Hard TO Reform,

A exchange tells of lady who
decided to scare her husband who
was quite hard drinker, so ne would
reform. To do this she employed
the costume of the devil, which she
had worn at n masquerade. The
next time the erring spouse came
home feeling happy, she quickly
donned the costume. As he opened
the door she stepped forward and in
sepulchral tones said: "Come in with
me, / am the devil" The result
rather startled her, as the response
which greeted her was "Zat so?

The largest county in this State is
Randolph with Lose square miles,

Hancock is the smallest county i'm

Custer county, Montana, is the
largest county in the United States
having 20, 100 square miles, and
being ten times larger than the state
of Delaware, and nearly twenty
times larger than Rhode Island.
There are several counties in Ne
