Why, playing detective among the farmers. I've been in it up to the neck and just run back to town to till up on champagne and lobster. See this nickel badge? Observe that It's marked 'A. D. A.'

He takes him for a greater man than Taft I've known it for years, bnt I never took to the game until last spring.

Burt Brown, a jouug man who resides at Gum Leg, in the county of Young Harris, Ga., has had an experience similar to that undergone by the prophet Jonah, who remained for mauy hours in a whale's belly after being swallowed by the great fbh. In stead of being in a whale's belly, Burt Brown was in the belly of a male, and he remained there six hours, and still lives to tell the tale. Burt Brown's novel experience was the result of a practical joke played on him by half dozen companions All of them wer<* drinking, and it is said that Bart Brown was practically overcome by the ''Mountain Dew" he had been imbibing. As the party passed down the road near Gum Log one of them noticed the carcass of a large mule which had just died by the road side. The mule was called "Old Hump Back," and had carried the mail from Brasstown to Young Harris for seven years. Burt Brown collapsed as he and his friends passed "Old Hump Back's" carcass. As Brown fell one of th? narfv enir<yoat-pH t.haf, Via Via r?nh in M-?a carcass of tho mule and sewed up. The suggestion appealed to the humor of the drinkers, and they went to work with knives and soon had ''Old Hump Backj' prepared for the reception of Btown. The unconscious man was then placed in the carcass and the skin sewed up. Brown came to after being in the mule about four hours and began to utter screams which had a gruesome onnnd nnminor frnm a mnlp Spv ?fe, ? ... eril persona who passed were neaily frightened out of their wita by the screams which Brown, escased in "Old Hump Back's" carcass, uttered, and they ran for dear life. At last two men passed who were not easily frightened and they decided to investigate. They soon found that there was a man in the mule's body, and after they cut the stitches Brown crawled out, bloody from head to foot, but cold, sober and badly frightened. Brown swear9 he has gone on the water wagon for keeps, but vows to get even with his chums who sewed him up in "Old Hump Back." He says that he had just the same [experience as Jonah, only it was not as fast sailing.?Atlanta Conitilu'ioD. ??& TRIED REMEDY SRK FOR THE GRIP.
