Say, jim, did you ever have on
pair Of them skates with wheels on "
inquired one boy Of another.
NO. but | heared heap bout 'em;
as how all the people is crazier than
bedbugs"
Did yer know what makes EN- era
~? No, Ell? Well I'll jist tell yer
what makes 'em crazy. Yer kin jist
bar witness yerseIf how young folkses
like huggin'. | know yer kin, cause
I've seen yer layin' in the high grass
along side Yer front steps, watchin'
Bill Jones hug yer sister Annie when
was layin' on the other side.
Gosh, he's a reglar lemmins squeezer,
amt her? Well, as l was jist going to
tell yer, it's jist fur huggin' that all the
peoples got wild over skatin'. Las
night that lady what lives next door
to US sent over and wanted ter know if
| couldn't 90 to the rink with her COS
her father and brother were both away
and she was afraid to 60 alone-reck-
on she amt got no Teller. Well, my
ma made me 90 and gimme money TO
git in and git some skates, peryided |
wanted ter take a hand at pilotin' 'em
round the floor When we got ter the
rink I started Of at the door, and said
Ia wait fer her when she cum out, but
she made me 90 in with her cause she
wanted ME to skate with her, SEEM
there want nun of her gentleman
friends goin' ter be Their that evenin'-
but she amt got nun, cause sh's hom-
/ lier nor one-eyed poodle. She took
hold ny my elbow and kinder dragged
me in, so | was perlite enuf ter 60. |
I got her skates and put EN- on and
then loaded myself onto pair OF the
derned little wagons Then she want
ed me ter skate with her and didn't
wait ter cit my consent, but just took
a hold Of my hands and startid out
usin' 'em more like handles ter a walk
in stick than anything else. Them
derned little Wagons amt no fool
things ter skate on, and cause she
didn't know how ter skate, and I did
mt neither, we didn't get very fur
afore sumthin' happened The first
thing | knew about it one of her skates
was runnin' kinder wild round among
mine, and the other 'un took tack
towards the seats. Both were huntin'
4 fur some place ter stop, and she seem
ed kinder anxious ter have 'em git
there. But the heavy act cum on when
she Civ up tryin' ter 90 both ways ter
onct ter ketch her feet, and threw her
arms around me like Bill Jones did
around Annie, only she threw her hull
weight in the huggin'. Ny feet wasn't
stationery with them wagons on 'em,
and when they did glt a start it took
a yoke Of oxen to stop 'em, cause Their
was 50 much weight BARN on EN-, yer
know, jim. jist dropped the length
NY my legs and Their wasn't no snow
to make it soft like ther is on a slip
perry hill Don't yer know, jim, the
teacher let me stan up all the time
fur the las two days Well, that's why.
I But yer see, jim, here's the pint Eff
[ had a been strong enuf ter held that
girl up Yer can jist bet yer shoe strings
I'd had some solid huggin' | iist
/ seen lots and lots w girls trip and
fall inter the arms NY some Teller.
He'd list hug her with all his might,
too. Its the gloriestest way of hug
. gin yer ever seen. Them brass bands
iist chune a Teller right up ter 1t and
Civ yer insperashun-but say, if yer
ever Try it, don't git a big girl what
can't skate, fer huggin' dead weight
amt no picnic. jist tell yer though,
them Kinks are reg lar huggin' bees"
