Now They are Mad
On" Each Other

"Baldy" Sisson and II. E. Pilon
are mad on" each other now and
do not speak as they pass by. 1t
came about this way: Badly"
had sever turkeys in a yard. They
kept getting out, and he nearly
ran his legs off chasing them back
in aud every time when he did
he would stand around and make
.unprintable remarks about the
|"!!!--!!! turkeys, any
how"
Now Mr.. Pilon also had a tur-
key that ran at large. One day
Mrs. Sisson spied a turkey on the
outside of the yard and immedi-
ately informed Badly that there
was another turkey out" Badly
swore a harsh and grinding oath,
seven syables long, hat he'd be
~,-,--. if he'd run
any more turkeys in. They
might go plum to b-h-Halifax for
him-but he did, just the same,
because Mrs. Badly made him"
This is where Mr.. Pilon appears
~ the scene. He knew how many
turkeys Badly had and also knew
of the chasing of the recalcitrant
birds. When his turkey failed to
turn up he leaned over Baldy's
fence and counted eight turkeys
in the yard and he knew where
his bird had gone. So he round
ed up Badly and this is about
what took place;
Say, you long legged trout
catching champion, what + you
with my turkey in your
penn"
And Badly stood up on his legs
and made reply; II amt got your
dod-gasted, measly old turkey.
You are II desendent of Annanias,
and can prove it,"
"Yes, you have. You've got s
turkeys in your yard and INT of
mine, cause mines gone.
You just come and count your old
turkeys and see."
Grumbling and protestingly
went to the yard and after
the birds until his head
dizzy he was compelled to
acknowledge that there were eight
in the yard. Then he stood off
and did a stunt of Gus words that
the bystanders said was ''gist aw-
full"
And there is where the matter
stands-Baldy has Pilon's turkey
and wont take it home and Pilon
swears he won't go after it. Mean
while their friends are laying
around to "see it come off"
