INNOCENT CHILDHOOD.
The Story of Little George and His Uncle
from California.

from California.
One fine bright morning, as little
George Plllgarllc and Benjamin Butter
nut were playing marbles in the vacant
lot that was around the corner from
their homes, an old man came to them.
Good morning my lads!" quoth he.
"And what might your names be, could
| askT "Sure you can ask!" promptly
exclaimed little George, merrily hook
ing a marble while Benjamin was not
looking. Getting an answer, sir, Is
where you will have trouble"
Go get hair cut~ said little Benja-
min triling a happy laugh.
Get them all cut, sir" earnestly
cried little Gorge; zone Is as bad as the
other" And with a shout OF laughter,
for lie was boy of high spirits, he
dashed large COB Of mud in the old
mans eye. Little Benjamin quickly
followed the example of his merry
mate, and when the mud gave out the
lads were not above taking plain
stones. Their voices rang out In child
they pelted the old man. That noon, as
little George wended his way home
ward, for he was lad that had never
to be called to his meals, he thought of
the old man, and wondered who he
could have been. No sooner had he
entered the house than he heard his
mother call him.
Come, George, your dear uncle from
far-off California il here and wishes
very much to see his darling little
nephew"
Holy smoker said little George, 81
am very much mistaken II this is not
the aged guy with the fringe on his
face"
The old man that George had pelted
so hard was, indeed, his uncle, and both
eyes were still black where stones had
hit him.
And did the rich uncle put the gold
watch back in his trunk. and tell little
Gorgle's mother what bad boy her
son had been? Not In many thousand
years, little readerl He gave little
George the gold watch and many other
presents, saying all the while that he
liked to see little boys with spirit, and
when his visit was over he begged hard
that little George be permitted to 20
back to his California ranch with him.
And little George went.
What happned to little George when
he got to the ranchf All, dear readers,
that would be telling.-Kansas City
Independent.
