The Boundless Capabilities off Boy.

Burlington Hawkeye.
An exchange says boy will tramp 247 miles
in one day on a rabbit hunt and be timber in
the evening, when, if you ask him to go across
the street and borrow Jones' two-inch auger,
he will be as stiff as a meat block. OF course
he will. And he will go swimming all day,
and stay in the water three hours at time,
and splash and dive and paddle and puff, and
next morning he will feel that an unmeasured
insult has been offered him when he is
told by his mother to wash his face care
fully, SO as not to leave the score of the
ebb and flow so plain as to be seen under
the gills. And he'll wander around a dry
creek bed all the afternoon piling up pebble
fort, and nearly die off when his big sister
wants him to please pick up basket of chips
for the parlor stove; and he'll spend the big
gest part of the day trying to corner stray
mule or a bald-back horse for ride, and feel
that all ife's charms have fed when it comes
time to drive the COWS home; and he'll turn
ten-acre lot upside-down for ten inches Of
angle worms, and wish for the voiceless tomb
when the garden demands his attention. But
all the same, when you want friend that will
stand by you and sympathize with you, and be
true to you in all kinds of weather, enlist one
