Now. Mr Hester, don't think for

\ mi r letter, hut what happened to j
you recalls to Kit Mil a recent lnei- j
dent wldeh- t will relate to you. A^
man we w ill call John' for short, w rote j
to me and wanted me to pay hliu $300.
ila ma^es because he said, one of my
automobiles kicked hi m. broke ids arm,
knocked hint over and skinned bis
bead. I Investigated v I he matter and
found the facts quite different. What
really happened was that the man was
leaving Ids bouse (me morning when
bis wife came to I b<> door and said,
"John, (here i* n<> wood out." and John
replied, "Well, I'm Hiot taking the n.ve!
with me." aiyl tliey d.resso<F*hls wounds

can tell from your, letter that you
like a. good joke.
.Von mentioned milk cows and I
will tell \ ? 1 1 1 .sonic more confidential
Information. Von no doubt have read
in t be paper* that I am working on a
tiii milk cow. Well. I have perfected
it and will be able to sell them com

So you know Randolph Rose, too.
\es. 1 remember lie used to wind up

thank yoii." Hut what lie should have
sjiid was. "I tank you.".
L/^ould write you a long letter, but
as > tin probably know I am a very
! hii-y man. However, there is just one
I
more, thing. Von state that after the
j automobile kicked you it also spit itl
! your face ami called you nigger. Are
j.V"ii -ure. Mr. Hester, if wasn't a pho
