! 'lll' - JR-kuWy Have Your Own Paper A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow the copy taken by , her neighbor. In his haste ; the boy ran over a four dollar i stand of bees, and in ten min- * utes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and, failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh J from his anatomy and ruining a five-dollar pair of pants, j The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field. Hearing the racket, the mother ran and upset a 3gallon churn full of rich cream { into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her burn’ she dropped and broke, beyond all hope of mending, a 525 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a 525 carpet. During the excitement the daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens, and the calves got out and chew r ed the tails off four nice shirts. And all to ■ mJ save $1.50.
