- The Cover
- John Clymer glimpsed this house with the afterthought appendages while motoring in one of two states, he can’t recall which. Evidently the original homesteader kept tacking on things as his family multiplied, and it looks as if he consulted three different architects who didn’t like one another. By and by—let us imagine—the homesteader’s children all got married and started over again on new houses. And now a new owner, Mr. Pharmer, has moved in and John Clymer, who wanted to paint the multiplying house, has come up with the indolent idea of letting Pharmer do it. As for the future, if Mr. P. assumes his son will one day go to agriculture college, he’d better switch his assuming to art school. The lad’s a born illustrator—Western stories, and love stories will come later.
