OMAHA LAWYER ENDS HIS LIFE

PRESENCE OF MIND.
NE Was n Keen boy and Was Eduap
to the Occasion When Caught
at Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took firmer grip
upon the ugly.looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, 'Tll
show 'eml"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32-knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious.
Suddenly a rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
"Here,, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there"
1t was one Of those moments when a word
nay win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and replied:
I'm rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said:
"If they amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
the orchard. d."-Cleveland Leader.
