Old Andrus Gooble. OF Betzville, was
one of the shrewdest mcr In town, but
twice in his life he made mistakes.
Once was when he lent money to Or
one McDoOble, and once was when he
thought he could work the money out
of Orone
It seems that a couple of years ago
a syndicate Of prominent Betzville az
riculturists decided to build a tele-
phone line, and when they went to
Orone he said he would be glad to
90 into 1t. and he subscribed one hum
dred dollars. but when the time came
to pay up. he did not have the money.
50 he went to old Andrus Gobble and
began talking q loan out Of him. Old
Andrus refused at first, but Orone has
a harsh. grating voice. like the rough
edge Of q rasp file. and after he had
talked to old Andrus awhile Andrus
felt his ear drums giving away. Ev-
cry time Orone said q word It was like
rasping . fle across Andrus's ear
drums. and In q few minutes his ear
drums were rasped down 80 thin that
they palpitated- painfully. and they
were hardly any thicker than q sheet
Of tissue paper, Old Andrus saw that
II Orone coaxed q few minutes more
his ear drums would be worn quite
through, so he told him to shut OF his
voice and he would lend him the
money. So Orone did. and Andrus
made the loan.
Then he started right in trying to
collect. but he had q hard job of II.
Orone did not have any cash. nor any
thing to attach. All he had was the

in his house and connection with the
lnter-farm Telephone line. Every time
old Andrus Gobble telephonea him
about the debt Orone would begin a
hard-luck story about eighteen fur
longs long. and his grating voice
would file q little more OF old An

had to slap up the receiver In self-pro-
lection. But the telephone line was

wire Of old Andrus's barb wire fence.
and one day when old Andfus went
out to look at the fence he found that
every barb on the top wire had been
filed Oh close. and Il did not take him
an instant to realize that II was Or

fled OF the barhs IS Il passed over
the wire.
So old Andrus. who is a cute Old
codser, saw at once how he could get
even with Or0ne. snd he got right to
work and planted his ten acre south
field in horse radish. As soon as The
horse radish was ripe he dug a couple
of roots and went in to the telephone
and called up Orone and asked him
when he would pay up. When Orone
began one Of his long explanations.
old Andrus took the receiver from his
ear and held the hnrse-radish roots
I'D In front of the receiver. and the
result was Ike magic. Az soon as Or
ones grating voice struck the horse
radish roots II began grating them.
and the ground horse-radish fell like :
shower. So old Andsus knew the plan
would work an right. Prom that on.
an inst ~ hs dug his crop Of herse-
radish. old Andrus would take II In to
the telephone and call up Orone and
AJAX him about that hundred dollars.
snc Orone would begin explaining.
and old Andrus would turn the tels-
phone receiver on the pile Of horse
radish roots. like the nozzle Of hose.
and Orone's grating voice would crate
up the horse-radish. Old Andrus Cobble
used to stand BY and weep. and he
was never exactly sure whether he
wept most for Joy or whether he Vas
weeping q plain horse-fadish weep.
He would stand there and the tears
would run down his face in streams.
The fact was that he was weeping q
