GETTING RID OF UNCLE DUD.

ue Was Near the Limit as an Ex-
ample of worthless kta.
You may not believe Il. but II 10
possible TO get rid OF worthless kin.
An Atchison man did Il. He had an
Uncle Dud. who was worthless through
and through. Before the Atchison man
was born Uncle bud began being
worthless. He went to church a great
deal. and at church became infatuated
with a young girl. One OF the first
kin stories the Atchison man heard
was how his father had given Uncle
Dud money to leave the country to es-
cape from marrying the girl. When
the Atchison man was boy Uncle Dud
lived ON q rented farm near by. and
the Atchison man recalls that every
year Uncle Duds wife would appear at
his fathers home. and while there Q
baby would be added to the family Of
Uncle Dud. II there was q cyclone
Uncle Dud was In II. and relatives had
to keep him. II there was big fire
Uncle Dud was always one OF the suf-
ferers. II q flood swept through q GER

out. II there was an earthquake Uncle
bud was wrecked. II his crops were
not ruined by drought they failed be-
cause OF too much rain. II there was
distemper among horses. black leg
among cattle. or cholera among hogs,
Uncle Dud always lost his. His wife
was sickly. and his children were al.
ways down with some contagious dts
ease. Uncle bud was great at saying
through all these troubles: The
Lords will be DONE" but the Atchison
man recalls that II was always the kin
who had to pay for the Lords will"
II never inconvenienced Uncle Dud.
AS the Atchison man grew up he had
one ambition in life. to give Uncle
Dud both barrels. A few years ago
the Atchison man received a letter
from Uncle Dud. There had been Q
horrible disaster where Uncle Dud
lived. and he had written to say he
had lost all His health was wrecked
by the horror Of what he had been
through, and he was coming to his rel.
attves with some OF his grandchildren,
until he recovered his strength. II
have q great story to tell you." he
wiote. This disaster is something
which shows the might Of the Lords
fury. and now that It Is all over, I
feel that want to tell you the males
ty of seeing with the human eye the
awful anger Of the Lord"
The Atchison man knew his time
had come. No one knows what he
wrote Uncle bud, but he did what the
Lords anger failed to do: He shot
Uncle Dud to pieces. He gave him
both barrels. and the contents Of
pump gun. He cannonaded Uncle Dud!
From that day to this none OF the kin
have ever heard one word from the
most worthless man the world has ever
known.--Atchison Globe.
