In his haste the hoy ran over a four-dollar stand of bees and in ten minutes 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 from his anatomy and ruining a five-dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fc-nce and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating corn. Hearing i he racket, the mother ran, upset a four-gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty-five-dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through j the spilled cream and into the parlor, j ruining a twenty-dollar carpet. Dur-i in the excitement the eldest daugh-1 ter ran awa'y with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens, and the calves got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts. And all lo save fifty cents! Moral: Subscribe for this paper at once and protect yourself from such calamities. Exchange. |
