! They had putty bad name them
Hokums. How they got a liyin' no.
body knew. for they didn't aeem to pay
no attention 10 raisin' nothin' but chill
dun, but the deuce knows there was
plenty of them. Their old hat was like
a rabblt-pen--there was a tow head to
every crack and Granny. Member what
old Cesar said once when the word
come to the store that old Hokum had
gol twins. 'S'pose de Lord know best, ;
says Cesar, but 7 thought dere was
Hokums enough afore' Wal, even
poor workin' industrious folks like me
6nds it's hard gettin' along wen there's
so many mouths to feed Lord n1assy,
there don't never seem to be no end
ont aud so it amt wonderful. come to
think ont, ef folks like them Hokums
gets tempted to help along in ways that
amt quite right Anyhow folks did
use TO think that old Hokum was too
sort o. familiar with their wood. piles
long in the night, though they couldn't
never prove it on him; and when old
Mother HOkum come to houses round
to wash, folks use sometimes to miss
pieces, here and there, though they new
er could find 'em on her; then they
was alters a-gettin in debt here and
there. Why, they got to OWN two
dollars to Joe Gidger for butchers
meat. Joe was sort O. good natured
and let 'em have the meat, cause Hokum
he promised so fair to pay, but be
couldn't never get it out O. him.
Member once Joe walked clear up to
the cranberry pond arter that are two
dollars, but Mother Hokum she see
him comm jist as he came past the
juniper bush on the corner. She says
to Hokum, Get into bed, old man,
quick, aud let me tell the story says
she. So she covered him up, and when
Gldger CAME in she came mp to him and
says she, why, Mr.. Gidger, I'm jist
ashamed to see ye; why Mr. Hokum
was jist a comm down to pay ye that
are money last week, but ye see he was
took down with the smallpox" Joe
didn't hear no more; he jist turned
round and he streaked it out that are
door with his coat tails fyin' out straight
ahind him, and old Mother Hokum she
jist stood at the window holdin' her
sides and laughin' fit to split to see him
run. That ares jist a sample O. the
ways them Hokums cut up.
Old Mother Hokum was a sort O. en-
terprisin old crittur,-fact was she had
to be, cause the young Hokums was
jist like bag worms,-the more they
growed the more they eat, and | ex-
pect she found it pretty hard to fill their
months.-From the atlantic Monthly for
