A Chance to Fa[?].

The Nebraska farmer with whom I was staying over night grew confidential enough during the evening to tell me that he was going to town next day and begin a suit for breach of promise for his daughter, laying damages nt $75,000. “Aren’t those figures rather high?” I queried. “Yes, mebbe,” he replied, “but you see 1 have an object. I begin big so as to have n chance to fall. If Sally can’t get $75,000 she is willing to take SSO In cash and a second-hand bike.”
