A "bumble bee" lit on his forehead, and holding a hatchet in his hand at the time he undertook to use it as a fly brush. He missed the object of his pursuit, but the hatchet struck the boy's head, severing a branch of the temporal artery. The blood flowed freely for a while. Ed says a hatchet is not a good weapon to kill a bumble bee with, especially when occupying a seat so near an artery. -------------------------- CITY AND COUNTRY Five printers are drawn to serve as jurors at the October term.
