An Arkansas paper tells the story Of a
man who was caught out in the woods
during a storm. He didn't want to get
wet, and the only dry place he could
find vas a hollow log into which he man
aged to crawl. The rain lasted a couple
of hours, when the fellow decided he
had better be going home. He tried to
extricato himself from the log, but the
soft wood had swollen and he couldeu't
bulge Il peg. There alone in the desc
late wood, many miles from habitation,
the poor mar lay for hours thinking OF
all the mean things he had ever done,
when all an once it suddenly dawned
upon him that he had read his county
paper three years without paying for it,
and then refused to take it out Of the
postofice. 1t made him feel so small
that he crawled out of the log without
further difficulty.
