and when it moves iu its proper

Hearing of Mr. Browning’s
misfortune, and thinking that
useful experience beneficial to a
large class ot the community in-
terested in buzz-saws might be
gleaned from a man of expe-
rience, our interviewer called on
the gentleman for the purpose of
learning his opinion of buzz-
saws,
“Mr. Browning, you were
buzz-sawed, I believe, the other
day ?” said the interviewer after
making known his mission.
“I was!” (Very emphatic.

rag at the end of his arm.)
“Did it hurt you much !”
“Two fingers and a thumb.”
“You have got them tied up?”
“No; I have got the place
where they were, tied up.”
“Then they are off?”
“Yes, a good ways off.”
“How did it happen ?”
“I pushed my hand against the
saw while runniug a narrow
strip through.”
“Did yon keep it there very
long ?”
“No ”
“Did you take it right away ?”
“Yes.”
“Did yon take it all away 1”
“All but two fingers and a
thumb.”
“What did yofi do with them?”
“I left them on the other side
of the saw.”
“Did you say anything at the
time ?”
“I did, bat it won't do to pub

“Do you think the buzz saw
was to blame ?”
“Chiefly.”
“How did it feel ?”
“A good deal like shakiug

1o those who in civil life have
honored me with their friendship
and support, and especially and

An Illinois farmer says: “My
cattle will follow me until I leave
the lot, and on the way up to
the barnyard iii the evening stop
and call for a fork of bay*”
Brown says there is nothing at
all remarkable about that. He
went into a barn-yard iu the
country one day last week,
where he had not the slightest
acquaintance with the cattle,
and an old bull not only follow-
ed him until he left the lot, but
took the gate off the hinges and
raced with him to the house in
the most familiar style possible.
Brown says he has no doubt
that the old fellow would have
called for something if he had
waited a little while, but he
didn’t want to keep the folks
waiting for dinner^ so he hung
one tail of his coat and a piece
of his pants on the bull’s horns
and went into the house.
