When it is considered that the papers are full of accounts of ac cidents whereby men lose their live many of the accidents ap parently trivial tro the man who passes through three serious ones and comes out alive, must be re garded as a lucky fellow. Har ry Duffy, the genial hearted mil ler at Webster Mills, is just such a man. A few years ago, he be came tangled up in the machi nery at his mill and escaped by losing only part of the index fin ger of his right hand. Later he paid $75 for a cow at Aaron Rich ards' sale, and while taking her home, the rope attached to her and held by his hand became wrapped around the third finger of his left hand, and part of the finger was torn off. Of course it hurt, but it didn't kill him The other day as his son Herbert was passing the mill withthe au to truck, Harry thought to jump onto the running board and ride to the house. The machine was going just a little faster than Harry thought, and he fell be neath the truck, which passed over both legs injuring him se oereiy. While two canes come handy when he walks, he will soon be as good as ever. " A Prized Photograph. Mrs. B. A.

But Bill was built for business and made the wheels go round, and left a healthy fortune when they put him under ground He was always taking chances, paid a hundred for a bull. His neighbors called him crazy, but he left a stable full of cows that broke the record, making butter by the ton, an' Bill had his picture printed in the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had newfangled notions of making farming pay.- He even bought a fool machine to help him load hi3 hay. The neighbors fairly snorted when they saw the bloomin' thing: said Bill would never make jt work. . It wasn worm a ding! bill didn't say a single word, and didn't care a darn 'bout- what they said, fer slick as grease, his hay went in the barn and hour before a thun der storm came sailin' out that way and caught his neighbors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay. Bill's neighbors put their milk in cans.i and set 'em in a . tank. Bill skimmed his milk with a machine and turned it . with a crank. Smith chops his firewood with an ax. Bill used some gasoline and saws a hundred cords a day with an other blame machine. Today Bill's wife rides in a car and dresses up in silk. Smith's wife rides in a wagon and keeps on skimming milk.
