Jake Leis, proprietor of the Leis
garage in Elbow Lake, recently
had a peculiar experience. While
repairing a bucking Lizzy some
wise cracker told him good one,
he laughed and swallowed one Of
the cotter pins he had in his
mouth. He suffered severe pains
and was told by a doctor that he
must 60 to hospital to have it re-
moved. However, Mr.. Leis de-
cided there must be an easier way
and with his mechanical ability he
rugged UP an outfit to draw the
cotter pin from his throat. 1t was
made as follows:
At the garage he connected up
two automobile storage batteries
with an electro magnet. An elect
70 magnet is composed of a soft
iron core about which a winding
of wire. When an electric current
is passed through this wire, it
makes a strong magnet of the
core. The magnet is so powerful
that it will draw steel to it from
considerable distance.
Jake then took a valve stem,
curved it so that it would go
down the throat, cleaned it off and
attached it to the electromagnetic.
He turned on the current and then
worked the valve stem down his
throat. He was beginning to be
dubious about the success of his
venture when he heard a click in
his throat. Removing his throat
from around the valve stem he
found the cotter key clinging to
the end of the magnetized valve
stem. To say that he was pleased
would be putting it mildly.

Paris apartment, was talking about

Zone night at the Ambassadors
in Cannes I heard a lovely girl hiss
into the ear of a white-haired old
boy with a decoration in his button
hole:
+ Traitor! Deceiver! Don Juan
I'm done with you forever. Never

'The old boy said mildly, whats
the matter now?'

Jerry Turner, professional rat
tlesnake hunter with a record of
more than $4,000 captures, all
made in the vicinity of his home
near Plainview, lies in the Colonial
hospital dangerously i'll as result
of a rattlesnake bite received Sun
day afternoon near Beaver Creek.
Using forked stick, he had pin
ned large snake to the ground,
and then grasped it behind the
head. AS he attempted to drop it
into sack, the snake twisted and
jabbed his fangs deep into the in
dex finger of Turner's right hand.
Realizing that his predicament
was serious, Turner sucked all the
virus that he could from the
wound. He then mounted his
horse and rode to Plainview. A
physician there opened the wound
and brought him to the hospital
at Winona.
He was given the new anti-ven-
ON treatment for snake bites. Ply
sicians said that although his con-
dition is serious it is thought that
he will survive. His arm is bad
