The party Of fishermen who went to

with the mattresses and feather beds OF

some trout, large part of the water that
fell in heavy shower, and plenty of oil OF
tar upon their faces.

The horsefork was duly hung last week
Thursday and worked beautifully all the
in spite of the fact that 1t was not
suspended from its track but merely from
a huge pulley. At noon the deacon and ORR
son were jubilant and boosted how they
could take off a large load of hay in IL
minutes. In the afternoon the women
folks thought they would have look at
the wonder So when they saw load drive
in. they congregated in the barn prepared to
applaud Down came the great fork and
took in its teeth quarter of the load which
it lifted slowly and deposited, alasl upon
the rope for its own management 1t took
some time to get the rope out from under
such a pile Of hay but then of course, ac
cdents will happen Down came the fork
again for another quarter which it lifted just
over the wheel of the hay cart and then
dropped on the barn floor. Another acct |
dent, but then it is more convenient to feed
it from that point. 1t didn't seem best to
stay any longer, so the ladies retired to
the shade of the trees to discuss events.
However, the men have now not only hung |
the fork but gotten the hang of it, and
it works to perfection.
