Farmer Oak, setting poste for Page
fence, is set upon by another agent
with a machine to "make it yourself,
Just as good," etc., etc., who soon talks
him to sleep. He dreams he's back at
the World's Fair, almost famished,can't
live without a good cup of coffee, quick.
Meets stranger with machine. "You
buy the green berry, anything cheap,
resat carefully, grind in this: perfectly
delicious." "Oh yes, of course, you
must steep it, and sugar and cream it,
-takes a little time, but it's so cheap."
Here the nightmare kicks the agent
off the field and brings farmer 0. to
his senses, and he'll use the Page. Farm
styles at cram 45 to 65 cents per rod.
