latest Patent Office report. We already have
sixteen hundred of these interesting volumes in
our little library, but they have been read anG
reread so many times that we know every page
Of them by heart. This new volume came op

and that night we gathered our little family
around the fire and read it through to them
The affecting tale entitled Improvement in
Monkey Wrenches' seemed to touch every
| heart, laughter, and when we came to the
| climax Of the little story about Reversible Pie
Boards there was not dry eye between the
| front door and the stable. Laughter Dur
ing the reading of the piteous narrative entitled
Gum Washers for Carriage AXles the whole
| family gave expression to bosterous emotion
| and the hired girl was so much excited that she
| lost her presence of mind and went around tC
! her mothers inadvertently with six pounds o
| sugar and butter-kettle full of -four, and came
| home at midnight intoxicated. Laughter.
| We can never sufficiently thank Judge keller
! for the innocent enjoyment thus furnished US
| The memory Of that happy evening will lingel
| in our minds very much longer than that hired
| girl ever fingers when she lights on lot OF sub
/ stance which she thinks will suit the constitu
ton Of her aged parent" Great laughter
