night Mr Winfree finished his own crop The engine was pulled into the shed but the separator was left outside until the next morning Early Saturday morning Mr Winfree hred up the engine and with the assistance of a negro boy named Hewdy Wagoner backed it out from under the long shed in which the machine was kept and started it towards the separator to couple on to it and pull it back into the shed the threshing season being over Mr Winfree was standing on the engine which was backing down upon the sep- Â¬ arator It began to go faster than intended and threatened to become unmanageable Mr Winfree sa it rapidly approaching the separa- Â¬ tor table and realized that he was in danger He tried to work the brakes but failed to stop it and then grabbed for the lever controlling the throttle In his excitement he pulled it the wrong way and threw the throttle wide open With a piling the engine shot against the separator a few feet away Then was no way to dodge no place to jump and nothing to prevent the awful fate that befell him He was caught between the engine and the separator and horribly crushed about the chest The negro boy bravely rau to his assistance and turned the lever back causing the engine to reverse The helpless body of the unfortunate man fell to the ground and as soon as help could be called was taken into the house Mr Winfree spoke once or twice after reaching the

A glance at any of the journals ad Â¬ vertising for tenders for public con- Â¬ tracts will reveal to the studentsome rather curious Undertakings For in Â¬ stance quite recently the authorities at the Marston Green cottage homes for children near Birmingham advertised-for tenders for the cutting of the childrens hair during 12 months the hair pf each child to be operated upon once per month during the said A lump net sum had to be period named for the work and tenders had to be in by a specified date A very similar tender was that re Â¬ quired some time ago by another local authority for the shaving of the aged inmates of the workhouse the con- Â¬ tractors having to guarantee the sup ply of skilled assistants who would not damage the checks and chins of the venerable paupers whilst performing the contracted work To have ones chimney swept by contract would seem to some people as a ratlicr unusual proceeding yet we find the Marston Green people of whom mention has been made above demanding tenders for the sweeping of certain chimneys three times per annum the soot to be left upon the ground though for what purpose this latter condition is made the writer is not sufficiently versed in chimney sweeping tactics1 to know A large London vestry isdesirous of entering into a contract with a firm for the removal of G5 tons of old tins containing household refuse collected by the

advertisement and clerical charges would more than counterbal- Â¬ ance such hire but evidently the ad Â¬ vertisers know their business best and hence the advertisement in question Perhaps however the most curious contract on record ithe one referred to in tho following advertisement which the writer copied from an American journal some time ago It ran thus Co Contracts wanted by of the western Pacific states for the writing of verses advertising their goods during flie coming season Con- Â¬ tracting poets to submit samples of their wares and to accompany same with declaration on oath that

Book Keeplng nbrtbaud rjMh0 Seven experienced teachers each one a specialist in jtuUook giving Wrltf for t m them However that may be after we had called upon Pete to stop we thought we had done all that etiquette as Dick called it required and we began to pump bullets at hlni Pretty soon one of the bullets struck his horse and it tumbled over Pete knew there wasn t anv use running after that so he lit a cigarette he was a sort of a dude in some ways and waited for us to come up Guess weve got you this time Pete says Dick Looks that way replies Pete atf calm and unconcerned as if he didnt nave any part in the show What is the next thing on the programme The nearest trees were about half way up the pine hills and we allowed the first thing to be done was to take Pete to where the trees were After we reach a tree we wont have much trouble finding out what to do next Mr Pete Lansing said one of the boys In an ugly kind of way The man who spoke had lost three or four good horses that season and was feeling kind of s6re over it but Pete looked quite hurt at being talked to in thiskind of fash Â¬ ion and Dick Evans spoke up Thatll do for you Tom Thats no kind of a way to speak to a man who is almost dead But our troubles had only begun Petes horse was dead and he swore that he wasnt going to walk to the pine Nobody ever heard of a man hills tramnlncr a mile to his own hanging lou fought me fair and square says Pete and 1 dont luck on that but I aint going to hoof it across this prairie A man in my position ought to have a little politeness shown him Jim Haly who runs the Crescent baloon happened to have a deck of cards in his pocket and he proposed that we throw around and the low man We all give up his horse to Pete agreed to this and Pete being in otje way our guest ve let him deal That made a delay for Pete dealt himself the low hand and as he didnt have any horse we had to deal again One of the boys got stuck this time so Pete took his horse and we htarled out for the pine hills It was pretty dark when we reached the hills but one of theparty got out a rope and we thought the business would be over in a few minutes But here Pete made another kick For a man Mho was going to be hanged he was the most particular bothersome fool I ever ran across I dont want to be hung right here alongside of the road where everybody will see me Take me a little ways into the woods and do the job there But we want your body to be nn example says Dick Evans sort of doubtfully That made Pete mad Example he snarled I take a horse you boys catches me and strings me up So fiir all right But I dont wnnt my bodj uncd as the tag end of a Sunday school lesson Besides what kind of a thing would that be to show strangers thinking to invest their money in the grow- Â¬ ing txmn of Diamond Center You fel- Â¬ loes aint got any patriotism Ex Â¬ says ample Example be hanged Pete scornfully There seemed to be n lot of sense in what Pete said so we pushed on about a hundred yardB into the woods It was pretty dim outside by this time and In among the trees it was really dark but Pete was riding in the middle of the party and it didnt look as if there was any way in which he could escape Pretty soon wo reached a tree with big boughs hanging low down just the tree for what we wanted I guess this will do all right1 says Dick who was riding ahead We stopped and one of the boys threw the end of the rope over the bough of the tree while I fixed the noose about Petes neck Pelc had been riding with his head down as if he was thinking pretty hard and not paying much attention to what was goiug on but when he felt the rope about IiIb neck ho looked up sorrowfully and dis gusted rather than angry I guess that this is the first time any of you boys hriye ever taken part in a festivity of this kind saye he sort of sarcastic like Wo allowed it was t 4Ve sva goodhing you have So Pete dropped off his programme horsie and went over td a little bush a few feet away from the tree We hud thrown the rope over Then he began to pray dont claim to be an au thority on prajcrs but I have always said that was no slouch of a prayer Peto began with tho Diamond Center camp and recommended every man Woman and child In It to tnq ioru Most of them netded It but It made a long prayer Then he prayed for tho sheriff of the county and after that for the governor of tho state From the governor he went to tho president Then we thought he was through and everybody drew a long breath and prepared to get down to tho regular business of the meeting But Pete opened his eyes and looked at us reproachfully and then started in as If he was just getting his second wind The queen of England the em- Â¬ peror of Germany all the bg foreign ducks Pete could think of were re- Â¬ membered to the Lord and then just as we were getting so impatient we couldnt thave stood It much longer Pete polished off his prayer with a general sort of blessing which took in all the parties he hadnt mentioned by name It was a good prayer and covered tho ground but it took an aw ful long time There didnt seem to be anything to Interfere with the work we had as sembled together to perform as Pete styled It in his prayer when all of a sudden Pete cried out My God boys The woods arc on 1 Â¬ We all was silent at thit for wo had forgotten all about that part of the prayer TUTTS Liver PILLf

descendants to the present day have occupied prominent positions in civil life and in relation to the in- Â¬ dustrial arts of the country Of lliief early mechanician who was the Tu Â¬ bal Cain of New England Mr Lewis re- Â¬ in his history of Lynn- Mass Joseph Jenks deserves to marks be held in perpetual remembrance in American history as being the first founder who worked in brass and iron By his on the western continent hands the first models wero made and the first castings taken of many do- Â¬ mestic implements and iron tools The first article said to have been cast was a small Iron pot capable of con- Â¬ taining about a quart As early as May 1G55 a patent was awarded Joseph Jenks of Lynn Mass for seven years for improve- Â¬ ment in the manufacture of scythes for the moro speedy cutting of The innovation consisted in grass giving greater length and thinness to the blade and in welding a bar of iron upon the back to stiffen and strengthenitas in the modern scythe This was an essential improvement upon the old form of English scythe which was a very clumsy instrument short and thick like the bush or bramble scythe In fact but little radical change has been made since in the form of this agricultural imple Â¬ ment Joseph Jenks died in 1G83 Of his sons Joseph the elder after living for some timo in Lynn Mass removed to Pawtucket 11 1 where he erected a forge and two other sons went we believe to Boston where Samuel Jenks Son carried on the blacksmith business on Gardners Wharf previous to 1789 and John Jenks had a store at No 39 State street at the same time

the mouth of each firmly closed by a membrane of greater or less thickness formed by the drying of the animal slime This had probably occurred soon after removal from the moisture of the beach and the little inhabitant of the shell dying the gases of decomposition had quite filled its internal space On exerting a little pressure by squeezing the shell between two blocks of wood quite a loud explosion was produced the fragments of tho shell being thrown several feet Subsequently on try ing the experiment out of a dozen shells only two failed to explode The conditions most favorable to
