The story comes from one of the local
papers in Arkansas about a man that was
afraid of a thunder storm and crawled into
a hollow log. The thunder rolled, the rain
poured down in torrents and the log swelled
up until the poor fellow was wedged in so
tight that tie could not move. All his past
sins ftegan to pass before him when he sud
denly remembered that he had not paid his
newspaper subscription.. He said this made
him feel so small that he crawled out of the
log through a knot hole. T. W.
