premises he wanted
to cut down, but being weak in his
back and having a dull AK, he hit upon
the following plan: Knowing the pas
sion among his neighbors for coon
hunting, he made a coon's foot out of
a potato and proceeded to imprint nu-
merous tracks in the snow to and up
the tree. When all was ready, he in
formed his neighbors that the tree
must be filled with coons, pointing to
the external evidence made with his
coon's foot. The bait took, and in q
short time half a dozen fellows with
sharp axes were chopping at the base
of the tree, each taking his regular
turn. The party also brought dogs and
shotguns and were in ecstasies over
the anticipated haul of fat coons. The
tree finally fell, but nary coon was
seen to op.-Germantown Telegraph.

Ter who is now

give practical and thorough study to
the problems connected with curbing
the power of large corporations, and
it was due to his familiarity with such
matters that he was called into the

for his advocacy of international bi

OF course his idea was to make Mr..

Mrs. Chandler. But the contrary was
the case. Mr. Blaine evidently per-

did not forward the letter to Mrs.

with Mr.. Chandler in any way for
months. His conduct gave Mr.. Chand-
