Man too stingy to buy paper causes comic cascade
A penny pinching man sends his son to borrow a neighbor's copy and chaos erupts. Bees sting, fence breaks, cow eats corn, cream spills, teeth lost, carpet ruined, and the baby crawls through milk as the household erupts. The piece shifts to politics, detailing Senator Clark of Montana and alleged bribery, with figures of hundreds of thousands of dollars and multiple officials implicated amid a Paris Exposition update from Commissioner Peck and McKinley.
