of our real farmers. and you'll like him
first rate. By the way, why don't you
come down to the party, Miss Thorne-
Jim'll see that you get down all right

A year later a new face appeared at
the teachers desk in the little district
school, and Jim Spence often says to
his wife, "Jessie, isn't tia pity that the
new teacher has curly hairr What
would she do if somebody tried to steal
the spoons?"

Friends Of one of Augustus well
known rabbit hunters are just now
having no small amount of fun at
his expense because Of an incident
which happened a few days ago
while he with one or two others was
out shooting. They were out after
rabbits and in the course of their
travels they started partridge, the
bird jumping up directly in front Of
the man mentioned above. The flight
was straight away and the bird was
an easy shot but the hunter never
lifted his gun. SO the partridge got
away. 1t is said that all sorts Of
questions were fired at the hunter as
to why he allowed the bird to get
away so easily. but the laugh was on
him after he soberly replied that he
supposed that he might have killed
the bird but that ID was close time
on cartridges and that as he had a
game warden with him and didn't
want to get the latter lin had" he let
the bird go. And then one of the
party who had a copy of the game
laws in his pocket showed the man
who let the partridge get away that
part of the laws which states that
the open season on partridge Is from
Oct. I to Nov. 80. inclusive.
