hotel in Middletown, n. Y, the other day, and
when he broke open roll, a handsome gold
ring rolled out. For an instant he thought he
was at a church fair, but it was not long before

loss, claimed the ring. And he was mean

"In course you goose" she tartly said
'It's corns, that's what's the matter''
