hired you, that think to do this year
without rum. How much more must |
give you 10 do without 2"
"Oh," said Jonathan, 81 don't care much
about it; you may give me what you
please"
"Well," said the farmer, 81 will give
you sheep in the fall, if you will dc
without"
"Agreed," said Jonathon.
The oldest son then said, "Father, vii
you give me sheep if will do withou
rum -
Eyes, Marshall, You shall have a sheer
if you will do without"
The youngest son STRIPPING then said
FEATHER, will you give me a sheep if

also, if you will do without rum"
Presently Chandler speaks again
"Fathcr, had'nt you better take Il sheG

thought that he could give up the goo
creature yet; but the appeal was from
source not to be easily disregarded. Th
result was, the demon was hencefort
