She weighed about one hundred

a right peart girl and she takes to the
pianer as natural as bird dog to a per-
rary hen, and I'm bound she'll have a
pair O. scales and some sharps if my
old man has to go without a new pair
O. overalls,' said the purchaser, and
she wiped her forehead with her check
apron and busted her nose with MAC
caboy."
