 cured in the history of the town when
 on last Wednesday afternoon about 6:S3

 pins and two herring offen Hen Wealth.
 ersby As she entered the store, Hod
 Quigly and Brad Hinsley set there eat
 ing Hens prunes and crackers and a.
 telling funny stories and cutting up in
 general and Jane paused to inquire the
 news offen Hod and Brad and made some pretty pert ansers when they in turn asked her some questshions. Af- ter short spell Hod told some story that his grandfather told him, and Jane laffed whot you mite call a fair to mid dlin' hearty laff: then Brad told some thing that set the hull crowd a-laning, and several customers whot had come in
 while this was going on jined the lsf- | fers and didn't know whot they be lam | in for. This made Jane laff sum more after everybody else had stopt, and them | hung their heads and looked sorter fool- | ish, but Jane kept on a-laffin and lafr- | in fit to bust Bye and Bye Hen pushed
