scratching the corn out root and branch"
Thus screamed old Katy Dcvlin.-and
soon Il lovely half grown girl is running
across the corn lot. and hurting clods at
the offending birds with such accuracy
that they are flying in every direction
But a word with you ALL friendly read

time narrative. This little Shamrock.
who was now fifteen years of age, had
been bound to old Katy, from an or
phans home, in Wilmington, Del, ten
years before. And we can only say that
little Shamrock was as pretty as IL pict-
ur". And she was as fun-Oving and as
trlckcy as pet coon. Her sheen of
golden hair and azure hucd eyes, were
the rage Of all who ever gazcd upon
them.
But J will ask my readers to 20 with
mo just up the county Il short may. above
old Turkpytown, in We Fourth district.
And We would like to stop and greet dear
old jeff, bless his old bones, for he was
waltZin4 around Turkcytown. even be-
fore old Katy took little Shamrock to live
with her at the old FoXchasc in We long
time back And Uncle Tom lives at Il
crossroads just before we reach Turkey
hand in passing, for Uncle Tom has
mrandcrcd Whereabouts just about as
long as Uncle Jeff, and if the truth was
really known to the writer, he might say
that it was over Katy'S dingy bar that
these bold boys inhibited their first
draught of the ardent, oh. ever so long
ago. Now please do not mistake me and
think that these splendid old gentlemen
are ncbriatcS, not SO, nor never We're
such. but they always loved their social
dram, and both are as full of fun even
up to this day as n frisky kitten. Many
a glorious fox hunt have these two old
time huEtSmcn gallopcd on, when rcyn-
ard was turned lose in front of Katy's,
yomdcr at old FoNchaSc. And none ever
kept better dogs than these worthless
either.
But now we are at the FoXchase its
modern name is Appleton, but we shall
know it by its former appellation, be-
cause it is ancient history that we are
writing, and not present, because if we
were talking about present affairs at
AppotOn, none would read the article.
We will now return to Little Sham
rock. and see the frolickSomc little jade
after she had frightened the chicks nearly
TO death, from the corn lot, she has
climbed the post fence and is skimming
along on the top rail like kitten.
Get down, do get down, Little Sham
rock, YOU might fall and break your little
bones \ ripping peal of sweet laugh
ter is die only sign that She hears old
Katy. and with yellow curls streaming
she &lidcs along like II squirrel.
