Il see they are lot of Tawk goin' on
About marriadge Laitly," NAV told paw.
Are they?" paw says.
Yes nav anserd. Sum people say
folks OF to Get married Soon and Some
say they Ottent."
We'll" paw sed, 81 don't Blaim them.
That's the crate Trubble with people
these Days. They put it off too Long
Look at Our pairunts, the way they yoost
to Do. You didn't see Them waiting
Around till They had to take medasun
for the Room nut Tizzum Before they
Got to Havin luv's yung Dream becoz
they wer afrade they mite make Mis-
take. No. The furst Time thay felt Like
getting married thay got, and Lots of
times Before man would Get old enuf
to vote he wouldn't Have enuff trundle
Beds in the Hous to go Round. Did it
Hurt Them to get married Erly? I CESS
not. They could go rite on Growing I'D
TO Vtgerus manhood Just as well as Be
fore they Got to be the He'd of a family
My Uncle Dan got married when He was
Ate Teen and his wife was fifteen Her
next birthday, but she new How to Trim
down a mans trousers to Boys size all
Rite, just the saim.
1T makes me Sad whenever I think
how the Children that are agoing to Get
Born in the Dim fewcher will Be robbed
of Their burthrite."
L don't see How it'll be Bad for their
Burthrite becoz their parunts Don't get
married yung," nav told Him
You would paw says, eff a Wommun
could Look ahead like men with Reesun-
ing powers and see things. Where are
they ennything That is plezzunter for a
boy than Having a grandmother? Boys
that never have emmy grandmother don't
no What thay mist Look at me when
was a Littel shaver. Ny paw ust to
hammer the life nearly out of me when
would forget that He told me not to Do
things, and 1t often makes my Hart AXE
when 1 look back and Think how I had
to sneak in thru the kitchen when I would
De on Swimmun or fishen all Day with
out the aid or consent of paw and want
ed Him to forget about it Before the next
morning. That's WHARF It Comes handy
TO nave a grandmother. When I would
go TO Visut grandpaw He would let me
cline trees and Fall out of the Hay NOV
ana Tie things to the cows tail without
all the Time trying to get me Discurridged
ana down harted by Saying I was the
worst Boy he ever saw. No. He wol,ld
just stand thare with his pale of milk
In His hand and Smile on his fails that
neeriy brings the Tears to nv ewes when
l 1nlnk of 1t and asst me if 1 didn't want
TO 90 nome tomorrow Becoz my pairunts
mite be Greavun for their child
And dear old Grandmaw. how she
yoost to Try to make me Glad by letttn
me Eat doe nuts till I would get sick
at the stummick and Haft to go to Bed,
ana When l would upset the jam on the
PANTRY Shells and sed 1t wasn't me she
never Got me in a Corner and Wep and
Talked about where liars would
Go to Till I would Get to feeling Bad and
Haft to own up. That's why 1 say the
Boy that Hazzent emmy Grand pairunts
is Going to Get robbed Of his Burthrite
Yes nav ansered, you sed that
Once before, but why is the boy agoing
to Get robbed of It?'
'Becoz they amt agoing to Be emmy
more Grandparents after while' paw
sed, IF people keep on waiting till they
reach years of Discreshun Before getting
married. Sposen man gets married when
He's forty and Then his boy Waits till
He's forty too. What Sho is His poor
child agoing to Stand for Having
Grandpaw? The furst Thing I'VE no if
Things keep agoing the Way they are
now Grandpairuntsll be a Next inckt
race of People and That's no way to
make the world a Nobuller and Better
place. What foxes OF To do is Get mar
ried yung. Marriage is Like Dose of
Caster oil emmy Way. The longer you
think about 1t the worse it seems and
the more you guess you won't take it.
1.-The way to Do is shut your eyes and
Gulp it Down without Thinkin. That's
my motto in Life George.
