form with Brother Gardner when the au-
dience went whooping. lie sized up as a
short, chunky man with tapping ears, n
large spread of mouth and a head MS
round as a cannon ball and as smooth as
plate glass. He looked the man to grab
hold at once and to hang on till death.

double pointed wooden toothpick and as
the man who discovered that the state
line between Ohio and Indiana had slid
down hill in II different places. lie
drew long breath, smiled all around
