tired from the rppn' an yesterday an all, she
thought she'd rest little Seems as her legs was all
done up in the carret an gettn out was hard SO she
thought she'd Just la back on the floor Seems she lay

You know what mule rs 70 shoe MIS- tn GPisc,s a
Hiram I'll take my Bible oath when Granma Null
Inns an Lucy gets discussn Hiram they couldn't hear
no steam Penelope out of circus not II was setn
full tilt right on their very door-1nat So poor Mrs.

the cullender
Mrs Sweet says the shock she got when she opened
the door an her with the carpet on her was enough
to upset her NJ. M,.,, NO.

over Mrs Macy an the carpet before his eyes got used
TO where he was They had to help him up an then ne
had to go the kitchen an disnfect his bump before he
could take look at Mrs. Macy. But seems he got
around to her atast and felt her pulse an then as he'd
forgot his knetoscope he just pounded her softly all
over with the tack-hammer but he didn't find out moth
in that way, for she yelled wherever he hit her lie
said then as he'd like to turn Xrays through her, only
as there isn't cellar under her house Just there there
be no way to get picture of the other side of what was
the matter with her
So he said she must be got up, an although she
howed as she couldn't be, he had Lucy an Hiram an
the blacsmiths crowbar an the blacksmith, an it was
plain as she'd have to whether or no Mrs Sweet
SAYS it was surely sight to They put the crowbar
across footsoo an Hiram jerked the other side
at the same tme an with yell like Judgment Day they
sat her up w

"Oh my, but young Dr. Brown is awful mad! Mr..
Kmbail says he guesses he's got suhin out O some
ornament his mantelpiece Hiram is mad, too, 1or
