HORSE JUST SMILED

Hello, is this the sheriff's officef
 Long silence. Hello! Well, send Frank Sheet to corner of Cortez and Gurley right away, there is a loose horse here. That was the frantic call over the telephone last evening about 1l:30. Frank usually puts the old black mare away about 9. so he was obliged to saddle and bridle the old nag and eallop madly to Cortez and Gurley. Sure enough there was the horse all saddled and bridled in the finest outfit Prescott ever saw, but the horse was doing no harm except standing quietly in the great show window of Biles-Lockhart Clothing company. Loud talking followed. No, not swearing. MT. Sheets belongs to the church.

And scrubs the children's faces.

All need consideration.

She has "No occupation"
