Uncle Johns the Happiest Man on

Oh say, Charley, do you know
that Uncle John is the, happ1est
man on earth? You remember
when we visited him last summer,
he used to hang his feet out of the
window nights so as to give them a
thorough airing in order to stay
with them the next day. Well,
since we we're there the health
officer got after him and threatened
to quarantine him for a contagious
disease unless he hauled in his feet.
The consequences were that he was
compelled to either fish or cut bait,
and in 20 minutes he was using
Barker's Antiseptic, and today his
feet are finer than silk. For sale
