Moze bingham, who lives half e
mile below Bingville. thrashed out
his grain 'ast Tuesday. Alb Perkins
who has a ihrasher and does consider
able work in this neighborhood, set
up his machine at Moze's place Mon
day night ready to go to work on the
wheat rick early Tuesday morning,
calculating he could get done by noon
because he wanted to thrash out some
grain for Cy Hoslins on the latter's
farm Tuesday afternoon.
Moze come into Bingviue Monday
evening and hired some Of the bows
to help him thrash. He had hard
work gettin enough to help, which
was why he had to take Hank Dew
berry. Hank is so ALFRED liable to a
sunstroke OF his back is liable to 20
back on him at any time when he has
to work hard, that Moze was almost
afeared to employ him, but he couldn't
do no better, so he offered Hank Is
cts. to help him out. Hank wanted
to know where he would haft to
work. and Moze said ne would put
him at the tail end Of the thrasher
where the straw come out and where
1t was nice and cool, so Hank he
agreed to 60.
Hank was on hand early in the
morning and the thrasher was started
up and all the boys went to work
where Moze put them. Everything
went along smooth for a couple Of
hours when Moze, who was feedin
in the grain sheafs to the machine.

seemed to know and Alb stopped the
machine Brad Hinsley suggested
that like as not Hank had fell into
the thrasher and was at that moment
bein ground up into mince eat.
There was Mortified silence at this
awful thought. Alb. who owns the
machine, said that this was unlikely
because if Hank was fast in the ma

right, whereas it seemed to be thrash

The Leading Paper of the County
Bright, Breezy. Bsllieo.e. Busting

Rufe Green, one of Bingville's
young men dropped into the Bugle
office one day last week to have a
chat. Rufe is long and lank and
awkward and redheaded and
freckled, but he has a kind heart
which covers a multitude of sins.
In the conversation we had with
Rufe he said it was h S opinion
arrived at after much thought
that a young man didn't have as
good a show in the world nova
days as the young man of saw so
years ago had. In other words
Rufe said they wasn't the chances
for young man to make a Twin
now that there was formerly be-
ing as compensation was so sharp
and more TO compete.
We don't agree with Rufe in
this argument and we will tell
you why. We calkilate that the
young man of today has two
chances where the young man of
the past only had one or none at
all. The trouble is not with the
times, but with the young men
of the present. Our boys of Bing-
vile today don't have the sand
and the sticktoitiveness that BOYS
had when we was a boy. They
give out sooner be it in a hay
field or buildin stone fence. They
seem to lack ambishion. They
spit on their hands and roll I'D
their sleeves and jump into a
thing and after they have almost
busted themselves for a few min
utes they go and set down in the
shade and say that they amt got
no show. Young men today hate
to think of sweatin themselves all
up to make a Twin. They would
rather their fathers won d do the
sweatin and let them look on.
We can remember when we was
boy we took opportunity by the
forelock and come blame near
pulling her front hair out for her.
When we come to Bingville in
1860 we didn't have a red cent in
our pocket. But we was full of
ambishion and pluck and persever-
ance and we says to ourselves:
'Hete-we be agoin to carve out
a future for ourselves in this town
if it takes the hair and hide both
off," so we hired ourself out at
IS per month and found to old
Sim CrimInins (who IS long since
dead & gone to his reward, what
ever that is), and we worked
early and late and didn't have
no fourth of Julys off or Christ
masses or anything else until we
accumulated over a hundred dol
lars and then we bought a patch
Of land and bit q house and gent
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-09-11

and got married and made oul
own hvin often the land.
From that on our rise to af.
lt1uence was easy, and look at us
now. We are editor and prop
and typesetter and officeboy and
advertising solicitor and master
mechanick and everything else
of the Bingville Bugle, which has
large circulation of subscribers
who won't pay up their subscrip-
shions and we are looked up to by
the community who sits around
waiting for the paper to come
out and expectin us 70 mold their
opinions for them.
We could sight other instances
Of men in this town who have
made success just the way we
done it if we only had more space.
The argument that the young man
of today don't have any chance
is a eggregiOus error. He does
have a chance, but he can't see
1t with the naked eve. He would
ruther set around Hen Weathers-
by's store and let his dad support
him and boiler hard times.
Subscribe for the Bugle and get
it regular every week instead Of
borying it from your neighbor.

held probably unconscious at that
moment in the awful Jaws Of the
thrasher. so he said ne wouldn't 20
ahead with his thrashin until he
knowd sure that Hank wasn't inside.
Alb swore a good cal at this. He
said he was in favor Of going ahead
and if Hank was inside he would
show up sooner or later in the straw
in chunks. but Moze refused, so Alb
sWore some more and begin to take
the machine apart so he could see
into it. This was a terrible hard lob
and it took everybody present until
plum noon to take the machine all
apart and when they had done it no
Hank nor his remains was found in
side. Then it took the men until the
middle Of the afternoon 70 put the
machine back together again. About
the time the last bolt was into place
who should crawl out Of the straw
which had been thra she'd but Hank
Dewberry hisself. Hank rubbed his
eyes and looked around and asked
if they was through thrashin Moze
asked Hank where the old harry he
had been ali the me. Hank said he
guess he must have got tired and
drapt of TO sleep and got hissef COW
cred up by the straw. and ne said If
there wasn't any objection he calh-
lated he would 90 home and get some
thing to eat. being as he was that
hungry his stummick was gnawin him
inside.
Moze told Hank to 90 home and
be hanged. Hank asked Moze if it
would be agreeable to him TO pay that
IS cts. in wages which he had prom
ised him for helpin thrash and Moe
said it would not be agreeable then
nor never would be, and Hank went
of home a good deal worked up and
threatenin TO have the law on Moze
for breach of contract. Moze said
to go ahead and law, that he would
spend every cent he had in the world
and carry the case to the soopreme
court before he would pay that
seventy-fve cents.
Then the boys went ahead with
Moze's thrashin and didn't get through
until after dark. II was the general
opinion of those present that it would
of been highly gratifyin to all con-
cerned IL Hank would of been found
all sliced up in the inside of the
thrasher and when they didn't find
him there disappointment was terrible
keen.
If Hank could only realize how
worthless and good for nothing he
makes himself on some occasions ne
would actually be ashamed.

The subject of a long-distance horse
race on the same day and over the

1890, so as to clear the runners, and
cover the same course Should the

WASHINGTON, January 9,-Direct

East Africa with a fine collection or
2nimals for the Zoo. The topic of Md.
Bakers address to the society, which

the enlmais, but when he concluded
the first question asked in the discus
sion that followed was,
How did you leave our late Presi-
dent?"
The day l got to Nairobi," SAID
Mr.. Baker, Il was standing in the
street, when all of a sudden l saw
a carriage drive by. In it was a man
wearing a we'll worn khaki suit and
wide-brimmed felt hat. There was
something familiar about the figure,
and as the carriage passed me / re-
cognized Col Roosevelt. Later l was
told he had come in from the wilds
for a rest.
That afternoon l met Kermit
Roosevelt, and he told me his father
wanted me to take tea with him. Of
course, l went l found the colonel
sitting on the veranda talking with

asking him to send them a specimen.
Anything would do, they wrote, from
