4 "Csn'' Story.

At this time of the year the fes-
tive microbe which made its first
appearance in Swink last year. is
again flying down the throats of a
few citizens, who, Immediately after
swallowing the aforesaid bug, are
possessed with a desire to fly the
town without liquidating for the
necessaries of life which were pro-
vided by the merchants of the city.
One man who is trying to get rich
quick. left town the first of the week
owing about $500. and it is said that
he made quite bunch of money in
tin can and took it with him in
a tin can-very likely in one of
the cans which contained canned
goods which the grocery furnished
him with and which he forgot to
pay for. 1t is an 'uncanny" story
of cans. which can be readily under
stood by those who can" not see
where they are going to get reim-
bursed. If you can figure it out,
you can get prize. All the mer-
chants got was a can of lemons. Can
you?
