A Dangerous Practice.

A Kansas City man who was too eco
nonical to take this paper,sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran oyer a
81 stand Of bees, and IN ten minutes
looked like a warty summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who ran to-
his assistance and failing to notice q
barbed wire fence, ran into. that, break
ing it b down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running a 81 pair
of pants. The old cow took advantage
of the gap in the fence, and got into .he.
cornfeld and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran,
upset q four gallon churn full Of rich
.creamsinto a basket of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In the hurry she drop
ped q $7set Of false teeth. The baby
left alone, crawled through the spilled
milk and INTO the parlor, running brand
new $40 carpet. During the excitement
the Oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man: the dog broke up eleven set
ting hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails OF four fine shirts
