This Has Whiskers.

It's not often that the Masons
give out their passwords promis-
cuously, but certain farmer
near Celina, Tenn, is sure that
he got it some weeks ago.
This farmer belongs to an or
ganization devoted to the inter
ests of agriculture and, being in
town on a certain night, he saw
a tiny ray of light issuing from
window of his lodge hall.
Thinking to pass away some of
his superhuous time, and not
knowing that it was the Masons
who had the hall on this particu-
lar evening, the farmer ambled
up the steps, gave bunch of
sharp raps on the outer door, etc,
and stuck his nose as far into
the little round hole in the door
as he could get it. Feeling a
warm substance which he recog-
nized as some body's ear, he
whispered into it these words:
"A mower, a rake, harrow" "
"The hi you sayn' came
from within. ~
II don't care if they did get
my passwords" said the farmer
afterwards; II got theirs. -
