The wind was raging and Ben- nion’s five gallon hat blew away. A week lIpter he received a pack- age from Ted Samuel of Kim- ball, Nebr. His hat was in it. Bennion’s name and _ address was stamped in the band of thej hat and, his only explanation is that it must have blown all the way across the state of Wyoming before it came to rest in Kim- ball. A Father Is Not Without Honor Somebody once remarked to Grimm that his children must be! the happiest in the world since! they lived in the midst of fairy tales. Grimm replied by telling how one day his son was told by a that his father had written the famous fairy stories.
