How It Feels to Be Run Over.

"When 1 was run over,' writes a correspondent, T had not seen the car approaching. The first thing I knew was that l was on the ground, kicking upward with my legs in an effort to get from under the car. Then 1 felt a wheel going over my chest, which bent as it passed over. In the inter- yening second or two I went through several minutes worth of feelings. had the sensations of astonishment at being on the ground, of wanting to roll aside and away, of bracing myself and my chest especially-stiff to resist something. whatever it might be, while lightning flash of fear was dinly there and q subconseious query, What on earth next? Yet 1t was hardly fear, because there was no time for such durable sensation. It was rath- CT sense of being suddenly confront ed with grave reality, of doubtful, obscurely terrible import" - London Chronicle.

not found IN books
We've got to get these traps out before daylight.

Hear that rain" Matthew chuckled. We
couldn't have struck it better if We had ordered

breaking up and the mink and rats will be the
