Brows turned to heaven and the mac continued: "One day a gosh-awful storm came up when I was nearly 60 miles from the farm. I headed the horse for the barn and believe it or not, he raced ahead of the storm. I didn't get a drop on my buckskin.

"But my dog, who was eight feet behind us when we started, had to swim all the way home. It's a shame to do away with dogs, but I had to do that critter in. I can't stand a sJow animal." A fellow named Manuel Finkle- storm, who wrote in from the neighborhood of Council Bluffs, Iowa, swears this one is true. He says he went bear-hunting in the west and lost his glasses, which were common plain glass goggles. He borowed his guide's the magnifying kind.

The near-sighed guide couldn't see a thing but Finklestorra spotted a big animal and opened fire. Without taking off his glasses, he souldered his fallen pretty and proudly presented it to his fellow hunters for inspection around the campfire that night. Finklestorm, who now wears bifocals, admitted he was a little embarrassed. He had bagged a medium-sized field mouse.

Never say a rattlesnake isn't grateful.

"He followed me homeland hung around the house, tame as a dog. One night I heard a noise downstairs, and going to look, found the ratlesnake wrapped around the burglar's legs, with his tail out the window, rattling for the gendarmes." Oilmen Ante Up ForMacArthur HOUSTON A week-long session of bickering over who would pay for eGneral Douglas MacArthur's visit to Texas last Jue was over today. Oil Millionaire Glenn McCarthy, first said he didn't intend to be "stuck" with the $8500 bill; kicked in S2500.
