When a little shower came up he drove out where it was, and followed the cloud at top speed until his garden was sufficiently watered. The scheme worked pretty well, everything considered.

A PHYSICIAN at Pineville,

Mo., declared that in January,

1802; his horse’s shadow froze to the ground at 10 o'clock in the morning. He always mentioned this business of 10 o'clock, and somehow made it appear that nobody would be surprised if a horse's shadow had frozen earlier in the day.

There have been a few real tornadoes in the Ozark country. Out west of Tahlequah, Okla, the wind blowed all the time,

‘according to an old story, so hard that the boys used to ride

into town on it. : They'd just stand out in the road and hold their big hats up like sails, and in less’'n a minute they'd light down right in front of the courthouse. A “furriner” tried it with a derby hat once, but it is said that he only rid as far as the river.
