There were four of them, and they

A countryman5 was driving home
in low truck wagon, drawn by an
aged and methodical gray horse. The
young bloods came dashing up with
their 3prancing bays. The young
bluods were beerY. oHf ~ asus798tf
But the countryman had about two
drinks of whisky in him, and hence
had The advantage Igoqz 4Isdl1a
Ia gill of whisky contains the same
amount of fight as gallon of beer,
and then it is so much handler and
less cumbersome. as ss.
The young bloods drew rein and
the countryman holIered whoa! The
v. b. asked the C. if he could tell them
where they were going.
The profane c. told them to " hell" !"
Then one of the y. b. said, "you're
a blsnked liar.'
AT this the countFymAn laid down
his lines and got out of his truck
wagon right into the middle of the,
road, and made a speech as follows !:
g You roosters has lit on the wrong
fence. just one of you stay iii The
wagon and hold the horses, and the
other three get out right here. | can
lay all the dust between here and
town with We. OH I'm the feller
that can keep the. flies off. Pm better
Than any muskeeter bar. Jest one of
yer hold them horses-my old mare'll
stand without hitchin'-an the bal
ance jist wallz to Joseph right here
now. Come on git out!" and the ir-
ate. countryinan announced his firm
belief in the caeihe parentage of the
Young bloods. Then he danced and
prapced up and down the road and
kicked at the horses ears and gyrat-
ed his long arms and threw his slough
hat up in the air. g Oh. I'm cata-
mount, am. l like to be stopped in
the middle of the road, / do. I'm a
four wear old bull PAWN up big clods
right out of the ground, | am. I'm a
whole menagerie of royal Bengal til
gers, and cage full of grizzley bears.
I've fit i'll the ring, | nave. Get out,
say. and I'll show you whar you're
going I" @..f-.
Then. three of the young bloods
pulled off their coats and accepted the
pressing invitation. The other sat i'll
the buggy and held the horses, He
was the lucky Que. He could go to
see his Girl the next night, if he want
ed 10. and not have to Sell her that he
had been out 10 the base ball match
and got hit with the ball. The best
place in that vicinity was III the bug
gy holding the horses.
Well, the three bounced out. Then
the countryman sat those long arms
going, and the three immediately inn

The countryman seemed to hnve
about fifteen fists.
I'll tell you whar you're goin,
he yelled. as the first of the three
tried to climb over the fence on his
ear.

cd a back sommersault in the ditch.
g An' this is The way for you to

three tried 10 balance himself on his
nose in the middle of the road. 1
He started for the lucky fellow who
was in the wagon holding the horses,
but the lucky fellow let the horses go
and got out of the way.
Then he made another speech as
follows:
"Oh, Pm an earthquake, am. Pm
a volcano right from the bowels of
the earth. Give me some more nuts
to crack. Give me room! Give me
some more raw meat to chaw upi"
Then the three slid off behind the
fence, down to where number four
was holding the horses, and they slid |
softly into that buggy, and the buggy
slid quietly into town, and the three
slid Iurtivcly into q drug store. They
had been out TO see The base ball
match. and got hit with the bali.
They knew where they were going
the balance of the trip. Atall events |
they did not Iuquire of any more
countrymcn, quietly driving home in
truck wagons.
