strong, and it was only by the merest
accident that he was rescued.

Lacked Experience
A farmer went one day to buy a
bushel of buckwheat for sowing. The
man who sold the grain was away,
and his wife w’aited on the customer.
She took a peck measure and they
went to the granary. After filling the
measure twice she poured the con

“But,” remonstrated the farmer, "it
takes four pecks to make a bushel.”
“Oh, does it?” returned the woman,
untying the bag. "You see, 1 never

grain before I was married. 1 always
