QUESTIONS ABOUT
COUNTRY LIFE
SOME WOULD REQUIRE A PHiLA.
DELPHlA LAWYER TO ANSWER.

The Country Life Commission
which commission was created BY
President Theodore Roosevelt, has
issued a second circular, copies Of
which were received in this city yes
terday.
The opinions sought in this circu.
lar are on farmers organizations, re.
creation, the country church and the
moral condition Of the farmers in
general. The latter list Of questions
deals with his honesty as a citizen and
asks whether or not he is honest in
politics and whether he would sell his
vote, etc.
"A majority Of the questions which
are asked in the circular can be ans
wered in a general way, but some OF
them are real puzzlers.
However, it is believed that those
in the Yellowstone valley who re
ceiVed the blanks will make a good
strong try at answering all of the in.
terrogations.

Arioch Drug Some

Arioch Petersby, who lives at the lower end of Btngville, had a har-raising ex- nerients one day recent. Arioch took his old dun mare out along the road to graze on the new shoots of grass. He had a rope about thirty feet long tied to her halter and Arioch set down on the stone fnce and lit his pipe while the old mare ranged around as long as the rope would reach nibbling grass. Bye and bye Arioch beuin to git dozey and the rope slipt outen his hands couple of times
 Then he tied the end of It he had holt of hard and fast around his wrist and the first thing he knowed he was fast asleep
 He don't know how long it was until Lem Bradley drove past with a load of household goods being as Lem was nov ing from Bingville to Snake Bend Ari- ocb,s old dun mare skeered at the load of household goods and started lickety- snIit down the road. When Arioch woke m he was foIlering after her at the end of the rope as fast he she was going and without any effort on his part Ari- och hollered to somebody to for goodness sake stope the mare. but who was there to do so? We anser, there was nobody. After the mare had drug Arioch through tbe mud for a quarter of mile the rope broke and he was released. If the rope hadn't of broke there is no telling where Arioch would be today-like as not he would he sleeping meath the daisies in the church yard As 1t was he was a good deal skinned up and all over mud which he hasn't got out of his hair and ears as yet The mare was caught three miles below town by Brent Hooper and brought back -S Arioch next day

l Now that the roads is good again we urge our selectmen to pass some stril- gent laws prohibiting ottomobeels from the city passing through our midst and endangering the lifes and legs of our citizens, dogs and children. Every few l days last summer there would be otto mobeel whiz through BingvilIe and while nobody was killed some of us was nigh skeert to deth. The chaps as run these ottomobeeles don't seem to have a lick of sense and they would jest as leef run over person as not and a little leefer by the way~they ackt
 As recent as last November they was two men passed through our midst in a ottymobeel. Deacon Butterworth was standing out in the middle of the road in front of the P. o. at the time looking up at the sky and trying to make up his mind whether 1t would rain or snow, when Postmaster Eph Higgins holIerd to him if he valued his life to for good ness sakes run. When the deacon look ed around the ottymobeel was most on top of him and he jumpt to one side and ! jest mist being knocked into eternity on the spot. The fellers in the ottymobeel only looked back and laffed as the deac- on shuk his fist at them. Seth Dew berry jumped on his horse which is spav- ined and follered them outen town, but what could Seth Dewberry do against a ottymobeel with spavined horse?
 There ought to be some law passed by the selectnen which would make it safe during the summer season for a re- spected citizen of Bingville to walk ac- rost the street without having to look both directions before he starts. As it is you can't scairsely git aerost the main street in winter for the deep snow, nor in summer on acct. of the danger of a ottymobeel passing through.
 Then they IS another thing. About a year ago one of these ottymobeeIs broke down in front of the church on Sunday morning, and the way the chaps who was in 1t swore was sinful to lissen to and our people going right past them into church too. They laid on their backs under the machine and trying to fix it and called the macheen and each other all the names they could lay their tongues to, thus profaning the sacred att mospheer of the church and making the most accomplished swearers of Bingville feal that they had lived in vain. How could Rev. Moore preach while these two blasfeemers was outside swearing like that? Or how could his flock lis- sen to him with sich evil words in their ears?
 Let the town seleetmen at their next meeting take some steps to mitigate this ottymobeel evil Let laws be passed making it petty larceny or capital of- fence to pass through Bingville in a ot- tymobeel. Then let these laws be in- forced and make the ottymobeelers res- peclt our laws. If the selectmen refuse to take this matter up, then let the board of health look after it. Come to think of it the ottymobeel question seems to be more the business of the board of health than it does of the selectmen any how.
