rather curiously," said a caller at

that nineteen barns to every one farm

THAT, is easily done, replied the
manager II was out In the country
the other day to look at some Of our
risks. At the railroad station I got
a boy and horse and buggy to drive
me a few miles. After we had gone
about two miles black cloud rolled
up in the west and we heard the NUT
terings of distant thunder. There was
going to be a storm, but it was long
ways off yet. We were approaching
a farmhouse. and the thunder was
growing a little louder when we saw
a farmer leave his work in the field
and start for his barn at rapid run.

was the reply.
"You don't say SO? Why, it's

Gettysburg was fought"

other as he took out his scarf and
tied it around his neck. He next pro-
duced a pair of fur-lined gloves and
as he drew them on he continued:
II live up in Winnipeg. They told
me up there before I started what
sort of weather 1 might expect to en-
counter down here but I hardly be-
lieved it. I see now that they were
right. and I will at once go back to my
hotel and get my bear-skin cap, my
coon-skn overcoat and my Buffalo
overshoes, and if I can buy a foot
warmer in this town I may manage
not to get frost bitten. I ought to
have had more sense than to come
out dressed this way
And he at once left the car, shrug-
ging his shoulders as a man does
when chill creeps up and down his
spine, and the passengers looked after
HIM and then exclaimed in chorus:
