Gabe Nearly SmOtherd

Gabe Hanscomb had a turrib1e hoe
weather experience last Thursday.
Gabe had been suffering somet1ink aw-
street he met up with Brad Hinsley
to who Gabe complained becus it was
so hot.
Brad told Gabe there wassent no
need for him to suffer from the heat
if he would go and do what he told
him Gabe said he was willing to do
ennythink to git cooled off so Brad told
Gabe to go home and put on his winter
woolens and his bearskin oyercoat and
jest set down and keep quiet and he
would git c. lied off in no time. This
sounded ridickluS to Gabe at first but
when Brad told him that ennythink
that would keep out cold would also
keep out warm it seemed reasonable
so Gabe he went right home and done
as Brad had advised and as a result
he nearly melted and the sweat run
often him in streams but he was so
bundled up that he couldn't git the coat
often hisself so he hollerd to his wife
to come and help him which she done
but tore the coat yanl1in it often Gabe
who went out to the pump and dasht
cold worter over hisself he was that
hot, and as a result he now has a
turrible cold in his head
Brad lated when he heard Gabe had
went and did as he told him and thort
it was a turrible good joke. Brad said
he diddent think Cabe was SIGH a fool
as to believe ennythink like that AS
for Gabe he says he calkilates that's
carryin a joke leetle mite to far and
that hes done with Brad for good and
all.

1t is the general opinion around
Bingville that Dad amt over 80.
Besides, Dads memry amt as sup

say, when he gifts to speakin' about
how old he is. Be that as it may,
Dad is a old man and full of yrs.

Skilled Archers,

In the days when buffalo ran in vast
herds on the western plains there were
Indians who. while riding ut gallop.
could send an arrow through buffalo's
body. Remarkable as this feat was.
yet it did not equal that reached by the
archers of ancient times. 1t is of rec
ord that the MacRaes OF Gairlock. Scot
land. were such skillful archers that
they could hit mat at a distance Of
200 yards. In 1904 the Turkish ambas-
sador at London shot an arrow in a
field near that capital 4l5 yards
against the wind and 49, yards with
the wind. This was the greatest per-
Torrance OF modern days. but pillar
standing on plain near Constantine
pie recorded shots ranging up to 800
Yards. Sir Robert Ainslie. British am
bassador to the sublime porte. records
that In l70S he was present when the
sultan shot an arrow 972 yards Field

"Mr. Hapgood is right, all the same,
in the position he took regarding pay OF
