A man who was too economical to sub
scribe for his home paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over
$14 stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like warty summer squash. His
cries reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and, failing to notice barb
ed-wire fence, ran into it, breaking it
down, cutting handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running SIS pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage of the gap
in the fence and got into the cornfeld
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset
four gallon churn of rich cream into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In her hurry she dropped a S25
set of false teeth. The baby left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream and
into the parlor. running a 500 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest daugh-
ter ran away with the hired man, the dog
broke up eleven setting hens, and the
calves got out and chewed the tails off
four fine shirts. Kansas City Journals .
