A Swedish farmer, who lived on his wheat farm in Minnesota, was taken
ill and his wife telephoned the doctor.
"If you have a thermometer," answered the physician, "take his
temperature. I will be out and see him presently."

door.
"How is he?" asked the doctor.
"Veil," said she, "I bane put the barometer on him like you tell me,
and it say 'Very dry,' so I give him a pitcher of water to drink, and
