couple havc been living for several years
and seem to get along with their neigh

has good employment, and the wife Is
frugal and prudent woman. So, taking
everything into consideration, they have
got quito nice little home for themselves
and some money ahead. But they have
one thing that is not o credit to them,
and that thing Is In the shape of great
big, overgrOwn boy that Is one OF the
meanest evidences Of humanity on earth.
Some day, II no Is not checked, the hang
man will get him; but that has nothing
to do with the story.
II was passing by the house yesterday
morning and l noticed chat tho old man
was angry Nv lho ivy. NoW, tho lhtlJi
can talk and hear as well as anybody and
rather seems to enjoy getting crowd Of
boys together and then cursing the old
man, just SO the other boys will laugh.
This time, however, tho old man was mad
and did not propose to allow his hayward
boy to have his own way. Just as was
passing he Inotloned me to stop, and then,
pulling his hand from behind him, brought
to light what shone out in grand style as
newly purchased rawhide. Then knew
there was going to be some fun, and
walked inside the yard. Well, sir, no just
grabbed that boy, nearly as large ms he
was, jerked him into half upright posi-.
ton and then began laying on the leather.
