BILL WAS TOO eRASH.
He Met Up With RedIeaded Man and
wouldn't Turn Out.

Wouldn't Turn Out.
On top of load of hay which came
into the western haymarket the other
day was a man of 60 and q young man
of about 23-father and SON The We
/. hlcle had no sooner come to a halt than
both scrambled down, and it was then
seen that the young mans nose was
about twice its normal size, and his
eyes were biackened and puffed until
he could scarcely see daylight. There
was blood on his face and shirt front,
and Of course there was natural curl
osity among the men lounging around
TO know what had happened
mo, William didn't run agin
bridge or have tree fall on him, A" said
the father as he wet his handkerchief
at the drinking trough and wiped away
the blood. THE fact is that he met
with disappointment on the road rs
we was comm in. "
what sort of disappointment"
| queried policeman who intended to
recommend raw beef and perfect quiet
for three or four days
"Waal, you see, William was drivin
when we left home We had come along
about three miles when we meets a red
headed man leadin calf A Teller with
calf orter turn out and give the road
to load of hay, but this one wouldn't.
He jist turned out half way and stood
still and yelled that he'd be burned if
he move an inch. Then | says to Bill,
says |, Bill, he's peppery cuss and
you'd better turn ont. ="
"Ies, you ought to have turned out
for redheaded man" said the officer.
Il says that to Bill, but Bill he says
to me, says he: IN be hanged if dol
If he don't turn ont I'll git down and
make him wish he'd never bin born into
this sinful world" Then he hollers at
the man and warns him of what is to
come, but the redhead don't skeer wuth
a cent. He ties the calf to bush and
| spits ON his hands and screams for both
of us to come down to once. ="
Then you gave him half the road?"
asked the officer.
''Noap. | wanted to, but Bill he SAYS
to me, says he: Dad you hold the lines,
and I'll git down and gin that cuss one
bat ON the nose and put him to sleep
fur two hours. l didn't want Bill to do
it, but he was sot, and down he went.
He off with his hat and gin a yell and
bore down on the man with the calf.
And put him to sleep?''
''Noap. He never closed an eye tC
sleep. When Bill lighted on him, sun
thin happened-sunthin happened tc
Bill. He stopped all of sudden and
laid down, and when he got up again
he was rs you see him now. The red
headed man invited me to come down
| and light on him also, but l didn't ac-
| cept. He had been gone about 10 min
utes when Bill woke up.
What did Bill say?" asked the Off
Ger.
"Nawthin that heard. Bill, did you
say anythin when you come to?"
Mum, replied Bill, with a solemn
shake of the head.
'And you didn't say anythin fur the
next two miles, did you?'
Mum"
"And then all you said was to ask
me if you d bin struck by lightnin?'
Yum"
That's all, as fur as l kin remem-
ber, continued the father, land now
if you II sorter look out fur my hay I'll
lead Bill to doctor and see whether
he's mortally injured or only crippled
fur life. Come ON, Bill. You hain't
bin sayin word since you was struck,
and all you've got to do now is to step
high and lean on daddy's arm. DE
