saw a new breakfast food advertised III
an eastern magazine, and, as the hotel
people only kept 50 or 40 kinds of mock

out to the groceries and round up the
new kind. | brought box to the table
at breakfast. and dad fell over himself
to fill his saucer, and then he offered
some to eight boarderS that sat at our
table.
"The breakfast food I put up on dad
was some pulverized cork that | got at
q grocery out Of barrel of California
grapes. 1t looked exactly like other
breakfast foods, but you'd dide to see
dad and several invalid southern col

table, pour cream on that pulverlZed
cork and sprinkle sugar on it, and try
to get the pulyerized cork to soak up
the cream. but the particles of cork float

catch dad in the act of kicking open
the throttle, but | heard something
that sounded like a freight train wreck
and dad and the horse went by me like
horse race, only that the horse was
not on the ground half the time, and
he didn't go straight ahead but just
lowered his head between his legs and
iumped in the air and came down stiff
legged, and then jumped sideways, and
changed ends, and did 1t all over again,
all over the prairie and dad was

ratified and every time the horse came
down on his feet dad seemed to get
shorter as though his spine was being
telescoped up into his hat. | think dad

new fancy side steps and jumps until
dad yelled to me TO get gun and
shoot him or the horse, and he didn't
care which. I yelled to dad to loosen

run lengthways instead OF sideways,

when 7 got there dad was lying under
tree, trying to pray and swear all to

hair and things a horse wears on the
, inside of hisself, and the horse was
standing not far away, eating grass
, and looking at dad. If dad had had his
