HoopLuMlsM CULMINATED.-Last
Monday three Albany youngsters,
each about as big rs piece of chalk,
becoming weary of parental authori-
ty and the monotony of the school
room, surreptitiously bundled up their
clothing and ''lit out' for "furrin'
parts,n determined to exile themselves
from their native trundle beds and
their mothers spanking apparatus.
AS their fathers had not emu!ated the
example of that ancient parent of the
Prodigal son and given them their ap-
portionment of the paternal estate in
bullion and "Lincoln seabs," their
exehequers were not sufficiently pleth-
oric to allow of the luxury of rail-
road ticket, and they consequently did
the next best thing--started south
ward on foot, as did the palmers amt
pilgrims of old. They pressed forward
with the lightning speed of the tum-
biebug or the velocity of the pismire
until the evening shadows began to
throw sable veil over their pathway,
when they found themselves at Tan
gent Station, six miles from home,
and "nary red" in their pockets where
with to purchase meal or nights
lodging. They, however, made their
wants known to some of Tangent's
citizens and were taken in, fed and put
in their little beds. Their hosts sus-
pected all was not right with these
juvenile pilgrims, and by dint of sly
and guarded questions they succeeded
in eliciting from them their names,
their parents abodes, and the whole
story of their direfui expressions in
the school room and under the paren-
tai reof, and, instead of sympathizing
with their sad fate these cold hlooded
hosts in the morning actually placed
them upon the cars, paid their fare
and senl them back to tleir homes!
Strange to say, at home they did not
meet with exactly the same reception
rs did their ancient patron OF the
Prodigal business. Instead of the
brass band receiving them triumph
antly at the depot and the obese and
oleaginous Juvenile of the bovine spe-
eies being slain for the qualification
of their hungry nlaws, they were treat
ed to a healthy application of ''strap
