squash. His cries reached his father,
who ran to his assistance, and, fail
ing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran
into it, breaking it down, cutting
handful of flesh from his anatomy
and running So pair of pants. The
old COW took advantage of the gap in
the fence and got into the corn field
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran, up
set a four gallon churn of rich cream

500 carpet, During the eX-

away with the hired man, the dog
broke up eleven setting hens, and the
calves got out and chewed the tails
off four fine shirts. NOTE No such
