Ora Toekey wa% quite seriously
hurt list Sunday morning while
operating a trap at the bluerock
shoot. He was standing near the
trap, thinking he was in the clear,
when it was sprung, the hea/y
arm catching him under the knee
cap, making a very bad wound.
It toolc about a dozen stitches to
close the wound, and it is feared
that the knee will be stiff after the
wound is healed, but it is hoped
that no such result may occur.
A Missouri editor, who was
asked by his son to help him with
some problems assigned to him by
the teacher, says he can't see how
a kid learns anything who is sent
home with problems something
like this one: “If it takes a 4
months old woodi>ecker with a
rubber bill nine months and thir
teen days to peck a hole through
a cypress log that is large enough
to make 117 shingles, and it takes
165 shingles to make a bundle
worth 98 cents per bundle, how
long will it take a cross-eyed grass
hopper with a cork leg to kick all
the seeds out of adill pickle?”
