BEATS MARY'S FAMOUS LAMB
WooIIy Lawn Mower Proved of Prac- ticaI Value to Cincinnati Man
 During Hot Spell.

Louis Goecke, better known as 'Pat" In amateur circles, was moving the grass on the lawn of his home in Gin cinnati recently. In the course of the work he was cutting alongside hedge with a pair of clippers.
 "Ba-a-a," came from the other side of the hedge.
 Goecke looked up. A neighbOr was sitting on the porch reading.
 GOecke resumed his clipping.
 "Ba-a-a" sounded again.
 Goecke strengthened up and shot fierce glances at his neighbOr. But the latter's face was concealed back of the newspaper.
 The clipping proceeded, and then again came "Ba-a-a!"
 Finally Goecke threw down his clip pers, stepped to the neighbours porch, and said:
 Are you guying meT"
 The other looked up with surprise. ''Guying you2 Why, no! What makes you think SOP"
 "Well, stop that 'baa-ingP" Goecke said.
 "Oh, that's 1t. I'll show you what that is." and the neighbOr went back among the bushes and pulled out a lamb. 'I bought 1t yesterday" he ex- plained.
 Immediately Goecke was seized with an idea. Lend it to me, will youW he asked. The neighbor was obliging. The lamb finished the grass cutting job, and GOecke enjoyed the cool and quiet of shady nook on his porch.
