The best April fool joke we
have heard Of was that perpetrated
by Mrs. Crandal upon her husband,
George, and several others, at Pine
grove. On the first of April she
prepared the usual lunch that the
men were q custOmed to take with
them to their daily work, and in
the basket placed q beautiful and
tempting pie. When the lunch
hour arrived, George, being the
Major Domo of the party, spread
the cloth on a large stump and re-
questcd all hands to "come to
grub" As they approached the
cloth George pointed with pride to
the pie, remarking that If there
was any one thing his wife was q
daisy at it was making pies" and he
ate but little solid food, so anxious
was he to tackle that pie. It was
uncut, and George slid his case
knife over it gently, but it made no
impression on the pie whatever. He
bore down a little harder but with
no better success. Then he took
both hands and with such force
that the knife broke without scarce
ly making an indenture. About
this time George commenced to
"smell MICE" and remarked that
he didnt think he was "pie hun
gry." Others attempted to carve
that pie without success, but $
break was finally made into it o.
sufficient depth to ascertain that il
was composed solely of layers o
brown paper. Then it dawned upor
them that it was an April fool. Tn,
same pie was that night offered 9
lot of boys who were pls ying card'
in Chattin's saloon and they at
tackled it with pocket knives, bu
with no better success. It is dan
gerous to now say pie" to many
Pine Grove people.
