TINY WE'RE AL cRtly.

There's a story OF three escaped
lunatics from the Cherokee ;nst:tu-
tion which relates that the sheriff
when notified went out and brought
in three men and landed them at the
asylum. Protest was made tnst
these were not the persons who had
escaped. The sheriff consented TO go
seeking further, but stated that he
had found the three n hand playing
solitaire and knew tnev belonged in
some asylun for the insane.
4 new and true story comes from

The only ry in the ointment Of this

those which nave taken and are still
