till here last spring., says old man ldeo
to me. between drinks, as twere. but
I went to town one day and got drunk.
You win meet many man in the coun-
try that wouldn't tell you plain, HAT
footed truth like that. But raley did
git drunk, Rufe-most heilauousiy
drunk. And before got home l fell
of my mule, and also fell asleep In .
jam of the fence over there in Ruther-
ford's lane. From the way in which the
sun swung around and went down on
me durin recess. it would seem like l
slept there about three hours. And
when at last l woke up blamed old
buzzard was settin there on the fence
lookin at me powerful hongry and
familious like. l pinched myself to
find out for certain whether was dead
or not. and about that time the buzzard
Topped his wings and flew OF to tha
swamp.
Jest little too durn smart. says
to myself. but there are plenty OF peo-
pie in the world rs smart as that buzz
xard. if not some smarter.
