Bud Got Creased Up

Bud Hinclley, who ain't quite right in his head. got into a awful mess onG day last week which he ain't exactly over as yet and may not be for sone time to come.
 Bud he seen sumbuddy greasing q wagon which give him . idee, SO he thort he would do the same thing to the little red wagon which his mother gave him last Xmas, SO Bud he tt1k the wheels often the wagonS but he didn't have no grease so he snuk into Sim Wilkins shed next door and found . pail of coal tar, 50 Bud he made be- lieve that this pail of tar was wagon grease, so he pereeeded to grease his wagon, and when he got through Buds own mother didn't scarsely know him.

 But he had tar on his hands up to his shoulders and his hair was ali messed up with it and one eye was fulls to say nothing of his clothes. Mrs. Hinckley laid Bud acrost her knees and give him a good spankin, and got hen own clothes, and espeshially her hands. all over tar. Then she warshed Bud in kerosene and got some of the tar offen his face, but she couldn't git it outen his hair, so she tuk him to Hsrve Hines, our tonsorial barber. and had Harve cut Buds hair down clost to the roots, and as a result Harve got tar all over his shears and also over his clippers and also his barber chair.

While the sermon was being preech-

While the sermon was being preech- ed there was more grasshoppers pres ent to hear it than there were mem bers of the congregation. They were crawling over the seats and hopping about the floor and during the most sober part of the sermon one, got down the back of Deacon Butterworth's neck, who had fell asleep over in the amen corner, and then likely the grasshopper sunk its fangs into the Deacon, becuz he woke up with jump and begin to claw hisself under his left arm and hollered right out before he thort, 'Its one of them dunn grasshoppefs aginP Some folks as heard the Deacon say it insists that he didn't use the word "dum" at all, but another word something like it but more expressive. As for the Deacon he got right up, clapped on his hat and left the church and went home, where he had to strip before he could git the grasshopper offen himself, which was all snarled up in his clothes.
 During the discourse a grasshopPer clim up on the pulpit, and as Rev. Moore had just reached his "eightly" the grasshopper bumped itself and hopped right into his left eye, which scairt the parson SO that he like to of fell over backwards and his specs flew often his nose and broke out one glass from them. =
 We trust that ere next weeks copy of the Bugle reaches your hands the peslsy grasshoppers will have went and gone In the meanwhile let us be pashient and forbearing and endure this awful calamity as well as we can.

Bill Hepburn, our artistick black smith, went to the co. seat last Satter- day, as ushual ostensibly on business, but more espeshially to git full and come home and disgrase hisself as he has did every Satterday for, To-, these many years. Bill got half gal jug of kicker and also half gal jug of ammonia for his wife.

Bright-Breezy-Bellicose-Bustlin stlins

While we was down to Hen Weathersby's store tother ev'g, Ranse Smiley, who was present along with a storeful of other rep resentative citizens of Bingville, who had aggregated together for the purpose of indulging their selves in soshial intercourse, Ranse he says to us, says he, Say, why don't you go and write a editorial for the Bugle on dog days-I should think that dog days would be a likely subjeckt for a edi- torial?"
 There uset to be a feller over to Hardscrabble who has been dead and gone for To, these many years by the name of Bill Slim. From the time Bill was borned until the day he died, folks uset to rig Bill about his name and it pestered him so that he said he wisht to goodness that his name had been anything else but Slim. Bills name was Slim, but he weighed 275 pounds in his stockin feet. Whenever a stranger was interdooced to Bill as Mister Slin," leven times outen a dozen the stranger would say, "Well, your name may be Slim, but, by Heck, you hain't what a person would call slim be youw Bill said that joke got to be SO old with him that it might of well had gray hairs on it. He said if he had of been so slim that person could of spit through him, as you might say, it wouldn't of made so much difference, but to have the name of Slim and then be SO dognashion fat that he couldn't scairsely git through a common-sized door was almost more than he could bear.
 The anxshious reader of this edi- torial will nacherly wonder what if anything Bill Slim and them as | joked about his name has got to do with this editorial, so we will explain.
 By consulting the files of the Bugle for the past 19 years we find that early in August of every year we have wrote a learned editorial on Dog Days" As regular as "dog days" have occurred each year we have took our pen in hand and dasht off a editorial about same. That's why it makes us as disgusted as Bill Slim uset to bt when every stranger who met Bill would make a joke about his name thinkin that he 1.-the stranger) wa' the first person who had evel thought of the joke, when persor tasks us why we don't write a edi torial on Dog Days" We calkilat'

he did, and then he spit out what he
 had begin to drink and hollered like a wild Injun until he was heered all oven Bingville, becuz what he drunk the last time was ammonia, which like to of choked him to deth. The only way Bill can acct for it is that the two jugs goe jolted lip in transit and become mkt, as you might say, so as he couldn't teli one from tother, being as they was both alike. Most folks thinks 1t was a power- full good joke on Bill.

GOOD ROADS

Maryville, Mo-, June 15.-'The
building of good roscs not only is a
civic duty, it's religious duty" That
is what the Rev. Father F. P. Placid,
pastor of the Catholic church at the
Benedictine Monastery near Concep-
tion, Mo-, has been preaching to the
people in Jefferson township, Nod
away county, for many years. It has
had its effect. The township is now
organized into four road districts, the
roads have been or are being graded
and contracts have been awarded to
the farmers in the different localities
to drag the roads after rains or as
often as the road overseer call on
them
This ehtsrprIse has transformed the
gully washed, rutty, mud-puddled,
smooth dirt bouIeyards, seryiceable
any season of the year.
A powerful influence has to be
brought on a man to induce him and
his family to attend church Sundays
in the rainy season when the roads
leading to the church are deep in
mud. Such highways are calculated
to either make man swear or stay
at home on Sundays, neither Of which,
according to the teachings of Pather
Placid, would be quite proper on the
holy day. Bad roads make slim con-
gregations in county church.
