Every time I return back to the old
Panther Creek settlement the old
home place where Twas horned and
I bred and brung somehow my wan
derin feet will tote me eff down there
TO the old spring under tie hill. A
tremendous big ehas e has come over

/, And it is plum maryelsone, friends
and fellow citizens, but there is nothin
else in the round created world that
puts me in mind of the dim and dis
tant and f1reamy past Ike the old
spring down under the HILL
1t puts me in mind of one time when
me and Joe Nick Stringer had to staald
up and take large dost of fatherly chas-
tisement. A gang of us boys had went
possum huntin the night before and
broke into old man Tom Jernigan's
sugar cane patch. Sugar cane at home,
and to spare, you understand
but nothin would do but we must
break in way long in the dead hours
of night and take somethin that didn't
belong to Us. Human nature was hui
nan then-lilfe it always use to be and
like it is till yet-and somehow old man
Toms sugar cane was a, whole lot more
softer and gweeter than any we could
find at home. So, eonsequentially, we
went in and broke out with fifteen or
twenty stalks, and then climbed ulj
around the juice thereof and toted it
of.
The next day Joe Nick he had come
Over to our house and me and him had
slipped off down there to the spring to
hold Il private eeonfabulation. But Eless
gracious the next news we. got here
come the fqternal ancestor Of your
humble .fell.w servant and busted up

regards to the sugar caile crop, and he
maintained that stealth was stealth. We

days before I could tell for certain

and she had all the general appearments

her weight in wildcats.
To be certainly of course everybody
wanted to know when and where the
war had busted loose and what it was
all about. The old lady didn't do any
tuDfin to speak of with her mouth, but
the old man put in to explain the where

PUNCH AND JUDY.
The Origin OF This Ever Popular Enter-

The Origin OF This Ever Popular Enter
taInment.
| Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics OF
Punch and Judy, and the mimic fhe-s
ater in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement to both
Young and old. The origin Of this al
ways attractive entertainment Is not
English, as many who have enjoyed ii
taay suppose, but according to an old
book, Punch and Judy are of Italian
ancestry. In the district of Acezza,
near Naples, the people are very much
indicted to the making of wine from
grapes; and It is curious that. from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droll wit and comic fu1l
Many years ago IN the season OF the
vintage, which is a TIME when every
body seems to be ftal of tim and frolic,
some comic players came along
through Acezza. They began I'd poke
fun at the vintagers. and in war of ssit
the players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagers
fellow with an enormous red 1iose,
long and crooked like powder bern;
and he was the very tIrolicst and wit
test Of the whole company, The play.
ers were SO tickled with his witty say
ings, all set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began to
think that this droll fellow would be a
great success to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted; and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and great, deal of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buffoon and aHwere delighted.
This example led to the establish
ment of droll or buffoon in all COM
panies of comedians; and he was al
ways called after the original one,
whose name was Puceo d'Aniello. This
was, in the course Of time, ,softened into
Polecenello; the Frenah made it, Pc.
liehenel, and the English Punehineflo.
After time the English, for the sake
of brevity, left Off the latter part Of the
word. and called it plain Punch.
Hoy judy originated. history Goes
not record; but it is veey easy to sur
mise her story. Such a merry fellow as
Punch had as good q right to q wife an +
anybody, if he could get vne. Why nota
One might think that his beet-lilSe nose
would have stood in his way OF finding
a woman willing to marry him; but his
wit was an offset to this Women ara
fond of wit, and PuAch would have
played his part III il he could not have
made it cover his nose.
Now that we have supposed Punch to
have had wife, and also supposed her
name to have been Judy, what was
more natural than FOR this aniabIe
couple, now and then. to have a bit of a 4
breeze? They lived wandering life,
and, like other people IN! their station.
took little liquor to raise their spir.
its. After the effect was over. feelinga
little peevish, they fell to calling each
other names. and hard blows followed.
So this is their whole history Detroit

explain his questions. But The lawyer
he wouldn't explain any TO speak of.
! IF the court pleases,''' he would say,
this is only "a little legal technicality

he had saw Wash and Miss Louisiana
