Talk about your trade rats, we think

blame the rats.
Joe Shearer is in our neighborhood
this week. We asked his business, and
were informed that Ed Howard was put
ving real fine sight on his gun. And
Joe says Ed knows his business, you
"bet your life" for he can shoot gnats
eyebrow off at two hundred yards. Yes
we think that's fine sight, and guess
Ed and Joe are all o. K.
Saturday night. Katie went out into
the yard and discovered Snsie standing
with the spy glass turned on the Granny
road looking for Joe. The former
suatched the glass pushed the latter
back and scanned the road. She said
she said she was looking for Fred, but
Susie was convinced that she was only
feigning this profound interest in Fred's
welfare and that in reality she was
thinking only of Joe. In the afternoon
aJumor had been afloat that they had
tipped over. AS the rumor was lacking
in detail the girls were very much con-
cerned as to what had tipped over, the
wagon or the boys. So of course they
were frantic and in terrible turmoil.
4 The boys returned safely Sunday noon
and as Mrs. Ish has managed to keep
the girls separate, peace and quiet reigns
But Susie got to make his pillow cases
any way.
