BUD IN TROUBLE.

( "Wen 1 sorter think the critte1
is a-takin' Bud to town. If he
keeps on 1 am hanged. if I'm
a-goin' to give him that twenty
five cents, kos he won't earn it.
Now all that Hank could see
was cloud Of dust down the road,
so he turned and went about his
evenings work in the barnyard.
He had not worked long when he
saw a cloud Of dust going towards
the pasture.
"What the dickens is that? Bud
and the steer. Well, of all the
capers [ ever see that beats them
all. Hees a-goin' a darned site
faster now than he did the time he
was on that Wheel All [ can see
is his feet. Cess I'll jist hitch up
Buds old boss to the cart and go
to the parster and see what the
dickens the matter is.
When he arrived at the pasture,
Bud was laying on the grass and
the steer was standing near by
quietly grazing, Bud still a-hold
of the rope.
"What the dickens be you
a-doin' here Bud?"
"Well, Hank, I come so gol
darned quick [ don't know what I
am a-doin' here"
"Well you jist tie him behind
the cart and then jump in and I
will drive him a part Of the way;
he can't run away now when hees
tied to the cart"
All went we'll this time. The
town was reached and it being
quite late there were a great many
on the street In order to reach
Bills place it was necessary to 60
the whole length of the main
street. They had gotten most to
the end of the street when the
steer stopped, and Buds old horse
being unable to compete with the
young steer, stopped also. Bud
turned around in his seat and
gave the steer a cut with the whip,
but the steer stood still, looking
first one way and then the other.
''Say, young fellow, move on,
don't be blocking the street there, I"
shouted a policeman.
Bud gave the old horse a cut,
but he was unable to stir the steer.
Bud being mad, he turned and
struck the steer a vicious blow
over the nose with his whip. The
steer turned tail too and started
back towards home. For a mo-
ment there was tug of war, but
Buds horse soon played out and
started to back. Once started he
was carried along quite rapidly.
There we're many spectators and
it was a queer sight The rig
which had just went up the street
was now going down the street;
but they soon came in contact
with lamp post and the steer was
compelled to stop, the odds against
him being too great. Bud was
taken into custody for disturbing
the peace.
''That's the darndest and mean
est critter yer ever see. was
a-takin' him over to Bills place,
but the cuss sorter changed his
mind like

it tomorrow" Roxy.

price fer him too. Bill Ginkins,
the butcher, gived me sixteen dol
lars fer the critter, and [ want you
to take the cuss over to Bills
place jist as soon as yer get yer
dinner"
"Say Hank, be they anything in
it?"
"Well I'll tell yer, Bud, seem
you have been darn rattlin' good
cuss to work, [ will give you
twenty-five cents arter you git
back
"All right Hank, that's a bar
gain. Gee whizz, there's a-goin'
to be some fun afore [ git that
critter to town; but I sorter think
[ kin manage the cuss some way
or tother"
"Well Bud, you kin put halter
on him and lead him or drive him
jist as you please, jist SO you git
him over to Bills place.
"You better give me that twen-
ty-five cents afore you fergit about
it Hank
"Ho! no! you needn't be skeered.
You git that critter over to Bills
place and sure as [ stan in a
number twelve boot I'll be square
by you, Bud
"Darned if [ know which would
be the best way. [ CESS l kin put
that long rope on him and he will
go all right
well you kin try it any how"
Bud entered the barnyard with
a handful of salt. Hank stood
by the gate.
Come boss, boss, come here
you old cuss. I'm goin' to give
yer something yer like. What the
dickens yer skeered Of any how?
[ amt goin' to hurt you"
"Say Hank, how the dickens kin
[ ketch the cuss any way. He is
feelin' sorter good by the way he
runs around. He won't even come
fer the salt
''Well Bud, jist sprinkle a leetle
mite on the cusses tail, maybe you
can ketch him that away
"What the devel you tryin' to
play on me now?"
"Now you got him Bud: hees
goin' in that shed. Hurry up now
and you've got him.
Bud soon closed the door and
had no trouble in placing the rope
on the steer. He had no trouble
in getting the steer out of the
yard. The road which Bud had
to take in order to get to town was
also the road which he had to take
in order to get to the pasture, only
in a different direction, the town
being four miles to the south, and
the pasture one mile and half to
the north. The steer had been in
the pasture for two months, and
as soon as he passed through the
gate he stopped and looked at Bud
and then down the road towards
the pasture as if considering which
was the best road to take.
''Say Hank, the cuss is a-think-
in about goin' to the parster and
I'm leetle Altered I'm a-goin' to
have dickens of a time. Well if
he goes to the parster, I'm a-goin'
too, kos [ wont let go this rope as
long as J kin hang on
''That's the way to talk, Bud.
You will git him to town and I'll
bet on it. I'll give him a starter
and git him a-goin' all right and
then mabee he will not bother
you"
So saying, Hank struck the
steer over the starboard bow and
started towards town on the run.
Of course Bud could not keep
ahead, so he kept behind. When
they had got some distance, Bud

"One OF the strangest things about the
management of English restaurants" re-
marked a gentleman who has recently re-
turned from visit to London to the
writer yesterday, lis the custom of charg-
ing diners for every slice of bread which
they eat. For instance. day or two be-
fore my departure from the British capital
1. as mark of esteem. invited several
English friends to dine with me at one of
the most celebrated of the fashionable
West End restaurants. Well, the repast
was served in a private ROOM and every-
thing went off splehdidy until the coffee
and cigar stage was reached and l asked
that my bill be brought to me- There to
my utter establishment, the head waiter in
the hearing Of the assembled company. an
preached me. and in a loud voice asked
And how many breads ave you 'ad
sir?
This question I could not answer as
had not been engaged in counting the num-
Der Of slices consumed, but one of nv
guests. who had evidently kept track of the
bread, noticing my embarrassment said
in my behalf. -Four plates
All! muttered the waiter that's one
shillin h'extra,' and after adding the
amount to my bill,- he handed 1t to me for
inspection.
''Of course I paid for the bread. but
have been wondering ever since l did so
why the American custom of not charging
for the staff OF life is not introduced over
there"
