A man who was too stingy to
subscribe for his home paper sent
his title boy to borrow the copy
taken by neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over a 81 stand Of
bees and in ten minutes looked
like warty summer squash. His
father ran to his assistance, and
failing to notice the barb wire
fence, ran into that, cutting a
hole in his anatomy and running
a $40 pair of trousers. The old
COW took advantage of the gap
in the fence and got into the corn
field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing racket,
the wife ran out, upset four-gal-
Ion churn full of cream into a
basket of little chickens, drown
ing the entire hatch. In her haste
she dropped a $35 set of false
teeth. The baby having been left
alone, crawled through the milk
into the parlor, running brand
new $25 carpet. During the ex-
citement the oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man, the dog
broke up II setting hens and the
calves got out and chewed the
tails of four shirts on the clothes
line.
