In we 3went a hoopin when jest as we was goin' throngh th gut o' the cove, it kind o' shoaled likt and we come to with a rush, and we wa broadside onter the worst lookin' croetu yer over see or heard on. "First I thought it was a spider; it arms was a-ftyin' in the air over us, an some a-hangiu' on tew the boatl and th creotur seemed actual a-tryin to com aboard. Ye see, it had grounded on th shoal and we'd plumped right intow it and I'm a master hand at sight-secin but I was took all aback, and the first knew one of its arms was around the o1 Vhish I came another, takin' Long Tot around 'the boot, and yankin' him clen off his feet. He whipped nout his knift and out it bfl, and it fell in the boan a-twistil:' jest like a snake. Anotlhc comp, a-flym' along, and took me in th uneck, dtlttin' jest like a knife, and a: this time we wur a-whackin' and jam min' at the creetur to keep him nont t the boat. But its logs was kivered wil' suckers, and it kind o' came on. Rigli between the legs we see a pair o' hil' workin' up and daown just like these are while the creetur was a-pumpin' ink ann water from a sort o' spout jest like a stean: engine. so't we was black from head to foot and the water all araound. I got my oar up like a harpoon, and was jest goin' to jam it in the head, when a wave took the dory, gave her a lift, and over she went, chuokin'mo right on tew the cree tur, and I'll swan tow life I was never so near meetin' Davy Jones afore nor sonce. I tried to jump clear, but the boat knocked me daown, and the first I know I felt a grip on my boot, and I see the animal had me by the leg; bit clean through the leather, leg and ail, and for a minute I was all wound up, and I reckon if it warn't for Tom .Id been cleaned anout sure. The water wasn't over two foot, and ho jumped elearo' the croetur, and then shovin' the boat clear lie jammed the squid in the head with an oar four or five times, and hauled me naut, and yaou can bet. yer port money I was a physical wrack as far as looks goes-all scratched up. "Wall, we righted the boat, and then I was bound tow see the creetur; so we dragged it in shore and spread her aout. anid how long d'yo reckon it was Forty-eight feet tew an inch, and th worst lookin' thing I ever clapped m; eyes on. The body was jest like a bij bag, abaout twelve foot long, and sol like a jolly. The tail looked like th fluke of an anchor, but the head wa what took me. The eyes on it wer black and as big as saucers, and froi around 'em branched off ten legs ki' ered on one side with - suckers, wit edges of 'em jist like razors and saws and every time one struck ye a kind o air-pump piston arrangenent sucke the air aout and pressed the sucker rigi intowv ye. Two of the arms was th Ion preut--I reckoned abaou t thiirty foot andi( it was them the creetur was hangia by when we ran a-foul a' him--kind< swingin' by 'em like hawsers. WVal) tow make a long story short, I was Iai up for a couple o' weeks wvith the bite o my leg, and I reckon I can show som1 of the scratchin' yet.

He was elected Cor gressman fcon the La Crosse distrie e last fall, but the confounded soldiers foi got all about that, and only looked upo s himn as "Gil. Woodward." After lhe ha r retired a crowd of these wicked soldier procured a lot of feathers and heads c s spring chickens, and scattered them ai d around Wood ward's tent, and at dayligli e the guard woke Woodward up and tol e him that there was a farmer wanted t e see hitn.

"All right, you can have it " said the farmer, as ho looked mad.

Woodward is nearsighted, and htc could not see anything on the ground so he put on his glasses and stooped ove anud sure enough there were he %ther plenty. By that time the boys had sur rIoumed the farmer and told him Wood ward was one of the hardest nuts in th State, and that lhe was a terror wherc ever he was known, and that the he thing the farmer could do was to g lume and remove the rest of his chiek ens ito an adjoining county until a t teecampment was over.
