A short time ago there occurred an
interesting circumstance in a certain
section of the city. 1t is said that a
small boy became accustomed to purloin
nails from key beneath neighbors
barn. The key set just inside narrow
aperture and through this the boy was
wont to reach for the nails which he
used to throw at sparrows. The owner
"got on to" the game and wckedly set
his cap to catch the boy, so he got
pail of tar and put it in the place of the
keg. The boy came along shortly and
reached for the nails. His hand came
out besmirched with tar and was at
once wiped as clean as possible upon
new suit of clothes. This part of the
story was more or less of joke but the
result was the most ludicrous of all for
the angry parent is now trying to see
what can be done about forcing the mai
owner TO pay for the ruined suit of
clothes.
