Notes md Com nenI

The Agricultural College at
Columbia designates F. L. Cros-
by of Mexico, Mo-, as the most
extensive breeder of Clydesdale
horses in the State. That's a dis
tinction worth while.
w. G. Craig of Pike county is
a Republican but under this
Democratic administration he is
lucky enough to own 13 sows
and last week these 13 sows gave
birth to los pigs, all told.
l see that they are putting in
steel sanitary individual dasks in
the public school building at
Vandalia. That will be steel
against steel when the naughty
boy draws his barlow for a whit
tie.
Here s a story l read the other
day in the Kansas City Times,
remarkable if true: Up a tree
for 200 years is the estimated
adventure of colonial coin
found by a timberman in Au-
drain county. The coin was i'm
bedded in a tree recently cut
down and sawed up and bore
date of 1864. On one side of the
coin was stamped, value one
fourth OK"
If l understand the Laddonia
Herald, Rev. j. L. Watson, pas
tor of the Baptist church of that
city, has received a call to
preach twice a month for the
Christian congregation, also OF
that town. That sounds good
and looks like church union, does
it not?
Miss Mamie Chiffon of Van
dalia is now minus the beautiful
black tresses she used to wear
She kept her hair in place by
the use of a celluloid hairpin and
the other day she sat down toe
close to a hot stove and that
hairpin exploded, and-farewelI
to those tresses. She caught ur
a pitcher of water and poured
on her head, or this story might
have been more serious yet.

FROM MONTANA
Former Audrain Boy Tells of a
Hunting Trip

Ray, Mont, Jan. 29.-Editor
Message fl recently made a
trip over into the edge of the
little Rookie Mountains after ce-
dar posts. Believe, me, the land
over there is indeed rough and
wild looking. 1t is government
land, and suppose will remain
so indefinitely.
There are plenty of bear, deer,
mountain lion, ETC., over in that
country, and so l took my dog
and rife along with the expecta-
tion. of bringing home some
game. However, / will tell you
of the kind of success / had. 1t
was very small, but my down
fall was very great, indeed.
l commenced chopping cedar
trees on very high ridge, from
which you could look down into
a very deep gulch, hundred of
feet below, with very steep
banks covered with scrubby
brush. l had just about finished
falling a large tree when l heard
my dog barking very angrily. ]
seized my rife and started creep.
ing cautiously down the steep
bank to investigate, thinking OF
the beautiful bear skin | would
probably soon possess. l had not
proceeded far when something
happened to my feet. don 7
know what it was, possibly ]
stepped on a pice of ice. Any
how, up in the air they went
real high, and not having any
thing much left to stand on
suddenly concluded to sit dowI
ireal bard. / must have lef
prints in the sands of time" OF
that hillside where / sat down
And then my overalls seemed K
get the idea that they were som,
sort of bob-sled, and started fol
the foot of the hill with me in
side of 'em. We were gaining
momentum very fast and would
have certainly gained the record
as a high speed coaster, bat
thanks for the friendly busf
which happened to be growing
in my path of down-slide and tC
which l seized, clinging very af
fectionately until my feet wer,
in a more suitable walking posi-
ton.
By this time the faithful dos
had dispatched the game and
came carrying it up the hillside
in his mouth. 1t was not bear
but only a small rabbit which hC
had scratched out of am old rot
ten hollow log.
Hunting wild game in the
breaks of the Rocky Mountains
is no hobby of mine. But the
game is there in plenty. Come
over, friends, if you like hunting
but you had best bring a pair Of
hunting boots with spike nails
eight inches long protruding out
of the bottoms else you cam
stick to those hillsides.
Best wishes and l5indest re
gars to all Audrain county
friends,
Ray Triplett.
