Or One Day With Boy In the New HI
Dorado.
The little Klondike boy came into the
house at II O'Clock and said to his mother,
who was gold busting the furniture, ''Oh,
mamma, what can do for fun?'
why don't you play with the little boy
next door?" asked his mother, wiping the
perspiration off her face and burning the
handkerchief that no gold be lost.
I did, and we were throwing nuggets
at yellow dog, and he threw my two
pound one that I was keeping for luck
right through the bakers window, and he
kept it, F" said the little fellow, choking
back the tears
''Well, don't cry, Harry, over little
thing like that. Papa will bring you an
other if you ask him Why don't you take
your shovel and go out in the back yard
and dig some more yourself?"
''Oh, that's no fun Besides, they re SO
hard that I've bent my shovel -
''Wen, can't think what to suggest
unless you take your watering pot and
sprinkle the road in front of the house.
We might as we'll lay the dust as to have
it blowing all over passersby, who walk
away with it, And the mother put her
feather duster in the stove and went to the
closet for a fresh one.
Little Harry enjoyed his new sport for
awhile, and then he came in and in an
angry tone of voice said: Say, mamma,
there was the meanest woman out there.
She's from Chicago, for Tommy told me
so, and she stood with the dust blowing
ON her until I laid it, and she tracked
around in it until her shoes were covered
with mud, and then she went away, and
when 1 called out to her to come back and
wipe her feet she only jeered at me-"

Just then the door opened and Harry
