SAVE YOUR BULBS

Do not throw away your winter
bulbs; they can be kept until next
spring and planted in the garden,
where it is possible they may recover
enough of their original strength to
give crop of flowers the next sea-
son.
1t is possible, say, but 1t is not at
all probable, that one out of ten win
do so.
Still, it does no harm to try. 1t is
about as easy to put them into the
ground as to dump them into the
refuse heap.
But / would never advise anyone
to make use Of these bulbs second
season in the house. They cannot be
depended on.

| Glenn Perkins one of our most re-

from being drugged to deth tother day
, and also got turrib1e surprise into the

Glenn started out in the morning lead
IN his old white mare who he calls
"Sary" and who is Is yrs old

her age is childish and coltish and
skittish as kin be. Glenn had a stout
rope about 80 # long tide to Sarys
halter and when he had led the mare
up the road ways above town Glenn he
set down at one end of the rope under
tree in the shade and lit his pipe whilst
alongside the road.
Bye and bye Clerls head begin to nod
| and his pipe dropt outen his mouth. then
Glenn would git awake agin and remain
! with his eyes open while but it wassent
no use-his eyes would go shet in spite
of him and after Glenn had woke I'D onct
and found that he had dropt the rope

he dropt off to sleep agin

fox terrier who is allus full of mischief

the dawg seen the'old mare nibblin away
with her head down he snuk up behint

When Glenn woked up he was being
| drugged along the road in the dust at a
awful rate while Sary at tother end of
the rope was runnin as fast as she could
gallop! Poor Glenn thort his last day
had came and he hol1ered for help but
who was there to help him? Nobuddy.
| Glenn said if he could of only reechd
| forrerd and untide the rope from his an
l1e1s all would of been well but how
could he set up to dc that when he was
being drugged sometimes on his back
and sumtimes on his stummick or vice
versy as the case mite be?
To make matters worse the dawggawn
dawe run after Glenn barkin and nippin
at him whenever it got a chanst. Glen
SAYS he calleilates the dawg tfort it was
fun but so fur as he was conccrnd it
wassent.
Well after the mare had drugged Glenn
| for nearly 300 vds he struck cu1vert
and the rope broke and Glenn was throwd
into the ditch. LIST thing he done when
he got to his feet was to pick up a

Hank he stashioned hisself at the
lower end under a tree alongside
| the road, then Bill, whoze shop is
almost in the middle of the town,
as you mite say, run outen his shop
over to Jase fuckers house, Jase
being cheef of the Bingville Fire
Dept. and hollerd in Jase's ear, who
was dozin on his front PLAYER, that
there was a turrible fire ragin at
the lower end of town!
Jase he jumped up and made for
the basement of the Town Hall as
fast as he could go hollern 'fFier
Fier!" as loud as he could boiler.
and by this time the other members
of the F. D. had heerd the awful
alarm and they also started runnin
lords the Town Hall as fast as they
could lick it and grabbed the waiter
pals and started to foller Jase
down Main st. in a cloud of dust.
When Hank seen 'em comm he
rusht out into the middle of the
road and waved his hands, and
when Jase and the other brave fire
men come up all outen breth Hank
told EN- that a mistake must of
been made, being as the fire was at
the upper end of town.
Then Jase and his brave fo1lers
turnd around and without stoppin
to git their breth started back up
Main st as fast as they could dig.
Now it's nearly three-quarters of
mile from the lower end Of Bling
vile to the upper end and when
the fremen arrove where Yves was
out in the middle of the road their
lungs was a hangin out and they
was jest barely able to tfot along.
When Yves told EN- that there
wassent emmy fire up at that end of
the town and that in fackt he did
dent know of emmy fire ennywheres
as fur as he was concernd, the fire
men swore so turr1ble that the
winmen folks nearbouts, mcleod
ing wifes & mothers, went out and
brung their Children into the house
and then shut down the winders,
hot as it was.
When Yves and the members of
the Dept. realised that they had
been made fools of by Hank Dew
berry & Yves Woodruff and Bill
Hepburn they was mad enuff to fife
but afeard to do so, being as they
all know that Bill Hepburn could
lick the hull Fire Dept. without
help from nobuddy.
Jase said he could take joak as
well as ennybuddy, but he'd be jig
gerd if he thort it was joak to
respond as prompt as he had to git
to a fire, espeshially when there
wassent no fire there when he got
there, and that now when reel
fire broke out he was liable not to
respond tall.
Ease said he wouldn't of minded
| it if it haddent been SIGH alfred
hot day and its a wonder that the
brave hremen wassent overcome
with sunstroke or someth1rk re-
spending as prompt as they done
Jase wont speek to Yves or Hank
neither for that matter, but he is
| Jest as pleasant as ever with Bill
Hepburn, being as he's afeard not
to be.
