dence at the Carl Perrin place
4cral months ago and last
week took a firm hold on the
family affections when he cor-
nered a rattlesnake on the walk

cided that it Ls safer to simply
take down her sign that was
hanging dangerously by a sin-
gle wire after a bout with Hal-

high winds. Of course, Lib be-
lieves In insurance; but she
says she hasn’t found any suit-
able policy to protect passers-
by, so the sign had to come
down.
