THE FARMER'S SYMPATHY.

A large touring automobile containing a man and his wife in a narrow road

met a hay wagon fully loaded. The woman declared that the farmer must back

out, but her husband contended that she was unreasonable.

"But you can't back the automobile so far," she said, "and I don't intend

to move for anybody. He should have seen us."

The husband pointed out that this was impossible, owing to an abrupt turn

in the road.

"I don't care," she insisted, "I won't move if we have to stay here all

night!"

The man in the automobile was starting to argue the matter when the

farmer, who had been sitting quietly on the hay, interrupted.

"Never mind, sir," he exclaimed, "I'll try to back out. I've got one just

like her at home!"--_Philadelphia Ledger._
