"Will Owen lived in the Perry home, for two years, while James B. was cofcnty treasurer, and lived with his ffcmily in Woodstock. . Remember that big lawn, Will? I cut that lawn for you every two weeks at 10c a cut. By the 4% of July, I had 90 cents. I bought fire crackers, and tummie junk, and was I sick? Never enjoyed 9fr cents so much in my life.: TJt took half a day to mow that tall grass, but that was in the early nineties.

To resume : When Tony Englen arrived home in the early h6urs that morning, he heard a noise in his woodshed. ; Stepping into a shadow, he watted to see what was going on. ^Presently out stepped Hank, loaded to th,e chin with nicely savfcd and split fire wood. Mr. Englen remained hidden, while the old man, totterej across the back yard intohis own yard, and repeated the effort." When Hank again came out of the shed, Tony stepped out and asked Hank, wl^r he, didn't take the wood that wag nearer to his house ? Hank said, "Tain't sawed." : What would you do in a case of that kind? Put up a squawk?, Not Mr. Engeln. He went into his saloon, and he and Hank had a few drinks. (No. 2) With all due apology to Woodstock, their artesian w»ter sure has a (let's be nice now) rotten taste. You know that nice park they have there? Well about forty-five years ago, Hank was delivering one of his breath-taking, laughter-bttsting, speecHes from a platform in the park in Woodstock. Hank arose to gr<eat heights of eloquence, laughter and tears of mirth, such as no one but Hank could conjure. " Mr. McLean began to* sputter a bitj and a kindly politician on the platform placed a pitcher of that water and a glass on' the table in front of the orator. Hank - finished a great climax in his speech, and as an emphasis of pause, filled the glass, and took a swallow of Woodstock's famous water. A horrified expression crept over his face. He gasped and in loud whisper asked, "What is that?" Tha chairman leaned forward and said, "Water, Mr..McLean, Watef." "Well, I'll be gawd damned," said* Hank, relieved. "So that's water." Ladies and gentlemen this is the first time X have tasted water in fifty years and if water tastes like tbat, I'll be gawd damned if I ever taste it again." His audience climbed on benches, and laughed and wept with joy. Don't you think that Mr. McLean paid his way? FRANK W. BENNETT. 1 y- v 3 * '% * 'I t ")*m * -m# > •*..

QUEER COMA GRIPS -WOMAN FOR 7 YEARS Eats and Reads, but Brain It Still Affected. Westfteld, Maas. -- Helen ', ionise Buachmann, twenty-seven, once nationally known as "the coma girl," con tlnues to live in a strange world--sey en years three months and nine days after the tragic accident that destroyed certain brain cells and cast her into a profound slumber. Not since this attractive brunette, then a student at Lake Erie College for Women In Palnesvllle, Ohio, wsis struck down by a bus January 15, 1928, has she enjoyed normal life. For more than 300 days after the accident she lay in a comatose state, an enigma to the specialists who Inter ested themselves in her case Not even violin music, to which doctors finally resorted as they groped for a cure, roused her from her lethargy. For two or three years she was semiconscious. Today she appeared normal physically, but the brain cells affected by her long-ago Injury evidently have not knit ted properly, for at times she sits In • partial coma. She eats well, sleeps well, listens to the radio, and sometimes reads books and magazines. There are occasions when her reactions to conversation Hwith relatives are virtually normal. Rarely does she leave her comfort able home on elm shaded Pearl street in one of the city's old residential sec tions save to accompany her mother. Mrs. Emma E. Buschmann, or an uncle on short motor trips. " ; Specialists had believed that Some outside Influence, such as sad or sweet melodies as played on a violin, might suddenly "snap her out" of her deep sleep. But nothing of the sort ever happened. Her climb back toward normalcy, still. incomplete, has been gradual From constant coma she graduated to a stage i of lucid intervals. She opened her eyes but could not speak. I^ater she was able to move her arms and legs. Still later she regained her voice. Meanwhile, she graduated from liquids to semi solids and finally to solids. Helen's mother, her sister Chris tine, a Detroit dietitian, and her broth er August, professor of German at Bates college, all hope that she will fully recover.* sobm d&y Uncommon Sense'UK***. 5".
