WHY SHE WAS AFRAID

Ralph Davis, local transfer man,
tells this one on himself: He was in
charge of a livery barn in Minnesota
that was in connection with a hotel
The landlord of the hotel had a daugh-
ter about ten years of age. One day
in the summer time the little girl
went to the barn and asked Ralph if
he would not get the eggs from under
a hen for her, as she was afraid.
Ralph is an accommodating fellow and
he readily consented. He secured the
eggs from under the hen and when he
turned to give them to the girl she was
laughing mysteriously. About that
time Ralph "tumbled" as thousands Of
mites made their presence known on
his hands. He made run for a creek
near by and jumped in, and stayed
there until the mites were drowned.
