While Fred Comley was engaged in
planting potatoes on the Huntington
farm one day last week, he had occasion
to lay his potato bag on the ground for a
short time. While he was absent huge
swapping turtle crawled into the bag
among the potatoes, unknown TO him.
Although he thought the bag unusually
heavy, he started to drop more pota-
toes but when he reached in the bag the
turtle grabbed him by the hand and hung
on for dear life His cries brought G.
+. Williams, VIM. McElvain and Patrick
Kleen swiftly to the rescue, aud released
him by prying the turtles jaws open
with crow bar. His fingers were
bitten quite severely aud he says he will
look in the potato bag before dropping
any more potatoes.

Among the many towns people who
enjoyed Tuttles Big Circns last week were
party of Cameron county citizens, com
prising Messrs. John Schneider, Joseph
Robinson, Bob Smith, Crugar and f.
H. Webster. They report very enjoy
able evening and Mr. Schneider who is
somewhat given to poetcal asperations, de-
scribing the event in the following little
composition which is very entertaining as
are all of Mr.. Schneider little verses:
When Tuttles Big show came around,
Five good solid men of our town,
To the big circus went,
Each upon pleasure bent
For they had lots of coin to put down.
Brother Schneider the animals liked
He saw the back bear ride the bike,
And he wanted to
The great chim-pan-zee,
But they said it was out on a strike.
Brother Robinson saw the great aux
The parrots gave him some back talk,
While the rest of the birds,
Who could not speak in words,
Gave vent to their feelings with squaks
Brother Smith preferred the big snakes,
But he said that they gave him the shakes,
They filled him with fear
And although friends were near
The way that he shook took the cake.
Brother Crugar admired the trapeze,
He said with the show am well pleased,
The performers looked fine,
AS they got up in line,
What wonderful Snowman were these.
Brother Webster took in the side show,
He said it was well worth the dough-
The ossifed man
Tried to dance the can-can,
And the fat lady swallowed her toe.
These gents felt that they well paid
For the little expense that was made
But before they went home,
They spent quite a sum,
On peanuts and red lemonade.
