the big sells-Floto parade Monday
morning a negro worker of the cir

from the house and so notified Mr..
Treemer.
Mr.. Treemer found the man be-
hind the mill just after he had

was all dressed up. The negro re-
piled that he always dressed up

chase started with the Sells-Floto ne

crawled under some hay and then
pulled a piece of canvas over him.
For fear that the negro had gun,

the trousers, returned the money and
then almost turned white for fear

Too Much for the Skunk.

Mr.. Caclie Berry vOuches for the
following story:
A Frenchman. an EngliShman, an
freshman and German prisoner were
in an argument as to which was the
bravest.
A Yank overheard the controversy
and decided to settle it. Pointing to
"A nearby poultry house. he told them
that there was a skunk inside and
asked the freshman to step inside and
see how long he could stand it.
Pat did as he was told. In five min
utes he came out. The Englishman fol-
lowed, but he stood it only four min
utes. The Frenchman next tried it,
but five minutes was enough for him.
1t was the Germans turn. He went
in and the others waited. The minutes
passed - o-three-fOur-tive
--six-seven, but no German. Eight
minutes-ten-the skunk came out
