THIS YOUTH WAS BADLY LEFT.
Many smart, idle youth has racked
bis feeble brain for some months past
trying to contrive some little Grick on
his neighbOrS or friends on Hallowe' zen
night. Most of the Stepney young
men have grown into manhood and
gone beyond boyish foolishneSs. While
there are few young ladies left that
make strong drawing card for out Of
town youths, with their fancy teams,
which the young ladies no doubt ap-
preciate. But when they get turned
down Halloween night 1t makes very
good time to even matters up little.
So thought certain polished youth.
But this joke turned upon himself in
stead of the young lady. He secured
bis papa's new force pump and brand
new milk pail and just enough of the
youths with him to thoroughly enjoy
the joke, and planted. himself only a
short distance from the front door
ready for action. AS the young lady
appeared the signal was given but in
stead OF the young lady appearing it
was her pa and so excited was the
youth that he scaled the fence leaving
pump and pail behind him Pa is now
force pump and expects soon to buy a
cow SO he can use the milk pail.
