Nearly Chewed Up

Yves Woodruff Has Turrible Exspe-
rience With a Catamount, as Below:
Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter
and trapper, who also fishes for pleas
ure and likewise profit in the summer
time when it is too cold to trap, had
awful experience t'other day while
fishing, which he says will always cause
him to carry a gun hereafter, even if
he is only out for butterflies.
Yves says he has always said that you
see the biggest sights when you amt
got a gun, but Yves says he only has
said that up to now because he read it
twict in two old newspapers he once
read, and he dident really believe it
till he had this awful experience which
might have resulted in a distinct loss of
life TO Yves and victory for the Grim
Reaper if Yves hadn't walked up just
at the crooshal moment
Yves went up to Bog Brook tother
day, aiming to ketch a few trouts, and
when he got up there, he hshed for
awhile and then found out that it was
turrible hot Yves has turrible active

how to circumvent the heat, so to
speak, he allowed that if he elm up
into a oak tree that had branch over
hanging she brook and hitched his line
to the Sranch, he could ketch trout
AND 50 to sleep maybe.
Yves done that. He hitched the line,
and then he went asleep, becoming OBJ
livious to his surroundings.
At this moment a huge catamount,
attracted by the smell of Yves, ventured
out from his hiding place up back and
come trailing up to the tree.
Pikshur to yourself, gentle reader,
the horror and disgust of Yves when he
suddenly woke up to see huge cata-
mount, six or nine feet long or there
abouts, just preparing to lanch hisself
upon his unsuspecting form. Yves give
a turrible screech and wiggie, and the
fust thing he knowed, the branch had
broke, and he was entering the waters
OF Bog Brook. He landed on the end
Of his fishing rod, breaking it, but de-
spite that fact, he riz up and made
tracks for home, not waiting to see
what the catamount did. Later he took

at Hen Weathersby's store, where
he had been seated for three or FIVE
hours, and suffering so intensity
from the heat that he did not have
sufhshient strength to brighten up
his badge from time to time, but
only to take a handful of dried
crackers in lanquid way every so

the air was surcharged with emo

from his chair, and his chair riz
part way with him and then re-
turned to the floor, almost taking a
portion of Seth's pepper and salt
pants sticking to the seat of it. He
had sweated so that his pants had
stuck to the varnish.
This heat, however, should not
be shifted at, because it has its good
points along with its bad points. 1t

in fact, it does 'em good. 1t hurts
anybody that don't have to work to
work during hot spell like this ;
but parties that don't have to amt
going to. If Hank Dewberry hires
out to do haydn for Deacon An
drews and hot spell comes along,
Hank amt going to hay any, be-
cause he will be powerfully affected

Andrews to get in all his own hay
but it is his hay, so the hot sun
won't have any effect on the Dea-
con. And that's the way it goes,
SO to speak.
Everyone should be turrible care
full, however, to take bath and
change their clothes after this hot
spell is over, if it lasts more'n wk.

We had intended to print whole
lot of stuff this issue in regard to
a fool noshion which some of our
leading and most respeckted citi-
zens have got into their heads, the
same being nothing more nor less
than the starting of a Country
Club, and the beginners of same
being no less than Miss Amelia
Tucker, our ffeigning society queen,
and Jed Peters, our intelligent
teacher.
This is a CRATE scheme, this is,
and one of the most laffable things
we ever heard tell of. We consider
it so alfred laffable that we will
not bother to write edittoriel on
it this wk, but will delay for a wk
or Q while we deal with a subjeckt
which will not waite, this being
the heat.
We do not need this CRATE heat,
which is intents and scorching be-
yond all knowledge, and which beg
gers descripshion, any more than
we need the Country Club; but we
have got to have the heat, and in
one way, as you might say, that is
the only thing which makes the
heat different from the Country
Club. Of coarse, this is a fgger of
speech, and it shows how ridikilous
the Country Club idea is.
But to return to the heat, this
heat is enough to fill a man with
such CRATE disgust that never to
his dying day will he care to ex-
Iperience any more heat. During
the past wk, the front piazza of
Hen Weathersby's store has been
litrally covered by our most prorni-
nent citizens, gathered there to
watch the merkury in the thermom-
letter.
| Just two hrs. before this writing,
the merkury riz so high that the
top of the glass busted. Hank
Dewberry was wachin the glass at
the moment, and when this awful
thing happened, Hank was inme-
Ijiately Frustrated by the heat. Mrs.
Hen Weathersby mixed him up a
glass of lemonade with a little
Iwhiskey on 1t, and right away Jas
Ipar Tarbell and Sam Skinner was
lprostrated. So intents was the heat
that Sam and Jasper did not re-
cover from their swound for IL
lmin., at the end of which Mrs
| Hen Weathersby come out and told
Iher husband there want no more
whiskey, and Sam and Jasper re-
covered and went home.
Another thing that shows how
consumed hot it was was Seth
Dewberry, our heroick town con.

about Tonmoy Bankers age who got
into lot of exciting advenchures by
taking money from people riding on
stage coches. The young Teller was
turrible fresh, and we was hoping some
one would kill him but no-one did. The

three eggs very stiffly and add one
tablespoonful of sugar Pile very

more appetizing than ice-cream at
this time of the year.
Cocoanut Soup.
For COcoanut soup we require a
quarter of a pound of rice, two pints
