make the trip the way the roads were.
OF course his wife, who has two small
children INN diately refused also, but
the other regrets were slow in COM

the roads were all but impossible and
that the poor men who had to make
the business trip were subjects for
sympathy and one of the wives said:
L think I'm pretty husky, but believe
those roads are too bad for even me to
make the trip, but isn't it strange that
they are SO much worse that side of
town than the way we came?" A very
pleasant time was had.
