THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.
HOW A TALL FARMER PLAYED JOKE ON
 HIMSELF.

A good story is told of how prom l. nent Johnsonville farmer played joke on himself and it is so good we are going to tellit to our 16,000 readers. On re- cent Saturday evening his good wife sent him to the store for some groceries and he, in order to make it easier for the horse, before starting, oiled up the axles. started for the village. He had not gone over thousand feet before he found himself on an easy bed of mud. Inves- tigation showed that wheel had come off and he called at the nearest house for a lantern to look for the nut that held the swheel on. A thorough search on our good road failed to reveal the mis- sing link, so our farmer returned to his barn with the outfit, and here is where the joke comes in, for he found that nut just where he left it when he took it off to oil the axle.
