THE OLD MANS DREAD

I1E OLD MANS DREAU'
a lawyer had come all the way
from California to pay $4,000
legacy over to Uncle Jerry Hove
field, who had lived all his life in
the little town in Ohio, and after
breakfast two or three Of us were
invited to go along and witness
the transfer. When we reached
the house Uncle Jerry was tight
ening up the hoops on the rain
barrel, while his wife had gone
to see a sick neighbor. They
had been fully identified the day
before as the proper parties, and
now the lawyer said:
"Well, Uncle Jerry, I want to
hand you that money and get a
receipt and be off this morning"
"I'm kinder busy just now,"
said the old man, as he stopped
hammering a moment.
eyes, but have $4,000 here
for you. ] don't believe there's a
man in the world who wouldn't
stop work long enough to sign a
receipt for such a fortune.
"Maybe not, but it looks like
rain and l want to get this bar'l
fixed rightaway. Can'tyou come
over in about an hour?'
"Look here, man, did you ever
see 10000 in all your life?" asked
the lawyer, as he opened the
satchel and displayed a big pack
age Of new greenbaok.
"No, never did," replied IN
Gle Jerry, as he pounded away.
"Did you ever have $1,000 Of
your own?"
Glands, moi"
"Never had hundred all to
once, did you?"
"Never. Durn that hoop, but
it don't want to go on"
81 must ask YOU to get this
business over as soon as possi-
ble," continued the lawyer, as the
old man kept at his work.
"But it is goin' to rain
"Yes, but here's your money"
"And I've got to get this bar'l
fixed"
"It won't take over ten minutes
to fix up our business. Fun along
and fetch your wife"
"See here," said Uncle Jerry,
as ne laid down his hammer and
wiped the back Of his neck.
"Maria has gone over to Bloget's
to be gore an hour. Before she
went she said must tinker up
this rain barrel"
''But can't you stop your tink-
ering to handle $4,000 in Geld
cash?" exclaimed the lawyer in
indignant tones.
eyes, yes, I kin stop work;
but what about Maria?"
"Well, what about her?"
"Why she'd come home ex-
pectin' this bar'l TO be all tinker
