huge muscles sticking out all over him,

some rich uncle or aunt doesn't kick
the bucket so he can move onto Easy

is another fellow who never knew a
sick day since his memory started. and
now he threatens TO commit suicide be-
cause a three sizes too small shoe has
sprouted an ingrowing toe-nail. Poor
fool. Here is a farmer who owns half

who lays awake nights scheming to get

schemes against his own happiness.
