Show MORAL DON'T BORROW. A man who was too stingy to subscribe sub-scribe for his home paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by a neighbor, says the Sebree (Ky. ) Banner. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His father ran to his assistance, as-sistance, and failing to notice the barb wire fence, ran into that, cutting cut-ting a hole in his anatomy and ruining ruin-ing a $5 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing a racket, the wife ran out, upset a four-gallon churn full of cream into a basket of little chickens, chick-ens, drowning the entire hatch. In her haste she dropped a $35 set of false teeth. The baby, having been left alone, crawled through the milk into the parlor, ruining a brand-new $25 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up 11 setting hens and the calve3 got out and chewed the tails of four fine shirts on the clothes line. |
