and Hank told Us eonfdenchially that
for a while he diddent know whether
he would ever reach shore alive or
not and that he prayed for delivverence
from on high for all he was with.
Now, however, that he is alive and
well, he has forgot all his vows to lead
a nobuller & better life, and is jest as
wicked as ever and chews tobacker and
swears something awful when the occa-
shion demands.
Hank lost all his fshin' lines and his
Ratchet in the struggle. Bige Barker
askt Hank if he wassent goin' bacl;
after his lines when he got better, but
Hank said that the goshblamed lines
and Ratchet could rot there for all of
him. The only thing Hank regrets is
that he diddent bring home emmy pick
erel, espeshially when he had his mouth
made up for mess of 'em, too.

that he understands that a good
many of our old subscribers are
dropping off.
In reply to these charges we
would state that if we be going
down hill any faster than usual we
haven't noticed it. The reason we
haven't had many ads in the Bugle
of late is because news has been so
plenty. We don't know that we
ever noticed news as plenty as they
have been this spring.
That a good many of our old
subscribers have been dropping off
is also true, but they haven't been
dropping off any faster than usual.
How are you going to keep your
subscribers from droppln off? Sub
scribers will die, won't they? AS
for us, we wouldn't mind our old
subscribers dropping off so much if
they would only pay up their sub
scripshuns before they drop.
In closing, however, we desire to
emfasize one thing, which is that
we don't haft to fill up the Bugle
with a lot of patent medicine ads
which we don't get nothing for and
"this space to let" ads which we
see In the Banner every week.
The Bugle is a live, up-to-date
newspaper and is regarded as such
BY its subscribers and the general
public while the Hardscrabble Ban
ner amt regarded as scairsly flt to
use to spread on cupboard shelves.
We trust this will be the last time
we will haft to deal out summary
Justice to the editor of the Hard

HANK ALMOST
DROUND
Or Froze, He Hardly knOWed Which
Terrible Narrer ExCape and
Help Scarce---H a Bad Cold
as 1t Is

Hank Dewberry, our eminent towns
man, had a narrer excape from death
BY watery grave last week, and as it
IS he ketchsd a terrible cold and as we
go to press he can't speak above a
whisper and has some fever on him:
Doc. Livermore says he amt out OF
danger vet and is likely TO be took off
ANYHOW if newmonia sets in. In this
case he might as well of dround and
saved the doctors bill
Last Saturday Hank calkilated he
would go over to Gootchic Pond and
ketch mess of pickerels through the
ice. Hank says he has had craving
for pickere1s for some time past, but
being as we have had SIGH nasty wealth
er he preferred t. set around the house
by the fire to going clean over to Goot-
chic Pond and setting around on the
ice waiting for pickerels to bite.
Last Saturday. however, it was a
fair day and Hank he got his traps to-
gether and started for Gootchic, ar
irving there about 10 o'clock Hank
took along a Ratchet and he chopped six
holes through the ice away out in the
middle of the pond. most a quarter OF
mile from land and set his lines with
red flannel flags to them so as he could
see when he had a bite and lit his pipe
and waited for something to turn up.
Hank said he hadn't no more than got
his lines set until the pickerels begin
to bite TO beat anything. He said it
Jest KEEP him bizzy running from one
line TO tother to take the pickerels off,
and suddenly as he was running from
one hole to another he slipt on the ice
and fell like a load Of brick and blamed
II the ice which was kind of rotten
from the spring thaws didn't break
through with him and poor Hank went
clean in under He said he was never
quite so surprised in his life an calki-
lates he swallered about a ct. OF water
which was that cold that it most took
his breth away.
When Hank come to the top again he
grabbed holt of the edge of the ice and
started to elm out. but the rotten ice
broke and he fell back in again and
got wetter than ever if possible Hank
made another attempt TO get out and
another and another. but every time he
tried the ice would break and he would
fall back in. He got turrible tired and
disguised and hollered for help as loud
as he could holler, but nobody seemed
to hear him. so Hank tried to climb
out again and fell back as usual.
Finally he made up his mind that the
only way for him TO ever get TO shore
was to Jest keep clmbin' out and fallin'
back in again. and thus breaking the
ice until he got to dry land. It was
terrible monotonous and tiresome work
with the shore a quarter of mile away
and Hank not over fond of hard work
anyhow.
To make a long story short, or In
| other words to make a short story
outen serial. as we might say, Hank
he broke, and broke & broke away at
the ice until ne finally managed to git
to the shore, but it was turrible hard
work, and when he got there he was
J turrible exosted and also all in and
down & ont. 1t was awful experients

Start in the spring right by subscrib-

Bugle from your neighbor when you
can afford to pay for it yourself?
Last year Ham Wilson purchased
four gum collars at the co. seat which
he has been wearing ever since and
they amt wore out as yet. They don't
haft to be washed in tub, only wiped
off with damp rag. Tother ev'g when
Ham went to put on one of these col
lars he switched it into the flame of
the candle and dashed if the thing didn't
flare up and explode in his hands as It
were, burning his thumb and skeering
him awful. Ham says he never knowed
they would do that and if they ex-
plode that way he calkilates they amt
safe to wear Ham is probably right.
