THE PIONEERS OF BELLEVUE
On one occasion Mr. Lucas was in our store, and was mimicking a drunken man, that he had met somewhere out of town, (Lucas was a great mimic, he could almost beat the original) when Samuel Herring of Kalamzoo came in. Mr. Herring, said, "Lucas, how far will you shoot at one of those cheeses, and pay a shilling a shot ?" Lucas says, "Forty rods. " "Done, " says Herring. So down they went, put up the cheese, and the second shot pierced the cheese, and Lucas carried it home.
