Finally one day he inquiredof | his mother how it was that the doe. tor could reach above the pulpit. “Why, he stands on a box,” res plied his mother. The next time Colonel McMurtry '« attended church he craned his neck /i to see the box, and this actiom | brought down upon his head the - critical attention of Dr. Woodrow, who reprimanded him for his curf~ osity. “I was In hopes that I’'d be able to say I'd met five generations of the Wilson farafly,” said the Colonel today, “but I'll have to content my. self with four.” Colonel McMurtry is a wealthy ofe ange grower.
