Found we couldn't.
Finally got EN- up-four of en-
and commenced putting the cords on.
Cords broke, and we had TO tie them
together.
The knots wouldn't slip around the
pegs, and we couldn't draw the rope
tight.
More remarks from the children's
mother on the subject of profanity.
Didn't pay any attention to her, and
thus succeeded in getting through with
the job. b@

the stove,
The legs all fell out when we tried
to lift it onto the zinc, but got it into

Two lengths and one elbow of the
pipe missing.
Finally found the elbow in the bu-
reau drawer, and the two lengths roll
ed up in the parlor carpet.
Got Ratchet and stick of wood
and commenced pounding the pipe
together.
Knocked chunk out of one of our
knuckles, and got the elbow on wrong

Had to take all apart and change it.

couldn't make itjibe.
Pounded more.

Expressed our opinion in relation
to stove-p pipes in general and this one
in particular, and made some illusions

Went to the corner grocery and got
"swei lager;' felt refreshed, and re-
sumed, the attack on the pipe.
Found out that what allied us before
was that we had not pounded it
enough.
Rennedied the defect and the job
was done. Stove smoked beautifully
Got wife to tie rags around three OF
our fingers and one thumb, and
thought we would sit down and have
a smoke.
Found meerschaum after while,
and discovered amber mouth-piece
broken. f
Got the tobacco can, but on ascer-
tanning that the salt cellar had been
emptied into it, made up our mind
that we wouldn't smoke.
We concluded we'd better go to bed
