Well, the first night they took me out to milk they steered me up against the bum side o' the cow. I'm purty game myself, an' I didn't want to quit, but she was too good for me.

She kept me busy for about five minutes, and then I went to my corner an4 said I had enough. Say, the whole push had been leanin' on the fence laughin' at me till they cried. I guess they had more fun around that place while I was there than they ever had before. I stood it for about ten days, helpin' em work in the fields, gettin' all and I was the boob. What do you think? The second day I was there I goes out in the field where they was cuttin' down oats with one o' them bindin' machines, and 'Lias asked me to go back to the barn and ask Uncle Matt if he had a left-handed monkeywrench.

How was I to know? I ain't up on monkey-wrenches. Gee, I went drillin' way back to the barn through the hot sun, and when I sprung the left-handed monkeywrench on the uncle it made a horrible hit with him. He hollered around till I got kind o' sore. Then he went In the house and told them and they all had a fit about It. But you ought o' seen 'Lias when ha come in at night.

Page 316. "The Thomas Family," by Luke Thomas. "Philip Thomas came from Wales and settled in Maryland about 1850. Records do not show how many children he had but there were four boys, one of whom was named Tristam. Tristam Thomas had a son named Stephen, who went to what is now South Carolina, in about 17o0, and settled on the Pedee river, near Cheraw.

He had a numerous family, some of whom went to Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky. Among Stephens children were Tristam, William and John. Tristam was a general in the revolutionary war." This article gives much valuable data of the early Thomas family and descendants of John mentioned above who came to Indiana, settling near Fountain City, some moving to Grant county.

Franklin County Records I Note 251 In looking over records of Franklin county, Indiana, I found a statement that William George, one of the first settlers of the county, went to Bartholomew county snd died there. As some may be interested in this record, should like to make this correction: William George came to where Oldenburg, Franklin county, now stands in ISnf. He sold his property in Franklin county in 3S41 or 1842 and moved to Arkansas, where he lived until he died, about the vear 1S45 or 1S46. MRS.

His grandmother was Catherine Arnold Miller, a sister my great-grandmother, Nancy Arnold Ross. There were two uncles in this family, Thompson and James, who moved to Hancock county. Indiana. Descendants in this county may know of this record. MRS.

Miller and Hall, the latest sensational developments in his own private life. So far, Artie has related with gusto his success at a church social and a very conservative poker party.

Soon after tie tells the boys of his meeting a new sweetheart, Jdamie, and his subsequent Lothariolike conquests. Artie confesses that he and Mamie have quarreled owing to excessive jealousy on Artie's part. Soon ufter the rift in the lute, however, Artie accidentally meets Mamie ami diplomatically re-establishes liimsclf in her jood graces. It looks like they are in. love urith, each other.

Artie gives his timid friend. Miller, a touch of high life by taking him to ee Mamie. Miller is impressed. VERY breeze that came in the open windows was soft as Telvet. The warm sunshine had tem pered it until the last sting: of winter was gone.

Miller and Artie had removed their coats and unbuttoned, their vests. They worked listlessly and occasionally one of them would lean back and gaze sleepily out at the walls and roofs and the distant ribbon of lake, now dotted here and there with moving i- pecks. "A man ought to- he pinched for workin' a day like this," Artie finally observed. "Isn't it delightful?" said Miller. "This is the time of year when a man feels like getting out into the country." "That ain't no lie, neither.

Von don't see very many Johnny-jump-upB growin' along Dearborn street, do'OU?" "Do you expect to get away from town often this summer?" "Gee, I tan't go very far. Since I've started plantin' my stuff in the hank and plunkin' in a few cases every month on the buildin' and loan game, I've got to play purty close to my bosom, I'll tell you those. Night before last, though, I. was fixin' it up with Mame to take a little run over to St. Joe or up to Milwaukee on the boat.

The Broadway flame still scorches. Bebe Daniels seems to be the victim of an accident these days with the regularity of the Prince of Wales falling off his horse. I've been wondering where the prize fighters retire to these days. There are no more saloons.

They 'leaned me in two days, but then, as they say down on State street, I wasn't very dirty when I landed." "If I'm going to take a vacation," said Miller, "I'd rather get right out into the country. Don't you like the country?" "Well, I ain't dead sure about that. 1 'spose the country's all right to a man that's lived there, but you take some wise boy that was brought up in town, and you throw him out on a farm, and he's sunk.

You've seen them boys around the union station comin' in with their red-topped boots and high hats and paper grips well, when you see them falling' into coal-holes snd bein' snaked out by fako hotel-runners you think they're purty new, don't you? Well, say. there ain't one o' them that's half the horrible mark that some Chicago dub is when he goes up against that farm game. If he don't look like a yellow clarinet in twenty-four hours you can mark me down for a sucker. They can't sprint; none o' that happy-childhood-days-down-on-the-farm business on me. I've been next, I'll tell you those." "I didn't know that you were ever on a farm," said Miller laughing.

"I was there once, all right, and I got it throwed into me so hard I was good and sore, too. Four years ago this summer that was before my lather died my Uricle Matt, that's got a farm a little ways from Galesburg. wrote me to come down and visit 'em. The old gentleman asked me if I wanted to go, and I said, 'Sure thing. I'd been readin' them con storybooks about pickin" flowers and goin' fishin' and dubbin' around the woods out in the country, and I thinks to myself: 'This is a cinch.

I'll go down there and dazzle them So I went down there, and a cousin o' mine. Spencer Blanchard. met me at the train with a fliv and drove me out. I got there in time for supper, and they all give me a glad band and jollied me up. and I kind o' thought that first night that I'd be a warm proposition.

About the time they got the dishes washed up the uncle says to me, 'I guess we'd better turn 'What do you mean?" I 3ays; 'go to 'Sure says he. We've got to get all kinds of an early start in the morning. 1 couldn't stand for that. I put. up a holler right at the jump.

I told em I was just usually beginnin' to enjoy myself about nine o'clock in the evening. They said I could set up if I wanted to, and then they ducked and turned in. Well. I didn't want to turn in. but there was nothin' to keep me up.

I set out, by the pump for a little while smokin' and listenin' to them katydids gettin-in their work, and then I went in the house and went to bed, but I couldn't get to sleep before midnight. It. seemed to me I'd been poundin' my ear about ten minutes when somebody walloped me in the back and hollered, 'Get Well, I set up in bed, and honest. Miller, this ain't no kid it was dark outside.

"I gues3 people In the i.ounrry often get up that early in the summer time, especially In the. busy season," said Miller. "They'd never got me up, I tell you those, only that fresh cousin o' mine grabbed me by the leg and pulled me out. Oh he's a playful guy all right. Well, I put on my clothes and went downstairs, dead on my feet.

You see, I was shy four or five hours' sleep. When they see me they all give me the horselaugh even the hired girl. My aunt asked me what time I got up when I was in town, and I said never before 7 o'clock, and then Ihev all yeller1 again. They 3eemed to think I was blooey. Everything done or said they give me the ha-ha "Of course life in the city is much different," said Miller.

"Well, I guess yes. I know this town like a book. I can begin at the first card and go through the deck, but out there they lose me. They had me lookin' like a sap all the time. The worse one was the hired hand.
