We followed the dogs which were
duly diligent, but not a covey did we
find. Reaching the rendezvous made
with that chuckle- headed darby. we
didn't find him or wagon, either. MY
friend had killed rabbit a short

that it came from negro cabin. and

What is known as the shouting OF
the churn, comes down from the time
when Apollo was worshiped in Eng

was brought home in triumph, set up
IN the feast and preserved for the re-

called the harvest queen. Sometimes
instead of being made into a doll the
products of the field would be formed
into a mare, and the reapers would
amuse the guests by trying to cut
down the mare with their sickles. The ].
man who succeeded in the undertake
ing would declare what should be done
with the mare
