can that was supposed to be empty, but
found his mistake when the whole bot
tom came off with report that brought
all his Immediate neighbors in TO see
what was the matter. An empty gaso.
line can is about as dangerous an article
as we have in common use. When it is
empty it is full-of gas. Didn't hurt
Ed but it got on his nerves little.

friends at Nielsville, Mimi, on Monday.
