Probably Safe.

A New Hampshire farmer who heard •of a New Yorker stopping at one of the mountain hotels, drove thirteen fhiles one day last summer to ask him if he thought the prospective shortage of crops would bring about another financial panic. He waited around the hotel for several hours, and finally ascertained that the man he wanted to see was absent, and would be gone all day. “Where has he gone?” “Over to Silver oreek.” “What fur?” “To fish.” “Gone afishin’, and calkerlatin’ to be gone all day?” “Yes." “Took a bottle of brandy and a lunch and a silver-plated fish-pole, and went off kinder onconsarned, did he ?” “Yes.” “Well, then, I guess I'll jog back hum and finish them ’taters,” continued the old man, with a sigh of relief. “It kinder seems to me that if this kentry was in danger of a kerflumux them chaps from New York wouldn’t come here to fool their time away suckin’ in mornin’ fogs and scrapin’ the creaks fur fish-bones!”— Wall Street News.
