taken off, was not a moving machine
"because it couldn't NOW" Morgan
Z claimed that it was a moving machine
anyhow. A long, heated discussion en-

| Somebody got into Mr.. Kinsler's potato
patch and dug lot of his potatoes. Then
they went through Thomas Poindexter's
patch, taking a considerable quantity.
Then they got into Jimmy Copeland's

would have been some consolation to
Jimmy if they had left him the vines.

trading, and has secured such a good re-
suit that he thinks of trading his last ami

About noon to-day our young friends |
Thomas Gherken and Will. Kitchen met |
in Olendorfs shop, and began playful |
scuff1e. Thomas is large man, while |

Johnny Motz flying around |
