bought pair Of boxing gloves and
took about 20 lessons in what they
calls the art When harvest was
over and he had got through he Jest

he could lick anything that travelled

either way. but Jest waited When
young feller OF 20 gets chip on his
shoulder somebody's purity sure to
come along and knock 1t of. One day
a tin peddler drove up. and l saw Sam
steppIn' high and spittin over his
shoulder, Bimeby he got up row
With the feller and knocked him out
In one round For two weeks after
that 1t was brag from mornin' till
night He got sassy TO me and TO the
Dayburs, and one could SEQ what he
was achin' for. We was diggin' 'taters
one day. when the same peddler's
wagon drove up. and Sam turns to me
ana says;
Dad that peddler has come back
after more. Come along and see me
put him TO sleep"
We went up TO the house TO dis
kIver that It was the same hoss and
wagon, but different man. He said
he was a consumpuyc who was ped
din for his health. and that he doesn't
exert hiSself much for fear OF
hemorrhage of the lungs. Sam Was
nightly disapp inted and was going
back TO the 'taters when the stranger
said SomethIn about his bow legs.
Purity soon they was passln hot
words. and I was tryin' to quiet EN-.
when the stranger got up and called
Sam a liar and jumped down from his
wagon Sam went for him and
squared of and led with the left, and
the next thing I saw was his heels in
the air He scrabbed up and went
down again, and the third time ho
went right to sleep and laid there.
Then the stranger laughed and
climbed on his wagon and drove away.
II took men the old woman 30 min.
utes TO revive Sam. and we found him
a changed young man. He's read 40
chapters In the Bible in the last 90
nights. and has committed IL hymns
to memory. and when | ask him how
he feels he rolls his eyes and answers:
I'm affecting, Dad. that I'm not
long for this wicked world. and I'm
a-hopin' that you and ma am wip SO
live that you kin jlne me ia that bet
