The Stingy Man and the Home Newspaper Moral
A tall tale warns against not subscribing to the home newspaper. A stingy father sends his son for the paper, bees sting the boy, the father injures himself on barbed wire, a cow eats corn and dies, a churn of cream ruins a kitten basket, the wife falls breaking her leg and teeth, the baby spills cream and ruins carpet, and the daughter elopes with the hired man taking the savings. The tale ends with the moral to subscribe.
