Pitching the Last Tumble in Vernon,

To start to hay It right away
When july fourth is over,
And take a week TO trim" the road
And two to cut the clover
1t kinder makes your oldest boy
Almost begin to grumble.
And wish the dav would come to pitch
The last, golrifus tumble.
The hurge grass takes another week.
And, while your crop is thinner,
About three -fourths of half as much
As that of Pegleg skinner,
You notice nearly every day
Some loved ones temper erumble;
Your second boy Jest aches TO pitch
The last, COMPOUNDED tumble.
Then comes the swale; You need more
And hire old day-hand Hawkins.
And him and YOU sharp up your scythes
And shed your shoes and stock;ns;
But when YOU hear the white backed
bees
Begin to buzz and humble.
Iou wish Yourself the hour was ripe
To load the last old tumble.
More help outside means more indoors.
More fiTewood, fuss and vietuals;
a sort of lockout strike sets in
Amongst the cooks and kittles;
A twelve pound ham lest fades away,
Like .JOhnny's sugared tumble
Your wife hints UP it's time the cart
Come round for that last tumble.
At length an AUGUST day arrives.
Aud, though the morn is lowery,
And hot as neDDer. muggy. dark
With southeast wind and showerv.
You haul six loads that afternoon.
And while the thunders rumble
Out grandpa comes with his straight
fork
And spears the last old tumble

The ThOughtless in the Water.
(Holyoke Transcript,

There seem to be more drowning IA
talIties than usual this summer and III
so many cases the sacrifice of life is so
needless. No matter how strong and
expert Il swimmer this man or woman
may be, it is not safe to try long dis
tance swimming alone. There was
case OF. this tune near the Northamp-
ton bridge the other day when two men
were taking a long swim. They got
separated and the man caught with The
cramps was too far away from his
companion. The latter could not get
back in time to rescue the drowning
man. They should have kept nearer to-
gether. Better still there should have
been a boat along, People who cannot
swim viii insist in going out in canoes
or bathing where they easily get beyond
their depth Foolish boys and men dive
into shallow water and fail TO come up
The case of a person recently drowned
IN our Connecticut river at Hartford,
shows the necessity for a knowledge
on the part OF the average man of re-
suscitating a person whose life might
have been saved ii the proper attention
had been given as soon as the body was
taken from the water In this case
pulmotor was secured and used without
avail. The Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany of Hartford has issued d bulletin
in which the ordinary directions tor saw
ing life by means of artificial respiration
is set forth so simply and clearly that
anyone can easily learn, remember and
practice them if the opportunity occurs
They are:
Lay the patient on his stomach with
arms extended ahead to expand the
chest, and face to one side to permit
free breathing Clear the mouth of
mucus, tobacco, false teeth, etc. Loosen
clothing at throat. In case of drowning
first clasp your hands under the pa
tents stomach, lift him several times.
letting the head hang down TO drain out
the water and have the patients head
lower than his body before starting arti-
fetal respiration. Place a stick of wood
a coat rolled up, or both-if they are at
hand-under the pit Of the stomach
Don't wait for anything, hut start at
once. kncel. straddling the patients
thighs with palms of your hands on
his loins; with your thumbs nearly
touching and your fingers spread over
his lowest or floating ribs.
First Notion: Slowly swing your
body forward until your weight is on
your hands. This presses the air out
Of the lungs.
Second Motion: Swing back on to
your knees to relieve the pressure. This
allows the chest to expand and draws
air into the lungs.
Keep up these motions constantly
and deliberately at the rate of from rs
to 20 a minute, about at fast as your
breathe. Don't give IN too soon, and
don't give anything by mouth until
patient is fully conscious.
The bulletin concludes with the sug-
gestion "Practice this once or twice
and Won are ready to save a life" 1t
Is excellent advice.

In some political circles that the setting
was now quite well adapted for a dra-

railroads, because they had the temerity
to say No. 1t is argued that, after 50
much soft speaking. now is the psyche

political astigmatics a good stroke Just
now As a matter of fact, it would be
both bad business and bad politics.

Washington, Oct. drought condi-
lions threaten serious damage in many
parts of the United States, according
to the weather and crop review of the
weather bureau, which reported that

Light rains fell along the Pacific
coast and in some sections along the
gulf, the review said, but continued:
drought conditions prevailed in
most other districts and there was in
sufficient moisture for the proper
growth of vegetation. Pastures,
ranges, meadows and late truck crops
were unfavorably affected and mols-
ture was needed In many central and
southern states for the termination Of
fall sown seed. The ground was too
dry for blowing and seeding grains In
most sections. The drying weather of
the last few weeks has practically ma
