his mornins doin his best to teach Peter

Dad Thought Him ornery
His dad says to me one day with
tears In his eyes I reckon that cub O.
mine is just plain ornery. I've did ev-
erything en- think of, firm sendin him
to bed hungry to kickin' the stuffing
pears like he just can't sense the game
nohow.
/ don't see whatll become of him. he
says. An there amt no question in my
mind but that the old man worried his
self into his grave premature frettin'
about that boys future.
s IT c'd see he were breakin' down when
he tole me about the efforts he was
maxim TO bring the boy up in the way
he should go, so IS t when he was old he
cd go it. The tears come in his eyes
when he were a tellin' about what he'd
did that mornin
Gave Him Five Dollars
az give him So he says, AN put UP SIS
so Peter he stood to make SO or lose
nothi11' an I says to him if he lost I'd
lick him good and proper.
There couldn't be no more liberal
proposition nor that, nor 1 don't see no
better inducement a young feller ed have
to do his best. You'd ha' thought he'd ha'
made showin anyhow, a'ter all the
teachin' I've gave him.
Well, you wouldn't believe it, but
on'y on the second deal we made jack
pot, an it went on for two or three deals
afore he opened it. I come in on two
queens an we both drawed three cards.
He bet, an l raised it. findin a pair
o. little ones in the draw, an say, Green
hut what dye reckon that boy done He
called me an showed down three aces.
Just naturally, I couldn't wait after
that afore givin' him the lickin' I'd spoke
about. did lambaste him good, an took
pains. to explain why l done it, but
t'wa'n't no use.
The next time he caught three of a
kind he raised me back ag'in pat hand
an went broke, so 1 had to lick him some

goin' to do no good. You can't poun' a
quart o. whisky into pint flask, an I'm
skeer'd my boys pint flask.
He .Pined Away
After that the old man 'peared to pine
away like. an when he cashed in he left
everything he had to his widder with in
structions that Peter want to have
nothin' from th' estate 'thouten he shd
make some show O. bein' somebody.
She was teiiin me about it, KNOWN
I were a friend o. the old man, an likely
to tell her the best thing to do. She says
to me that he were terrible distressed

He amt no good on airth, he says
to her, an / don't see no way O. maxim

Prayer With Qualifications

The people of my state are firm
believers in the efficacy of prayer
says Representative Gaines, of Ten
nessee. Il am reminded of little
thing which happened during the days
when the North and South were pep
pering away at each other.
Tt was at a religious gathering in
one of the rural districts during the
warm days of summer. No rain had
descended for weeks, and everything
was about burned up. A good preach
er, whose heart and soul was in the
cause of the. South, made a prayer,
closing with an appeal for rain, saying:
I'VE need refreshing shower, Lord.
Send the blessed rain and revive droop-
ing vegetation We don't want one of
those light drizzly, ,drazzly rains, but a
regular ground soaker and trash litter,
but not heavy enough, good Lord, to
raise the Cumberland river so that the
Yankee gunboats can come in and take

says:

be, Greenhut? Is we expected to play
poker with this club for clothespins or
toothpicks, or Is 1t goin' to be reel live

So then / tells 'em t the widder is

all set up straight an took more notice.
