make 632O grains for the one the
FARMER put into the ground.

FATE OF the TGHrwAD

We once knew a man who was
too stingy to take the newspaper iu
MS home town and always went
over 20 borrow his neighbours paper.
one evening he sent his son over
to borrow the paper and while the
sol a ON the way he ran INTO a
large stand OF bees and in a few
minutes his face looked Nike a sum
mer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries Of the
SON the father ran to his assistance
and in doing SO. ran into a barbed
wire fence, b%utting a handful OF
flesh from his anatomy and running
a 81 pair OF trousers.
The old COW took advantage OF
the hole in the fence. got into the
cornfield and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket the
sungy mans wife ran out OF the
house, upsetting a four gallon churn
full OF cream into a basket of kit
ems drowning the whole flock. She
slipped on the cream INC fell down
stairs. breaking her leg and a s1s.
set OF false teeth. The baby, left
alone crawled through the spilled
Cream into the parlor and ruined 2
$40 parlor carpet. During the ex-
element the daughter eloped with
the hired man, taking the family
savings bank with them.
The moral is that every man
should be a subscriber TO his home
