his farm in the town of Magnolia. This
year there were about 1000 eggs

Geo. w. Mabie met with a painful
accident Saturday which was due to
the high wind prevailing at the time.
He was helping load gasoline engine
from hand truck to car when an
extra gust of wind happened along and
sent the truck flying down the plat
form. Mr.. Mabie, in order to save
himself from an apparent wreck, leap
ed from the swiftly moving truck, but
unfortunately in such way as to get
his foot beneath one of the wheels, the
heavily loaded truck passing over a

work for some little time. The truck
turned upside down, engine and all, on

Severe.

A story is going the rounds at a
certain university regarding one of the
sarcastic professors, who was recently
conducting an oral examination iii a
very scientific study.
There was one student, handsome,
easy and self possessed, who appeared
to be utterly ignorant of the simplest
phases of the subject.
Professor W. put question after
question to him without receiving one
intelligent reply. Finally the student
said naively:
"Im very unfortunate, professor;
you never ask me anything know"
The professor said nothing, but
gravely tore off tiny piece of paper
from a convenient pad.
Here, Mr.. b." he said, handing it
to the student, write all you know.

Ever heard,

Dead Leaves as Fertilizers,

According to tests made in France,
dead leaves possess a high value as
fertilizers. They are extensively used
by the market gardeners about the

leaves come next, and the leaves OF
vines stand lowest in value.

picion, she almost collapsed.
1t developed at the hearing of the
charge against Flood today that a
large number of women In a street
