There is no period in the working f a crop that calls for a rush like odder pulliDg, and that time is dow It requires too much activity in urning quickly from one row to the ther, being that we always carry wo rows, for an old man to be a access at pulling fodder. It suits nd old man much better to hoe, so bat be can step and lean upon the ioe handle and rest and measure Lis hadow for the time of day and hink of the pot that is boiling and f how the milk is cooling at the pring and how be will be ready to o for it when the horn blows and e homeward makes his way. Yvu an't study in pulliDg fodder. Its p and down, across to the other row nd back agaiD, stumbling, if you on't look out, and ofttn the motions ive us vertigo, till, as for me, I am ot much on pulling fodder?but I sed to be. Yes, I mind me dow of the times rhen never a man could be found, rhite or black, that could turn me own in the fodder field. I thick I ather got a distaste for fondeiing rhen I wasab^ut thirty-three years Id. A good old neighbor, Bjb Innl'A* f in PiL'fi oil Viio uv.nuvi) uunu 1U JL ia<Tf uau un uio ?ams engaged and I proposed to do ir him what he would have gladly one for me under like circumstances -take my team and haul his fodder p from the field. It was nothing lore than a frolic for me in that ay aDd time. I soon had the mules itched, my big black whip looped n my wiist and cubing my hound up we started for Puekett'1 fodder eld There were bars in those davs. ather than gates, and while I stoped to let down a set to pass ia the , eld the pup had went off Doising round as all hounds will and quicker dan I could tell it he was cutting up be biggest rcuko3 down in a thicket had ever heard a puppy stir. I stened a moment and decided that 11 ly pup was getting something mere ban the pricks of briars and th it he j eeded help and needed it bad. I j ras active then aDd was soon bound i rg across the corn rows like a rub- j er ball in directiou of the thicket, j was soon bounding there?md ; ben I wasn't there. < There were snakes in those days? j nakes to burn?and there were a pecies called the "eoaehwbip" that rere a terror iu the land. That was rhat was the mft't-r with my pup. , 'he "coacbwbips"' bad him and what ; bey intended to do for him i'or en- j roacbing upon their playground .'as a plenty. One of them had I oiled itself around the dog's body a some three or four coils and the ! emuinder of itself it had reached j ut and grabbed a sapling?eoiliug : round it as tight as if it had bte i ! vine and growned there. Thus, i ou see, one of tbein had my pup j rehored fast to the sappling while i ne other one was preparing tj do j % cKi "WM\ 1090 MAIN 8TI Solicits a SI u the whipping act in grand style. [ They ODly seemed to be playing with j the pup at my arrival, getting ready j and laughiDg, as it were. The loose j one would 6tand off. and whirling i about as an old fashioned wagoner j would whirl his whip, it would cut the pup with the end of the tail as Rharnlv as a man could have done, *- * - - and the strange part was that the snake put in his licks just where he wanted them to fall. I peeped around a bush for a moment, and then says I, all to myself. 'Til break up this picnic, sure." I am sure the snakes heard me, for by their acts they as good as said: "I'll be hanged if you do!" Before I had time t> spit on my hands, or grab a rock or anything, and forgetting all about having my whip looped over my wiist, here they came. I saw at once that it was no bluff, They had business in their eyes and in their movements, too. A fellow thinks mighty fast at such times?he has to think fast?and the thought that struck me like a bolt of lightning was that they would soon have me in the same condition that thpv h?d the nun onlv a moment be j ? r - fore. You talk about activity. I was sure active in those day?, but never j iu my life did I turn and move as I j mjved that day. Across the field ; went I and across the field came the j snakes. I only hit the high places, j they seemed to not hit the ground at ; all, but, but to fairly fly. Ilelter, shelter, here we went; at the fence, j and over I went and over came the snakr; through a tree top with a scattering of limbs, but right at my heels came the snake. It was a fair I road of a hundred yards to Bob Puckett's gate. "We were at the I gate in a fly, but I didn't have any time to examine gates past I went ; like whirlwind and and on came the snake like a cyclone. I didn't have ; time to see the Pucketts, but the : Pucketts got a glimpse of me, and so did their doge, and here they : came. It was a clear track and a fair race for a good quarter to where U mo/Ua o OCffoirs film ThpTP i ' IUC 1UOU Luauo ? WUIU 1 u t u< ? M v?

Dick Holland lives somewhere in Texas now, and I guess the reason I like bim so well aud hold him in my i i beart as one of the sweetest memor- j ies of Pike is because Le never told | 1 it on me and always swore to the j Pucketts that a 6nake did have me i when I run into his aims, but that I 1 he knocked him off.

Republicans to Keep Guard in the Blue Grass State-Plan to Employ Deputy Marshals on Election Day?Scheme Denounced by Senator Blackburn. Waf-biogton, Sapt. 7 ?Whether the Kentucky legislature onacts a | fair election law or not, the R^publii can national committee has determined upon a course that will ineu e : a fair count of the returns at the election in November.

Members of the committee aseert that the R publicans are certain to elect John W. Yerkes as g ivernor and that if they can make the count fair the state will give its electorial vote to President McKinley. S?nator Blackburn says he ba9 been aware of the plan for some rime, and characterizes it S3 a brazpn attempt to steal the electoral vofe of [ Kentucky. lie asserts that he has ' warded the D mocrats of the designs I of the R publican committee, an 1 that he will return to K-ntucky in a few days in order to be preeent at the opening of the campaign, so that the Democrats will be certain to take steps to exploit thoroughly the danger impending. According to Senator Blackburn the Democrats of West Virginia, Maryland and Missouri will have a similar condition to face. He points to the fact that the congressional elections will be held incidentally with the general election, which makes the plan of the Republican managers possible.
