who he's a-makin' up to-
ut don't foller at he's a-makin'
up to anybody jest becus NE, fixes up
some," contended the storekeeper.
IF didn't have to rassle coal lie
bar'ls an sacks o. taters an -four,
might fix up myself jest for the
pleasure 1t nd give me to see myself
in the glass;
You're easy pleased IL that I'D
give you any pleasure growled Old
Man Somarindyk. IF l had your
face, Id learn to shave myself in the
dark"
Its more his figger than his face
that Rufe is stuck on" jeered Baker.
HE has to have his pants cut out
with circular saw to Mt the bows
in his laigs, Rufe does. haint got
no objection to a man wearin' good
clo'es. though. I was Jest noticin'
Ira F."
81 hate to see man put on lugs.' .
said Old Man Somarindyk. ITS all
very well for woman to primp an
pretty. but when a man does II,
seems like to me there's suthin'
wrong with him."
1T sorter depends 'co'din' to my
notion" said Washington Hancock.
1T depends some of the Teller an
some on where he is. Some claim
at fine feathers make fine birds an
others at handsome Is as han'some
does. There was two fellers back
in Nodaway, where I ulster live, t.,
had their. own ideas about that. .,a,hI
lawyers they was. One was namsd
Levi w. Forstetter an the other Toe
Gleason" wv
"christened Joseph. wasn't beg"
inquired the store lseeper. with an
elaborate wink at ,hs rroup,
Wa In tahe no notice of him,
wash. said Seer as Hancock star
~ 80 ~, "' rsrrupter. What about
l.,. ,.,as,I was both gentermen," said
.aan., still regarding the store
1921 with whitening scorn. They
had sense enough to keep their
Sdths shut when there wasn't no
'Ell for them to put their oar in.
There's some folks at hain't like
that
go ahead, WASH" said the store
keeper in conciliatory tones. II was
just a-foOlin'."
"You mean you was Jest talkin fool
ish." Hancock corrected. We'll, as
l was saying" he resumed. they was
both smart men an both of 'em law
yers, but they had their own idees
about Akin up. Levi was right dudish
He had his clo'es made special to N
him an nobuddy else, an his shoes
was allus polished up SOS you coult
see to shave in 'em; he wore a white
shirt and collar an necktie every da,
an you never seen a speck o. dir
about him. That was Levi.
"Joe was jest the other way. You't
never have s'posed he was anythin
but some ornery Bottomite strayed in
to town. He didn't look to have an.
more sense than Rufe's got. II,
used to wear butternut pants, patche,
on the seat, an one laig tucked In hi
boot an one laig out an his OIL blacl
SLOUGH hat had holes In the crown an
his chin whiskers was streaked witt
terbacker. II ever anybuddy locke
like distress, 1t was Joe, but wheneve
anybuddy picked him for fool, the
dropped him right quick.
Levi would get up afore jury al
make right good talk. Jest as you
expect he would, to look at him. He
bring out his facts an figgers al
dates, one after the other, as clear a
cd be an he'd have the law on thi
an that pint right at his finger
ends, but somehow II never seemed I
do much good. reckon he looked to
slick an flne-haired. Anyway he ne
err had much of a business
"He didn't deserve one" remarke
Old Man Somarindyke.
"Well. that's as may be-" said Hal
cock. II reckon most o fthe foil
thought the way you do. You'd have
took to Joe. When Joe got up to MAX
his talk, you felt sort o. sorry for hi
to begin with. He'd look around kin
O. helpless an scratch his head Al
grin silly.
Then he'd begin to say suthin'
a slow, easy way, an pretty 500
you'd find he was sure enough sayi
suthin'. When he made the Gag
scream, It was worth listenin' to. He
send her clear up out o. sight an thu
!. let her down with rush and who's
! to sink her claws into You an In
, deep. An you'd say, Who'd ha
thought the old skeezlcks had 1t
him.
AN whatever he said 'ud sound t
times more convincin' ercount of o
pants laig bein' tucked in bis boot {
. the other one out. Even u II wasn''
. jury case. the Judge nd most allus I
eide Joe's way. The consequence "
that II anybuddy got into trouble
any kind, they'd most allus try to
joe"
p Doesn't that go to show what
J claim is right about folks putin

dyk.
"It cert'inly does" conceded III
