The other day the two Joes tied their
horse-ingenuity together and made south of
town behind pair of 2:t0 steeds to obtain
from poor, unsuspecting granger, valuable
animal on which they had had their eyes for
some time. IA they approached the horny
handed farmers residence he smole smile
the whole length of him. about eft. Pin, and
prepared his bait which the two Joe's made
for very eagerly with good wad of money
and a gold watch, and led the farmers steed

broad as the granger's. They are a sort of
sickly smiles, forced out by main strength.
