HOW JOE FOOLED HIS FAMILY.

Joe L/arsh don’t believe in causing any Unnecessary worry to his family. Thursday morning he called to his son Jack, who was on the street, and said:' “Jack, go in and help George in the store; I’ve got to go to Crawfordsville „on business on the next train.” He then went over to the county hospital and underwent an operation for * hernia, from which hB has been afflicted for some years. Neither his partner, George W. Hopkins, nor his family knew anything about the operation until late in the afternoon, supposing he had gone to Crawfordsville. *
