MEMO.

Did you hear of the man
who was too economical to
take his home paper, but sent
his little boy to borrow the
copy taken by his neighbor?
In bis haste the boy ran over
a two dollar stand of bees,
and in ten seconds looked
like a warty summer squash.
His crys reached the father
who ran to his rescue and
failing to notice the barbed
wire fence, cut a handful of
fish bait from his anatomy
and ruined a four dollar pair
of pants. The COW took ad.
vantage of the gap in the
fence, got out and ate forty.
live cents worth of alfalfa
and died of bloat. Hearing
the racket the wife ran out,
upset a four gallon churn of
cream in a basket of kittens
and drowned the whole mess.
In the hurry she dropped
and broke a seven dollar SET
of false teeth, The baby,
LETT alo1e, crawled through
the flood Of cream and into
the parlor, running a bran
new carpet. During the ex.
citement, the oldest daugh-
ter ran away with a bool,
agent, the dog broke up
eleven setting hens, and the
calves got out and chewed
the sleeves from four fine
shirts which hung on the
line, Elk. .....
