Show Eph Williker, the laxiest man in Jayhawk county, was conducting conduct-ing an experiment. Lolling in his favorite rocker on the front porch of his little cabin, he would turn his face to the west and rock a little while, then turn toward the south and rock some more. Changing back, the experiment would go on. "What'sf the trouble, Eph?" hl wife called out, finally attracted by his peculiar conduct. "What are ye' movin about so much, fur?" "Jest trying to find out which is the easiest rocking eaat and west with the wind, or north and south with the grain of the floor," was Eph's reply. |
