ones. Nancy, the bright little six
year old daughter of Mr. Ander-
sons, as soon as she saw me, ran
to the barnyard where her mother
was milking and said, "Oh,
mother. DO you think that is a
good man. He has gun, re-
volver and thing to hit you over
the head If you don't be good"
The little one had been listening
to All older brother who had evil
IDENTIFY been trying to make her
be good.
After good nights lest--an
'early to bed and early to rise"
rest--I got up in the morning feel
ing as fine as a fiddle, only to find
it raining. This was no discourage
ment to me, / had my umbrella
and my shoes were rough shod
didn't leak, and besides l was as
sured Of catching the farmers at
home, took up the hill to
Susan Whitmer's where / was re.
warded by a paid-in advance sub
scription. | couldn't have made
better start. Mrs. Whitmer is
very pleasant middleaged lady,
genial and accommodating. She
not only wished me success but
instructed her adopted daughter,
Miss Goldie Davis, very hand
some little lady Just in her teens,
to show me the nearest cut. /
started back toward the route,
only leaving the road to go up on
the hill to VIM. Anderson's, where
| met new subscriber. Mr..
Anderson directed me the most
convenient way to find his next
neighbor, and started down to
the road leading to the route.
Miss Goldie took the lead and l
followed. She led me through
the fields by well worn path, to
and through the woods, and told
me not to get scared that the
rocks were not so dangerous as
they looked. The path through
the woods led me between two
rocks about 60 or 70 feet high,
with just about enough space to
let me and my umbrella through
without barking my shoulders.
| concluded l had had marrow
escape, and had | been left to my
self / should have gone round.
The scenery is wild and weired
and had tendency to make me
think of bear, buffalo, Indians and
snakes, and there | was without
my trusty gun, my six-inch scalp
ing knife and not drop of pre-
in case of snake bite. |
1t was horrible but it was wonder
full, beautiful, fascinating.
After leaving the wilds and my
kind little guide, soon struck the
route proper, and met with good
luck all along the line. At about
half past eight | reached Samuel
krlnn's, where the threshers had
Just pulled in, and / want to say,
met a pleasant reception and
lumber of old friends. In pulling
5he threshing machine in the barn,
Harry Allen, one of the proprie-
,ors of the outfit, had hold of the
,ongue. In going over the sill
rom the barn approach, the front
Wheel of the machine, opposite
Mr.. Allen, struck the sill, forcing
he tongue toward him, lifting
lim clear off his feet, throwing
lin up against the barn with such
orce as to knock him senseless
lie fell down between the barn and
he stone wall, distance of some
ell feet. He was taken out un-
onscious, but by the very prompt
nd vigorous action of the thresh-
rs, was soon restored to con-
ciousness. As soon as he was :
BILE Co drive he went to Logan, to
Dr., A. X. Smith, and was given
he necessary attention. While 1
is injuries were very severe there ,
no cause for alarm.
This thresher and crew are 6
oing very excellent and very sat /
'factory work. The owners of I
ne machine are Messrs. Pearl and '
ON Cook, Harry Allen and Nels i
Iankison, all young, active, hon t
't, hard workers, are pleasant, t
ourteous, accommodating and are b
,ceiying we'll deserved support. i
