prevented, relieved, and perma-
Inently cured.

HE tried to stab me 1cith his big toe nail"
you see, my chum has got sister
about as big as Ma, and we hooked some
Of her clothes, and after Pa got to snor-
ing we put them in Pas room. Oh,
you'd "a LATED. We put a pair of No.
slippers with blue stockings down in
front Of the rocking chair beside Pas
boots, and o red corset on a chair. and
my chum's sisters best black silk dress
on another chair, and hat with q white
feather on on the bureau, and some
frizzes on the gas bracket, and every
thing we could find that belonged to a
girl in my chum's sisters room. Oh. we
got red parasol, too, and left it right in
the middle Of the floor.
well, when / looked at the layout
and heard Pa snoring, i thought should
die. You see, Ma knows Pa is a darn
good Teller, but she is easily excited.
My chum slept with me that night, and
when we heard the doorbell ring I stuffed
pillow in my mouth. There was no
body to meet Ma at the depot, and she
hired hack and. came right up. No
body heard the bell but me, and had to
60 down and let Ma in. She was pretty
hot, now, you bet, at not being met at the
depot.
"'Where's your father said she as
she began to go up stairs.
81 told her guessed Pa had gone to
sleep by this time, but I heard good
deal Of noise in the room about an hour
ago, and maybe he was taking bath.
Then I slipped up stairs and looked over
the banisters. Ma said something about
heavens and earth, and where is the hus-
sy. and lot Of things couldn't hear,
and Pa said damino, and it's no such
thing, and the door slammed, and they
talked for two hours.
II spose they finally layed it to me,
as they always do, cause Pa called me
very early this morning, and when l
came down stairs he came out in the
hall. and his face was redder'n beet,
and he tried to stab me with his big toe
nail, and if it hadn't been for these
pieces of brick he would have hurt my
feelings. l see they had my chum's sis
ter's clothes all pinned up in a newspa-
per, and l s'pose when l go back I shall
have to carry them home, and then she
will be down on ME. I'll tell you what, l
have got good notion to take some shoe
makers wax and stick my chum on my
back and travel with circus as double
headed boy from Borneo. A fellow could
have more fun and not get kicked all
the time"
And the boy sampled some strawber-
ries in a case in front Of the store and
went down the street whistling for his
chum, who was looking out of an alley
to see if the coast was clear.

me in the eye with n cork. and | drove
him ont doors and was just going to
shell his earthworks when the police
man collared me. Say, what's good for
a black eye"
The grocery man told him his Pa would
cure it when he got home. What do
you think your Pas object was in pass
ing himself off for single man at Oco-
nomowoc," asked the grocery man as he
charged up the cucumber to the boy ia
ther.

he does it for his health, the way they all

THEBAD rows MA CONES Ho,rr

THE BAD BOYS MA CONES HOME.
"When is your Ma coming back?" asked
the grocery man of the bad boy as he
found him standing on the sidewalk
when the grocery was opened in the
morning, taking some pieces of brick out
of his coattail pockets.
"Oh, she got back at midnight last
night" said the boy as he eat a few blue
berries out of a case. That's what
makes me up SO early. Pa has been kick
ing at these pieces of brick with his bare
feet, and when came away he had his
toes in his hand and was trying to 60
back up stairs ON one foot. Pa haint got
no sense"
Il am afraid you are a terror" said
the grocery man rs he looked at the in
nocent face Of the boy. "You are al
ways making your parents some trouble,
and it is q wonder to me they don't send
you to some reform school. What dew
iltry were you up to last night to get
kicked this morning.
mo deviltry, just little fun. You
see. Ma went to Chicago to stay a week,
and she got tired and telegraphed she
would be home last night, and Pa was
down town, and forgot to give him the
dispatch, and after he went to bed me
and chum of mine thought we would
have Fourth of July.
