Strange Tale of Sprinklers and Stockings in Small Town
A ragged column mixes jokes on sprinklers and money with travel notes and local gossip. It mentions a Texas blind man, Deputy Sheriff Zweifel at Lodge Pole, snakes in river tributaries, farming chatter, a Clarke at Clarke's Bridge, and rough humor about horses, beavers, and beaver tales. It ends musing on values and hard work, urging prudence and self-reliance.
