Monroe, Wis,. May 29. While on his way home from a day's shopping at Rockford, W. H. Boyd, a prosperous farmer who lives just across the state line, brought his team to a walk and scratched his head. He was sure he had forgotten something.Try as he be would, he couldn't think what it was so he drove on. Arriving home his loud "whoa" brought the children out to see what daddy had brought them from the city, Their welcoming shouts were quickly silenced however, "Where's mamma?" they asked in chorus. Then Boyd knew what he had forgotten, his wife had accompanied him to the city and while she was making some purchases for herself, the absent minded father had driven home, without her. He broke all speed laws driving back to rockford 12 miles to pick her up.
