had offered $3.50 to any man who could
stay with him for fifteen minutes. There
were quite a number ready, but the
sports Of the town were stuck on a bia
hairy lumberjack. and Frank agreed TO
take him on. This fellow was like a
bear, with hair all over him. His chest
looked like a mattress with the cover

he was a picture. They got to going
finally and Frank kidded him for fully
ten minutes. Finally he Topped the bird,
and getting his arms under his back some
way so that he wouldn't be down, he
took his right hand and picking hairs
of the 1umberjack's chest started to say
He loves me, he loves me not Two min
utes later he had the lumberjack flatter
