He "Shrunk upp," and No Wonder.

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
was hollow log into which he
managed to crawl. The rain lasted
a couple of hours, when the fellow
decided he had better be going
home. He triod to extricate him
self from the log, but the soft
wood had swollen and he couldn't
bulge a peg. There alone in the
desolate wood, many miles from
habitation, the poor man lay for
hours thinking of all the mean
things he bad ever done, when all
at 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

Yesterday Clark called at the Adver-

I paid Strauch the money to have the
