Frank Allen has recovered his equi
librium, or something just as good,
and has returned to earth and the
even tenor of his way. We all know
Frank is about the best plasterer in
these parts and that under ordinary
circumstances is a very Industrious
and sane man; but when they told
him it was a boy, he just stepped off
the scaffold into midair and didn't
touch the ground for several days,
His many friends tried to coax him
down, but he just tossed them a.
handful of cigars and kept on his
flight. 1t was Wednesday, the nth
Of March, but all the snakes in Ireland
couldn't detract from Franks happi-
ness. The mother and babe are do
ing nicely.
