THE COLUMBIAN,
A LIVELY
VACATION
" T FIND that 1 uiu not. going to
I spend my vacation this year at
Farmer Haywood's, up in Pennsyl
vania, as I did last year," said John
Gilbert, the traveling grocery-man,
"and I am sorry.
"1 had a real lively, nice time at the
Haywood farm last season. I hadn't
been there more than two hours when
couple of jealous pigs got into a fight
in LtiA rinrtf vurd. Thu fnrtncr'li 12-
year-boy and the nine-year-old son of
a neighbor were playing mnmblety-
peg- in the yard at the time the strife
began. They sat on the ground near
the well curb.
"The battle of the pigs scared the
neighbor's boy so that he jumped up,
climbed on the curb, presumably to get
a place of safety, and promptly tum
bled over it and into the well, which
was 15 feet deep, with about four feet
of water at the bottom.
"Farmer Havwood's boy set up a
yel'i and, for fear that no one heard
j him, let the bucket down into the well,
went down the rope like a monkey,
grabbed the neighbor's boy by the hair,
and held his head above the water, yell
ing like a Comanche Indian all the
while. Farmer Haywood'shired man
heard him and rescued both the Lids,
while the family danced about the well
and hollered and wrung its hands.
"The hired man had been working
in the garden when the yells of the
boy summoned him. He left the'gar
' den gate open in his haste.
I "The battling pigs ceased battling
nnd promptly hurried into the garden
through the open gate, and by the time
the hired mnn had safely landed the
' two kids from the depths of the well,
the pigs had got away with nearly the
I whole of Farmer Haywood's crop of
i early peas, and tramped recognition
entirely out of his entire setting of
I tomato plants. When Fnrmer Hay
I wood came in and heard what had been
going on he was surprised.
" 'Why,' raid he, 'there hain't no-
body ever fell into that well before,1
nor even thought o' dnin' of it! And
this is the first time pigs ever sp'iled
my peas and tomnttas crops.'
"A day or so afterward, Farmer Hay
wood was out plowing corn, with one
horse to the plow. The 12-year-old
son who had gone down into the well
after the neighbor's boy was driving
the horse. I was following behind
them, gathering worms to go bobbing
for catfish with.
"By and by the horse stepped into a
yellow jackets' nest. Some of the hot-
ended occupants of the nest came out
at,d rested on the horse. Instnntlv
he be Clin to kirk nnd souenl. nnd then
I i. .. ........ . i. r. . i j t A
uwtij lie wriii ni us um uriu us litfcb
as he could tear, taking the plow and
the boy with him. Farmer Haywood
stood open-moutbed nnd speechless
a moment, and then exclaimed:
"'It beats tarnation; I've plowed
this field for goin' on to nigh 40 year,
nnd I never knowed it to have a yaller'
jackets' nest in it before!'
"Then the fnrmer nnd I started in'
the wake of the horse nnd the boy.
The latter had held on to the lines
until he wns drnpged half-way across
the cornfield, mowing down rows of
corn like a cyclone, when he let go.
"The horse cleared two fences in
his later course, parting from tho
plow at the first one, and dashed into
Bn lnolosu near the house where
some cows vrere standing. In that
Inclosure was another well, the cub
of winch was not as secure on its
base as it might hnve been. ,
"The sudden appearance of the
runaway horse among them scared
the cows. One cow ran ngainst the
well curb and knocked it over. Tills
' permitted a frightened yearling
heifer to back into the top of the ex
posed well. Her hind quarters went
down, leaving her hanging hy her
forelegs id the top of the well.
"Farmer Haywood's 15-year-old
daughter wns just putting the churn
dog to work on the machine at the
bnck of the house when the horse,
still ridden by n persistent nnd pene
trative yellow-jacket or two, dashed',
in among the cow.s, and she saw the
disaster his sudden nppenrance had
caused. She ran to the cowyard. and
grabbing by the horns the heifer
that hung in the well, tugged away
nt them with the laudnble intention
of lifting her out of her perilous sit
uation. "When Farmer Haywood and I
came panting on the scene the heif
er had just made her descent into
the well. With the help of the hired
mnn nnd the farmer's oldest boy,
Jim, the heifer wns, with ropes and
tnckle, at last hoisted from the well,
n little disfigured, but still chewing
her cud. The farmer's daughter went
back to her churning. The churn
dog, probably in attempting to get
out nnd sec what the excitement in
the cow ynrd wns nil about, had
leaped over the side of the machine
nnd hanged himself by the rope thnt
held him.
" 'Why!' said Farmer Haywood, 'I've
had more'n 20 churn dogs on this
fnrm, and I never kuowed one to do
aetch a thing ns thnt before!'
"Farmer Haywood had a blooded
bull. A trout stream ran through the
pasture where the bull was boss. A
man, supposed to be from Scrnnton,
sought that troivt brook early one
morning, although anglers were dis
tinctly and emphatically warned by
many notices posted along it that
trespassing on that brook was for
bidden and would be punished to the
full extent of the law,
"Hy and by he heard a rumbling'
noise behind him. He looked that
way and saw Farmer Haywood's bull
BLOOMSBURG. PA
coming for htm, head down and tall
up, and not 50 feet away. The fisher,
man dashed across the brook and, as
the bull kept right on, concluded not
to try ped with the animal, but
shinned up a small chestnut tree at
the brookside.
"The bull pawed dirt and roared,
nd showed no disposition to go
away. Owing to the notices on the
trees along the brook, the Scrnnton
man. 1 suppose, did not care to holler
for help, but, after being kept on
his perch for two hours by the bull,
whose patience was only cfpialed
by his fierceness, the fisherman evi
dently concluded that he would pre
fer getting caught by the farmer t
being treed indefinitely by the bull,
for he began to yell for some one to
come and rescue him. I had rcmnined
among the berry bushes, but did not
feel eqtinl to the task of rescuing tbe
man from the bull.
"After a quarter of an hour or so,
though, his yelling was heard by
Farmer Haywood's son Jim, who was
on his way to a back lot, and Jim
went to the aid of the treed fisher
man. The attention of the bull was
no sooner drawn from tbe fisherman
by the approach of the farmer's son
than the fisherman dropped down out
of the tree and made tracks for more
peaceful territory, without waiting to
be identified by the farmer's son or
to give thnnk.s to him for his rescue,
"The farmer's son, with the inten
tion of overhauling the trespasser
and marking him for future refer
ence ns nn exhibit in a lawsuit, start
ed on a run after him. Tho bull,
undoubtedly mad at Jim for spoiling
its fun, pursued the farmers son.
"The trespassing fisherman got to
the fence and over it only a jump or
two abend of Jim, and tore down the
road. Jim would have overtaken
him all right, but just an he was In
the act of swinging himself over the
fence the bull came up, projected him
self against Jim just below where
his hind suspender buttons were, and
sent him clear to 1 he other side of
the rood, like some missile shot from
a catapult. Jim landed in the brush
and by the time I got down there and
helped him to get himself together
nnd find the road, the Suranton man
was out of sight. The bull was graZ'
ing in the lot, as If nothing hud hap
pened.
"My time wns up n day or so after
that, and I had to leave Farmer Hay'
wood's, and I was sorry. There
wasn't any grent demonstration by
the folks nt the farm over my going,
but I didn't think anything of thnt,
of course, nnd. having made up my
mind to quarter myself nt the farm
again this summer, and being up in
that vicinity last week, I thought I
would drive down and make my ar
rangements with the farmer for my
prospective stay.
"I was within a mile or so of the
farm when I came to a big black hog
lying in the sun at the edge of tho
road. He grunted lazily as my horse
passed along by him, and bis irdo
lent content wns so aggravating that
I bit him a cut with my whip.
"The hog jumped up, and with a
surles of loud snorts went galloping
down the road ahead of me. His
appearance was formidable, and it
wus not strange that a horse draw
ing a spring wagon with a . mnn
humped up on the seat, and coming
from the other direction, became
frightened at the noisy beast. The
horse reared ip, and turned square
around in the road, upsetting the
wagon and its contents In the ditch,
nnd then ran nway down the road
at the top of its 'Speed.
"I reined up, jumped out of my
wngon, nnd ran forward to see how
the driver of the runaway horse had
fared. He rose from the wreck of
the wagon, feeling of his head, and
with yellow streaks of something
running down his clothes. As I drew
near him I recognized Farmer Hay
wood, nnd immediately begun to
recollect.
" 'Why, Fnrmer,' said T, 'has this
sort of thing been going on ever
since?'
"The farmer recognized me, and to
my surprise began to swear, and by
and by he roared out:
" 'No, it hain't been goin' on ever
since! Every thin' has been as peace
ful as"" lambs ever sence the day you
went away last year, nnd now you
only jest how yourself in the neigh
borhood, nnd a hoss o' mine that
never shied at anythln' on earth be
fore gits scared at a tarnation old
black hog, spills me in the ditch,
breaks my wagon, smashes more than
20 dozen o' eggs I wus takin' to town
to git store goods with, and then
run away, and moro than likely '11
sheer 'Mainly and the folks to death
when he tears up to the farm nnd
stops if he ever does stop, which
is tarnation doubtful, the way he Is
goin'. What you got ag'ln our folks,
unyliow?'
"Then I saw heaps of broken eggs
on the ground. Farmer Haywood
hud been badly mixed up with them
in the tumble in the ditch. And be
fore 1 could find words to express my
surpri.se nt the farmer's greeting und
sympathize with him, he resumed:
"'If you're thlnkin' o' stayin'
around he)e, he exclaimed, 'jest let
me know now, nnd I'll sell the farm
and move out west, 'cause there
won't be a critter left onto it, and life
won't be safe with our folka if you're
anywhere nigh!'
"And without waiting to hear any
word from me, Furmer Haywood
started on a run down the road on
the trail of his horse, bedding yolks
of eggs and bits of egg shell at every
jump. I turned my horse round nnd
drove bnck to the railroad Rtatiou.
"So I find I'm not going to spend
my vacation at the Haywood farm,
up in Pennsylvania, this year, and
I'm sorry." N. Y, Sun. ,

Judge's Salary Bill.
John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia,
one of the highest legal authorities in
Pennsylvania, declares that the bill
passed by the last Legislature increas
ing the salaries of Judges of County
and State courts, applies to all Judges
in office at present, as well as in fu
ture. The question regarding the
provisions of the law has been much
discussed, and it was generally held to
apply to judges elected subsequent to
its enactment.
Mr. Johnson is of the opinion tha
the article of the State constitution
which makes it imperative upon the
State Legislature to provide adequate
compensation, for the judges of the
different courts refeis to the present
case rather than that article, which
says that no salary of a public officer
can be increased during his term.
The ques'.ion is, "Is a judge a public
officer in the sense referred to in the
constitution?
If the judges, who aie experienced
on the bench, cannot be benefited by
the recent law Mr. Johnson is of the
opinion that the present law puts a
piemium on the inexperienced judge.
