BOY WAS NO COWARD.
Convinced His Father by Filling Him
Full of shot.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Speaking of the boy who used his
sisters toothbrush to paint his double
ripper sled and forgot to wash out the
paint before he returned ii to her ROOM
observed the major, reminds me that
you never can tell wha a boy will do.
There was old Squire Leather's boy
Hezekiah-the squire thought he could
not depend upon him, but he found he
could.
Squire feathers had a fine watermel-
on patch, of which he was very proud.
But h annually lost a good many mel
ons through the raids OF tramps and
other predatory persons. At last he
got mad and vowed he would protect his
own interests. SO he loaded up the
shotgun pretty nearly to the muzzle
with bird shot and gave it to HeZekiah,
and sent him out to STAN guard one
night. The boy made some objection TO
going, and the squire got ii into his
head hi was afraid. He buk him
roundly, told him that he was unworthy
to pear the proud name of feathers,
and pushed him into the night. Then
the squire went grumbling to bed. In
half an hour he got up. saying that he
was going out to test the boy.
"Tain't necessary to make a tarnal
fool of yourself. Jonas says his Wife;

SAYS the squire. No; admit you're a
fool said his wife. 'Mebby | am says
the squire. But hat boys a coward.
He takes after your family. I'll show
you he's afraid to pull the trigger and
the squire went outdoors and into the
melon patch. HeZekiah was in one cor
ner behind a burdock, waiting for game.
The strange figure attracted his atten-
ton through the darkness, and ne gave
it the left barrel. The doubling person
jumped 10 feet into the air, howled
murder and ran for the fence.
"Hezekiah's Instructions had been to
make a clean job, so he let his worthy
father have the other barrel. This set
tied the squire and he crawled to the
house and sent for the doctor. listening
meanwhile to remarks appropriate to
the occasion from his loving and duti-
full wife. The old man was always a
little lame after this, and it used to
be a pathetic thing to e him tell the
story of the occurrence, and at the end

is always stationed at the bar when not

"A Milk White Flag" is symbolical Of
the peace-loving proclivities of the
Ransom Guards. Besides the brass
band and the lone private. there are
lovely women with Cpmely shapes who
constitute an important adjunct to the
company as Nivandieres and color
bearers. As a set-onf to the fantastic
burlesque of the militia, there is one
real soldier introduced, a member Of
the regular army. who is a guest of the
and who thoroughly enjoys
the incidents and accidents. The con

the performance. The Ransom Guards
are extremely jealous of a rival com
