"IIyke, be you a-takin' TO putin up
Thorn there mottors?" inquired the man
who never went home, cycling the spat-
ter-work sign, peace and Prosperity"
which Mr.. Hyke had newly hung behind
the bar.
"Wal, now, it's amazin' how fashions
will git hold! They amt a house you
go into, nor a store, neither, but what
the Golden Rule or the Commandments
is starin' you in the face from some-
where's. Are the community Twin up
to 'em any bettern they used to, thinkP
1t seems to me, Hyke, more like they're
kinder sneakin' out of it in this way,
like the Teller that writ his pra'rs onto
q single SOS he could point to EN- cold
nights, n say: Them 5 my sentimentsH
instid of gittin' to his knees. I've
noticed the more people amt Twin
up to q motor, the more it's
bound to be stuck up over their

nam, he's got one of 'em up over his
writin' desk, n five lawsuits a-goin' on
wish his neighbors. Love Yer Enc
mies! My goodness! that do seem the
onlikeliest of 'em all; now. don't it? II

don't see as Peace n Prosperity has
neglected you so awful bad"
Were 1t standin' up to the bar that

two dollars, or four or ten, or whatever
it mought be, that are comm to me
every week from the business my wife
attends to, n that l kin spend as !

fast enough, as my wife often say to me.
If the females of this town. she often
make the remark, were wimmin sech
as wimnin were intend to be, that
Teller Hyke, n others resemblin' him,
