Chatfleld Democrat One day this
week Dr. Dickson was inspecting things
around his barn, which stands at the top
of a very steep hill. He loot his footing
and as the hillside was covered with the
smoothest kind of ice, he was picking
himself up at the foot of the liil) in about
a second after he sat down at the top.
By a circuitious route he managed to re
gain the top of the hill and was just
reaching out to take hold of tho fence
whert he sat down suddenly and was at
the foot of tho hill again before he could
take a second breath. It would have
taken half a dozen stenographers to
have recorded all the lauguage indulged
in by th« doctor, but it would not be
quito the proper stuff to print if ii had
been preserved.
