DICKEY'S
CHRISTMAS SHARE.

written for the Refractory

Mrs. Hicks YVES sitting at the
stove with her slippered feet on the
Jump off" as Dickey called 1t.
The day was dreary and damp
and so was Mrs. Hicks. Her spirits
sank lower and lower as the gloom
settled deeper without, and when
Mrs. Hicks settled herself for a spell
Of the blues, no earthly object might
remove them.
Mrs. Hicks had cause for blues.
"Pa is Just as aggravating as ever"
she was grumbling to herself. Here
is Christmas Just at the door, only
seven days away Thd can't squeeze
q cent out of him. Other women
have real husbands, they as looks
after lovin' apart as well as the
pocketbook and here am married
near forty year am never yet went
out and raally wasted any money on
pretty things, even at Christmas.
"When we wuz In the dairy bust
ness, twas me that MIXED the cows
and peddled the milk, too, done all
the cookin' and washin' and ironing
and, what did he do? Clear out a
stable, maybe, but collected the
money always. Twas only once |
stole from him, wish ] had the
chance again, I'd steal him blind
know what did with the money
too-sent 1t to mother for ticket
to bring her to see mel was that
homesick for mother, and ] never
saw her again after that. I've al
ways been glad stole that time"
Here, Mrs. Hicks sighed and SINK
lower in gloom.
IAN now! how is he? a regular
old skinflint. Everybody knows
him. Some tryin' to be nice call
him near but the most Of EN-
guess just says plain tight wad' er
cheap John, an they're right, too.
Oh! I'd sooner be dyin In my calico
and be buried In the same than own
that medder and cuss my family.
/ know he thinks more Of yaller
cent th9n all the love could give
him.
"Did he ever give me present In
ris life? Only once an then be
thought | was a goln to die an he
went down town do important like,
Ill dressed up in his best, an what
lid he bring me? Two sour oranges
yes an he eat one Of them. That's

"Why, when he wuz young, he

took to him, but he chose me, he says
now, because l waz such good
cook. l wisht hadn't known

Just at this point shrill whistle
sounded and Dickey came around
the corner,
