The other day q lady in northern
New York state town fell off tho front
porch. The lady's name was Mrs.
Perkins. We mention 1t not because
q guarantee of good faith. When Mrs.
Perkins fell off the porch she scared
team of horses that was going by in
the road hauling a load of potatoes.
The team ran away and upset the
wagon, tossing a two-bushel bag Of
fine potatoes into Mrs. Perkins yard.
1t was a very welcome contribution.
Since that day every man in the block
has had his wife fall of the front porch
every time a team has come in sight.
but none Of them has. thus far. been
favored with bag Of potatoes. The
moral of this seems to be that imita-
tors seldom succeed. One must be an
originator to make good.
