Shorty" Shreeve has assumed the
role of philanthropist. In roaming
about the country in search of Gus
toners who will buy his sugar.
matches and breakfast food, Shorty"
always finds time to do good turn for
his fellowman. He Is naturally SYM
pathetic and is quite ready to lad
some unfortunate one ana give him
a lift This was clearly demonstrated
during the past week. Hot, tired and
dusty. Shorty" drove into Orange,
Ind, the other day and soon landed
in his customers store. He wandered
back into the customers house, which
was attached to the store, and still no
one in sight. On back to the kitchen
and out in the rear lot the diminutive
grocery peddler and philanthropist
wandered in hunt of his customer.
"Oh, Mr.. Shreeve," called a voice over
near the chicken coop, please do
help me-" The owner of the voice
proved to be no other than his lady
customer, Mrs. Brown. "Why, Mr.
Shreeve," continued Mrs. Brown, my
little chickens are all dying of gaps.
Can't you tell me of some cure?." ITO
be sure" replied Shorty in his most
positive manney and he began to
think of that nice order he would get
| if he could only think of some gap
to spring on Mrs. Brown. "I have a
friend in Richmond by the name of
Lebo," slowly and cautiously spoke
Shorty" who has some chickens,
and they nearly all died of gaps, but
| DR.. Meisner told him TO use peroxide
| The results were quick Now Mrs
| Brown, if you will take a little rubber
dropper and give each chick a drop
| of peroxide and you will soon fix them.
| If you haven't dropper, just use a
teaspoon"
"Oh, Mr.. Shreeve, I thank you a
thousand times for telling me. I had
| day, but as you have been so kind I'll
give you little order and let you go
on your way" gratefully spoke Mrs.
Brown.
| Shorty" was soon on MS way, and
Mrs. Brown, procuring peroxide and a
teaspoon, not having dropper, start
/ ed to doctor the young chicks, and
had succeeded in killing eight chicks
when Bill Mcclellan happened in and
found Mrs. Brown by the kitchen route.
She was still dropping peroxide down
the throats of the chicks.
What are you doing?" asked Bill.
Trying to cure my chickens by a
remedy Mr.. Shreeve told me little
while ago." replied Mrs. Brown. "They
have gaps. So far, they all die just
the same. He told me peroxide was
good for gaps"
Then Bill laughed. And Mr. Brown
knew at once that Shorty" knew
! nothing about chickens and the gaps
