aiti aint t to fooled forty years cars ahead for she says shell lose her guess if this dont last full as long 00 as the rod and make her wear her felt slippers all th the forty years too ell she says it il was the she says after that donation party to fix him out with new shirts last week she looked to be spared any further infliction for one while She says the idea as the con congregation is expected to lo shirt the minister is surely most new to her herbut hut but she says she conic come to the fore an 11 was one to help mike him the six when she see sec as it il was expected to be beher her duty lS as a Christian an but she says she surely hoped when she hemmed the tail o 0 the la last l one as shed seen the last o 0 him for a good spell But no Mrs Lathrop seems it to be an so he learned to her keen an sorrow yesterday morn mornin in for she moren fairl fairly on her way to town when she run square up tip to him on the b an ana anas as a result was just in time to be the first for hint to try ry Mullins his system on an she told laid Granma new memory an mc with tears in her eyes ces an her felt slippers rs 50 sol solemnly crossed on top o 0 each other a as she can CUI not 1101 see seewhy of all people all an her shoes of all wh why it had to be her I certainty felt to agree firs things tiit gt for she if theres anything on 01 the hide t e earth as you to ItS your shoes dont want to apply a memory for lor shines i is as 5 nobody wants to remember ho is things as is happiest forgot W cU 71 Mrs rs Lathrop seems as this new memory system t tem m 0 o the ministers is a thin thing as he got out ont of a Sunday Sundar School magazine for out ont a puzzle Seems you rOI u c 5 big cities till titI their capital tellers letters spell Memory n 1 then n you vou send the answers an a dollar for postage 1111 an then they send you rOil the memory system complete in one book for at all Or you ou can put ut utin noth but the nun in a 1 stamp an not guess felt in his circumstances he ister guessed cause he hc as Sc Seems as they the ought to waste even een two cents m hd had a mo t awful time afore they found l for forthe forthe the Y an n for a while the they was mo most l afraid tl e d have tl ti he be reckless with two cents butt but thc they t got t It inthe end c t 1 ln n sent em cat alt all oil off ut an the IJ book conic hack back with a in m it to he be lent stamped pa page e it conic come lack hack day b before fore an the tit the he tl theory ister sat up tip most mOlit o 0 the ni night ht IU an then Mrs Macy says h he just got It into hint 11 hi time at er right on the he flung for Fate to let Jet him go an trouble bridge She says she W t iio more 1 than anyone anone docs s when th they y meet a SI minister an ansite n nhe how any a site he says S she Ih cant see blamed for not knowin as mean a acro ro s a c can C ln be lies hes just grasped a I new principle an is to apply it to the first thing handy She says he asked her where she was gout gain an she told him frank an open as she was ivas goin to the city eity to buy some shoes as was warranted not to lo pinch She says he asked her what kind of shoes they was an aim she opened her little bag an got out the paper an rea read him as the they was shoes He asked her why she had it t wrote down an site she told him as she had it wrote down clown so as not to forget the kin kind an maybe get pinched again 4 Vell rehl she says she was st sideways an particular so she in no state stale to suspect when he told her as she could easy throw that piece 0 o paper palter away an go to town without it She says she told him as she that she could easy throw the piece of paper away an JO go to town without it but how was she to remember her shoes which was the reason why she was talon the piece o 0 paper alon along Then she says as he says as hed show her how to re remember remember member her slices shoes m an welcome an she says as she thou thought ht as long ong as it was welcome she might as well stand still so she did didWell U Well Vell Mrs Lathrop you can believe me or not ju just t as you ou please but bul the first thing he did was to ask her what reminded her of which struck her as most strange in the start out But she told him as ag it remind her o 0 but shoes an let act it go at that an she says it il was plain as then he had to think o 0 as it could remind somebody of an she says he certainly dill did he have to think a long while an then he said finally as it reminded him o 0 four noses Vell Mrs rg Lthrop Lathrop Mrs Mac says she never heard the beat o 0 that in all her born days das an her mind went back to her childhood days an a uncle she had an the forgive her for as hed surely been drinkin she says she was so took aback that he see it itin itin in her face nn an told her right then an there as it was a memory system Seems as the key to the whole is as you must reduce to Mother Goose so as not to need the brains as youve since an the minister told Mrs Irs Macy as shed find it most simple to apply He went on to ask her as what did four noses remind her of an she says she thought she see sec the whole game at that an told him quick that thc they reminded her hero 0 hut but oh my seems that aint the way tva it goes at all an he begin an explained it all over again an where he come out in the end was as four noses would just naturally remind anyone as had more Mrs Macy of Two legs sat upon three legs you know the rhyme where the dog is four legs an gets the mutton as is one leg in inthe inthe the mans lap lapell Vell ell Mrs Lthrop Lathrop you ou can maybe understand IS as Mrs Macy was just about plum paralyzed at that Her stor story is as she just stood afore him with her mouth open what under the thc sun she teas gout gain to be bc asked to remember next an when he said that was all an for her just to simply tear up time paper she forgot all about Luther Stotts wife ou on the hack an aim tore up the paper Ile He said said for her to go right along to town fully an freely on two legs sat sal upon three legs to get her her shoes and she says what with so foundered and him the minister into the bargain she he along to the station as mayhe shed he be to do it dl Well firs 11 rs Lathrop I 1 wish you could hear Mrs J rs Macy for that aiti t but time whatever you ou ma may think an time the re rest t gets an II In the first place Lakin so long for the minister made her have to run for time the train an you know now what Icy Macy is on a run She says I she got so hot hal as she was not only on a run but mostly on a pour all the way to town hy she says it was teas most terrible an she says ever give her such a idea CIS as she was a born fool afore for with it all she had to keep on sayin Two legs sat sal upon three legs as regular lS as a clod clock an n she teas so afraid shed forget it that she dare are even take her usual little nap on the way an so had no choice but butto butto to land all wore out It ell as soon as she was lauded she remembered about Luther Stotts wi fe heir hein on the back 0 o the piece piece 0 o paper an consequently tore up tip along with her shoes an site she says the start she got over havin torn up L Luther ther Stotts wife drove droe what Two legs sat upon three legs was to remind her oi of clean out of lice her head not to o 0 havin hain long since lost track o 0 the way to get any connection between that In an her shoo shoes Well I rs Lathrop I only wish of been there thereto to hear she says nobody ever did afore says site she went up one street an down another like a lost soul lookin for a policeman She says sll sli felt she latow where to find lind She c dont look for Luther in the directory cause hes s long ong dead an tn only his wife lives there an as s for lice her hoc she was dean clean h beside si c She sl says S she was so math mal at the minister as shed have throw cd away her lc h an her marriage mar if l been any way to ens off Finally she just put her pride into her pocket went into a shoe store m an asked cm openly peny i if Two Iwo legs sat upon three legs reminded em o 0 any thin in the way o 0 shoes She says SilS the moan 1011 looked lt at her in a way as passed all belief an said it reminded him more o 0 pmt pants than shoe I she hc says h he went out into the street at l that an her heart was was too low for my any u e but the thc end want h J 1 yet for as sh she was I along who should she meet but bul Drusilla Cobb CobbWell 4 Well Mrs Lathrop you know Drusilla Cobb v what she was afore she left here an Mrs lacy Macy says ten len years aint altered tier her Whenever Drusilla wa was glad to see anyone she always had a reason an Mrs Macy says it speaks loud for how clean used up she was over ocr her shoes that she never remembered that way o 0 Drusilla never saw no one on the thc street un uness unless less ess she had a reason an if she lead had a reason it was Heaven help them as she saw on the street It So now nosy she saw Mrs Macy lac an asked her home to lunch an aim Mrs I lacy Mac very gladly went She says no words can tell how hots lively and pleasant Drusilla wag teas an she fet felt to be glad
