Our readers oush, to have seen, tho
Our folks commenced pulling up and
tearing down tho traps week ago.
Most Of the "plunder" WIS thrown into
aheap and Jumped of Into .Ios.lA Win a
total disregard Of ordinary rules.
The parsorie and hive syrup md vial
were packed in our new hat, one Of J. w.
Reeds latest and best .-....
The castor bottles were placed in our
other boots, il being 80 handy to carry
them by tho loops. The stopper came out
Of the ono containing tomato kstchup,
and the top Of The mustard concern was
broken oil. H
That's tho best seasoned pair Of boots
we ever had.
The other family insisted on coming In.
to the house before We got out
And 50 things got mixed up some.
But we got everything thai belonged to
us at last. -. 7 .-'
The carmen swore because the cook
stove was 10 heavy, and ono said, I'D il
he'd have IL if we offered il to him."
Didn't offer ID to him, but offered both OF
them drink out Of a quarter barrel Of ale
nearly full standing in the kitceen.
They took livery kindly, but II made
'cm thirsty all the forenoon.

room stove.
Commenced playing put up bcdstcads.
It's fun, when you like il. ~.
But people don't like Il mostly.
None Of the blnsied rails would 6t. Got
the wrong ones into tho wrong posts, and
couldn't screw them up!
Marked them oil with a pencil before we
took them down, and thought we'd know
how they went together again; but sone-
body wiped the marks all out:
And there they were.
Better-half suggested that one ut our
time Of life ought to have more patience,
and gave il as her opinion that we "could
never swear the bcdstead together"
Found We couldn't.
Finally got 'cm up, four Of EN-, and com
mcncel putting tho cords in.
Cords broke, and We had to tie them to-
gc,hcr. .W
The knots wouldn't slip around the pegs
and We couldn't draw the rope tight.
More remarks by the child's mother on
tho subject Of profanity. .,B...
Didn't pay any attention to her, and
thus succeeded in getting through with the
beds.
Then went down and aharncssed" the
stove.
The legs oil fsll out when we tried to
lift il on the zinc, but We got il in position

Pounded more.
The more we pounded the moro il

Found out that what allied us before was
that we hadn't pounded il enough.
Rcmclied tho defeat, and the job was
done.
Stove smoked beautifully.
Go, vito to tic rugs round three Of our
