Il see 20 beau too, Aunt Minerva"
he remarked TRANQUILITY.
1t was Miss Minerva this time who
lost her composure, for her thin, SAL
low face became perfectly crimson.
MY beau?" she asked confusedly.
who put that nonsense into your
head?"
Jimmy show him to me-" he re-
piled jauntily, once more master Of
the situation and in full realization
OF the fact. why don't you marry
him. Aunt Minerva, SOS he could live
right here with US? An I could learn
him how to churn. l spec he'd make
beautiful churner. He sho' is a pref
ty little fat man." he continued fat
teringly. AN dress? That beau was
jest dressed plumb up to the top
notch. l sho' would marry him if rs
you an not turn up my nose at him
cause he wears pants an you can
learn him how to talk properer'n what
he do an betcher he'd jest nachelly
take to broom, an I spec he amt
got nobody t all to show him how to
sew. An yo' all could get the doctor
to fetch you a little baby SO he
wouldn't halter to play with no doll.
I sho' wisht We had him here" ended
q selfish Billy, ''he could save me
lot OF steps. An sho' would like to
hear bout all them Injuns an Yam
KEGS what he's killed"
Billy's aunt was visibly en-
barrassed.
The persistent admiration OF this,
her one lover, had been pleasing to
her, yet she had never been willing
to sacrifice her independence for the
cares and trials of matrimony. The
existing state of affairs between the
two was known to every one in the
small town, but such was Miss
Minerals dignified aloofness that Bill
ly was the first person who had ever
dared to breach the subject to her.
''Sit down here, William" she COM
manded, land l will read to you"
Tell me tale" he said, looking up
at her with his bright, sweet smile.
The doll lay neglected on chair near
by and Billy wanted her to forget it.
"Tell me bout Piljerk Peter"
"Piljerk Peter?" there was an inter-
rogation in her voice.
"Yas'm. Amt you never hear tell
bout Piljerk Peter? He had fifteen
chillens an one time the las one of
EN- an his ole oman was down with
the fever an he amt got but one
pill an they so sick they mos bout
to die an amt nobody in the fieT fer
to pick the cotton an he can't git no
doctor an he amt got but Jest that
one pill; SO he tie that pill to a string
an let the bigges' chile swaller 1t an
draw 1t back up an let the mex chile
swaller 1t an jerk it back up an let
the mex chile swaller It an jerk 1t
back up an let the mex"
II don't believe in telling tales to
children" interrupted his aunt, II will
tell you biographical and historical
stories and stories from the Bible.
Now listen, while read to you"
"An' the mex chile swaller It an he
jerk 1t back up" continued Billy Sc
renely, ''an' the mex chile swRller It

Miss Minerva opened a book called
Gems for the Household" which she
had purchased from a silver-tongued
book-agent. She selected an article
the subject Of which was The Pure
In Heart"
Billy listened with a seemingly at.
tentive ear to the choice flow OF
words, but in reality his little brain
was busy with its own thoughts. The
article closed with the suggestion that
IL one were innocent and pure he
would have dreamless sleep:
IF you have conscience clear,
And Gods commands you keep;
If your heart is good and pure,
You will have a perfect sleep"
Billy's aunt concluded. Wishing to
know If he had understood what she
had just read she askel:
What people sleep the soundest2"
''Niggers," was his prompt reply, as
he thought Of the long summer days
and the colored folk on the plantation.
She was disappointed, but not dis
couraged.
Now, William" she admonished,
I'm going to read you another piece,
and I want you to tell me about it,
when get through. Pay strict atten.
ton"
"Yas'm," he readily agreed.
She chose an article describing the
keen sense of smell in animals. Miss
Minerva was not an entertaining
reader and the words were lon.' and
fairly incomprehensible to the little
boy sitting patiently at her side.
Again his thoughts wandered, though
every now and then he caught a word
or two
What animals have the keenest
sense of smell, William" was her
query at the conclusion of her read
ing.
BILLY goats" was Billy's answer
without the slightest hesitation.
"You have goats on the BRAIN" she
said in anger. II did not read one
word about billy goats"
well, if faint a billy goat" he
replied, 81 do know what It's thout
it's a skunk"
Il bought you little primer this
morning" she remarked after a short
silence, "ard l want you to say a les
Son every day."
81 already knows a lot" he boosted.

Wilkes Booth Lincoln. 1 knows

curly tail @, an roun' o, an 1 can
spell cat cat, an dog deg an A

That night he concluded his ever
lengthy prayer at his kinswoman's
knee with:
20 Lord, please make for Aunt
Minerva little baby, make her two
of 'em. o Lord, If you got EN- to
spare please make her three little ba-
bies an let EN- all be girls SOS she
can learn 'em how to churn an sew.
An bless Aunt Minerva and Major
Minerva, FIR ever nd ever Amen"
AS he rose from his knees he
asked: Aunt Minerva, do God work
on Sunday"
MOO" answered his relative, hes
ttatingly.
well, II look like He'd lest halter
work on Sunday, He's so busy jest
a-makin' babies. He makes all the
niggers an heathens an Injuns an
white chillens; reckon He gifts some
body to help him. Don't you, Aunt
