] heard q very good one on Geo
w. Garfield, living on Bremen
Route No. 1, near that village,
consider will bear repetition. Geo
| Garfield is one Of those Jolly
whole.souled boys that will stan6
for almost anything, and is moi
10th to hand out lemon or two
himself. Georges farm lays high
and dry, and by the way lays in
the Bremen gas and oil belt. On
one of lis highest knobs you car
see some eight or ten miles in
every direction. This field, so il
is told, was rather barren, scarcely
anything would grow on it, (this
is very hard for me to believe,
even spear of grass was a varie-
ty. Well, the story goes, one of
his neighbors had a hundred head
of sheep and not enough pasture,
George told him he had a forty
acre field, laying very high that
he could turn them in gratis. His
neighbor sent the sheep over next
day with his hired help and they
were turned in. A few days after
he shouldered a sack of salt, and
went over to see how the sheep
were getting along, and give them
some salt. George met him at the
gap and went with him to the top
of the ridge. The neighbor looked
the field over but could see no
grass.
"My heavens, George !" ex-
claimed the neighbor, "there is no
grass here, the sheep will starve
to death" "Well, F" replied Geo.
"I'll admit there is not very much
grass, but just consider land he
stretched out his arm toward
every point of the compass what
delightful place they occupy and
what beautiful scenery"

good as a half dozen new subscr rib

of sparkling cider, that was cider.
One glass was sufficient, it had no

tongue loosened up. In self de-
