Newbury, / think it was, who pinned
his faith and his galluses with a six
penny nail owing to the loss OF both
rear bottoms ? HIS team became
frightened and his sudden dash for
the reins caused both his faith and
his nail to give way He found him
self in running fight with going
team in one hand, departing apparel
in the other. The team was recover
ed an hour ater."-John Quill. Yes
we recall the incident, and the Yer
monter. The participant in the
affair is alive and active. His esca-
pade has brought him notoriety, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Hud-
son Bay to the Gulf Of Mexico, even

made him famous twas mostly a

that his pants buttons are sewed on
now with strong linen thread and his
suspenders are tugs from an ola
harness.

and that the harvest is ended, when
the Nellie ellis announced that the

seems long time to wait before
these welcome visitors come to New
bury again, but while we are shovel
ing snow and saving wood, in order
to keep warm we can cheer our spirits
IN with the thought that this COM
panv which has found such a warm
place in the esteem of this commun-

longer That is what seems to be
troubling Maurice.
