of whlsuey was pro- habhy just what he needed for the last two years we have kept a small quantltyvhkhe house for just such emergencies but this was the first vlmetfca flasksbad seen the light of day how mutlr shall t give him that naturally was my flrstthought i really hadnt the faintest notion but i did remember that liquor taken on on empty stomach was not tod good naturally all i wanted was to relievo th shock condition from which part ner was obviously suffering and also to preventhlmfrom taking a chill i didnt want him drunk so very carefully i measured out one tea- spoonful of whiskey and added to it one teaspoon of water now you may laugh partner took it without questlpn but afterwards when he was feeling somewhat better as a result of the bracer of course he said how much whiskey did you give me i told him ondnuivcnrben to forgot it since if ho doesnt fee bo well he says- another such good shot of whiskey mlght help him if he is feeling better he says it must be because of that good dose x gavo him well maybe that will be one for t he record for our temperance friends so thai is the funny side of tho picture if only thnt were all un- fortunntely partner still has plenty j of aches nnd pains which ore any- thing but funny however i am suro we should really be very thankful because although partner is just about as sore and stiff as he con bo i hqving landed right on the small of his back thonnrr no bones broken boh of course has plenty of extra work to do nt thehnrn as n result and i am getting a kink in my shoulder from tho unnccustomed massaging and rubbln but all that doesnt mean partner is in bed oh no not thnt mnn he is out at the barn as usual doing n little less and t t i i b t rtu the job just the same and do you know what i have actually found tho bottom of my mending basket it took some doing believe me hut i stnyed right with it nnd now i feel as if i had won a terrific tight or something isnt itll good thing that almost every day brings with
