When Ole Gedstad came home from
church last Sunday he took out his
key to unlock the door, but for some
reason or other the key broke in the
lock and Ole was shut out. Ole tried
all kinds of machinery to open it. He
tried wire, nails, spikes and crowbars
but the door would not bulge, so he
called in Lewis Larson who had a
bunch of keys, and they both tried
combination of the lock. Ole said,
st is Sunday and | have been to
church but d. Such luck anyway
Lewis gave the door up and went and
examined the windows. He found
them secured with stops except one
that had nails in place of a stop. He
pried it open and crawled in and Sc
cured another key for the front door
and Ole got in. Ole says a nan with
a door and lock and key in his pocket
is not safe, and thinks next time he
builds he will have a ladder and a
trap door in the roof.

%triplets are more than a blessing
