GETS MAIL WITH PULLEY.
Farmer Didn't Want to Walk to the
Road to Get Ii There.

Whilesville, Mo.-To G. r. Thompson,
a farmer living northeast Of here, is
given the credit Of originating the lat
est method Of having his mail brought
directly to his door.
Some time ago Thompson decided
that 1t was a waste Of time and shoe
leather to make the daily trip to his
mail box down by the road, and he set
bis mind and hand to work on device
which would make said trip unneces-
sary.
He succeeded, and now by means Of
a set Of wires and pulley the trick is
accomplished.
After the mail mans visit Thompson
has only to step to his door and draw
I'm his mail, box and all.
The box Is sent back to its post by
the roadside in the same manner.
Others In the community are so pleas
ed with Thompsonss device that they
are going to follow his example, and i
will doubtless not be long until "going
after the MAIL" even so far as the
gate, will be thing Of the past with
the progressive farmers Of northwest

Berkeley Springs, w. Va.-Peter V.
B. Wh!sner, who is eighty years old, is
the champion hunter Of West Virginia
During a period covering fifty years
he has killed $50 deer, about 500 coons
and 500 turkeys, besides many foxes,

deer fifty were bucks having horns
with from three to five prongs. Two of
the deer were white, rare specimens,
and one black. The greatest number
he killed in one season was thirty-five
Practically all his hunting was done

he could have killed several hundred
more deer. He says he has seen four
teen deer in one drove, one of which
had white legs, the white extending up
