When all arrangement! were completed they proceeded to cut dowa, the tree. Many were the licks it took! to fell the oak, salt was perhaps about four or five feet in diameter, and th number of grain running through ttei wood numbered about eighty, whiohi proved this one to be about eighty; years old.

They soon filled stand and two or threw a twenty-gallo- if buckets. And as tha last comb ot honey,' was being taken down they saw eomo shining object ftill further down in the, tree.
