I'd like to be boy again with
out a woe or care, with freckles
scattered on my face and hayseed
in my hair; I'd like to rise at four
O'Clock and do a hundred chores,
and saw the wood and feed the
hogs and lock the stable doors;
and herd the hens and watch the
bees, and take the mules to drink,
and teach the turkeys how to swim
so that they wouldn't sink; and
milk about hundred cows and
bring in wood to burn and stand
out in the sun all day and churn
and churn; and wear my brothers.
cast Off clothes and walk four miles
to school, and get II licking every
day for breaking some old rule
and then get home again at night
and do the chores once more, and
milk the cows and feed the hogs
and curry mules galore; and
then crawl YEARLY up stairs to
seek my little bed and hear Dad
say: "That worthless boy! He
isn't worth his bread ~ I'd like to
be a boy again; boy has so much
fun; his life is just a round OF

than closing stable doors, and

and doing evening chores.-Ex.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The best known instance Of a great work
left unfinished by the author is Dickens
Edwin Brood" but Is by no means ex-
ceptlonal 1t is, however, remarkable
fact that Dickens makes reference to his
apprehension that another of his works
would never be completed, for in his
postscript to "Our Mutual Friend" writ
ten in September 1865, he recalls the cir
cumstance of his being in "a terrible de.
structive accident" on Southeastern rail
way on Friday, June Q, in that year. HIS
concluding words are: Il remember with
devout thankfulness that I can never be
much nearer parting company with my
readers forever than l was then, until
there shall be written against my life the
two words with which / have this day
closed this book-the end" The mystery
Of Edwin brood was never solved prop
erly.

enter an Enclosure single handed. with
nothing but the little club mentioned above
and meet a grizzly, or, in fact any kind Of
bear, that may be brought against him;
that he will either kill the bear or reduce
it to submission, as those who manage the
combat shall elect On one occasion il
seemd as though Bills offer would result
In a match, but just as all the prelimina-
ries were closed the Society for the Pre-

and stopped proceedings Whether this
was done to protect Bill or the bear was
