Bud as A Artist

Bud Hinckley, who amt quite right
in his head, done awful thing at his
home last week. Bud found a pot of
red paint and brush in the cellar and
he went and caught "Tabby" which is
Hinckleys' old tiger cat, which has been
a member of the fambily for several
years, and Bud got the cat down and
held her and went and painted her ali
red with that paint and then let her
loose, and she went upstairs in Mrs.
Hinckey's spare bed room and got up
ON the bed and went to sleep on the
Counterpart and daubed red paint all
over it and the pliers and the carpet
and most everything m the room.
When Mrs. Hinckley found out that
it was Bud who had went and one the
painting she trimmed him in SIGH a
Mariner tha Buds hollering could be
card from ou.a end of Bingville to
Their, and Is of the opinion :
Bud will never do a thing like
again.
Praps not, but he'll do somethink
worse like as not.

EDDYTORIUL

This week we will write a breef
eddytoriul on reciprossitty. We
have wrote eddytoriuls on the tar
if and the open door policy and all
SIGH like, but we don't reckolleckt
of ever wroting a eddytoriul on
reciprossitty witch we now do, hop
ing as it will enlighten you all on
this turrible grave questshion so as
you will be glad we have went and
did it.
1t will be necessary for us to ex-
plane whot reciprossitty is for the
benefit of our more ignorunter
readers who wouldn't know a reci-
prossitty from a hay rake. The
meening of a reciprossitty is to re-
turn as good as is give. For In
stants, if you was to go and git into
a fife with surnbuddy and they
would haul off and hit you a belt
alongside the ear and you would
split on your hands and grit your
teeth and draw back and hit EN- a
crack right on the nose as hard as
you could drive, that's recipros-
sitty.
Let US illustrate another instants
if Deacon Butterworth, one of
our most respected citizens and
boss swappers, was to trade you
off a ole wind-brofe spawned, ring
boned crobate in exchange for a
boss WITCH was worth twict as much
and you was to turn around and
skin him alive on swoppin watches,
that would be reciprossitty.
They is good cal more recipros-
sitty in this world than they ort to
be, but whot are you a-going to
do about it? The scripter tells us
that we ort not to indulge in recip-
rossitty. 1t pays that whenever
sumbuddy srnites US on the right
cheek to go and turn the left cheek
to be smited also likewise, but this
looks to us like a turrible poor
argument. The theory may be all
right, but it won't hold out in prac-
tice. Rev. Sam1 Moore, our be-
luved pastor, tride this once or
Bill Hepburn in the P. o. Bill, he
had went and got full and slapt
Rev. Moore on the cheek and Rev
Moore he turned tother cheek tc
Bill and kindly asst him to smits
that likewise, and Bill did, and ther
