FIRST TIME TRUTH WAS TOLD
Liveryman Refused to Assess Dam
ages Against His Reckless But
Honest Customer.

In small southern Indiana town is
liveryman who has ideas OF his own
about conducting his business. For
example:
Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to get over
ground in a hurry, had one OF old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to
neighboring town. Part of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mers business detained him longer
than he expected, and when he finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at lively pace. Finally,
when he struck the corduroy road, he
felt something snap, and knew that he
had broken a spring on the buggy He
saw visions of having to make the
damage good to old Henry. When he
reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
Henry, / broke a spring. How much
do ] owe you?"
How did you break it, Gus?" asked
the liveryman.
Driving like the dickens over a
rough road" the drummer answered,
frankly.
Then you don't owe me anything"
why, how's that?"
We'll, that's me first time I ever
had spring broke that way. 1t a
new way O. breakin' them. All
ever had broke before was broken
drivin' easy over smooth road. In

pleasantly: why, here's a recipe for

Neck boils come with the sweaty
