Readers

A man who was too close to
subscribe for his home paper sent
his little boy TO borrow a copy from
his neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over 81 stand of bees and III a
minute looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father
who ran to his assistance and failing
to notice a barrel of barbed wire, ran
into it cutting a handful Of flesh
from his anatomy and running a S.
pair of pants. Hearing the racket
the wife ran. up set a 4 gallon chGrn
of rich cream into a basket OF kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In her
hurry she dropped SIS sea Of false
teeth and the baby, left alone,
crawled through the cream and into
the parlor running a $40 carpet. Dn-
ring the excitement the oldest dasgh
ter ran away with the hired man, the
dog broke up eleven setting hens and
the calves got out and chewled the
tails off .pur shirts Kansas City
