STUCK UP &
SPLIuTERD!
That's WOt Happend to Hank Dew
berry lest Becuz He Diddent
Tend to His Own BiznesS Like
He 0rt to of Did---ThTiIIin Par
tickIers Below!

| Hank Dewberry got hisself into aw-
out into the woods to pick some fir bal
| sam to help fill bed tick with, and a
little while after Hank got into the
woods he happened to notice a hedge
hog worlin in pine tree about 80 feet
| from the ground.
If Hank had of went along about his
business and let the hedgehog alone, all
| would of been well, but that's not like
Hank. The hedgehog never done moth
ink to him, but Hank was in for KILN
| it before he done another thing. He
didn't have no gun nor nothink with
him, so he up and throwed stones at the
hedgehog, without hitting it any, until
his arm got so sore that he couldn't
scarcely move it.
Then Hank got mad and he says to
hisself. '1'1l fix you, durn your skin p
So he TUX off his shoes and begin to
shin up the tree. Hank CHM and CHM,
and SO did the hedgehog, until it got
most up to the topmost limb and could
go no farther, and Hank he out with his
pen knife and cut off a stout limb and
made a club and elm up and hauled off
and hit the hedgehog rap and knocked
it outen the tree.
Then Hank he slid back down the
tree as fast as he could slide, and when
he got to the bottom he found the
hedgehog wall<in around in ring kind
of dizzy and foolish like, and Hank
drawed back with one foot and kicked
the hedgehog a turrible hard belt right
in the ribs before he happened to think
that he hadn't notllink on his feet but
his socks.
The agony which fo1lered to Hank
can better be described than imagined.
He got one foot jest plum full of spines
from the hedgehog, which made him
lay down on the ground and roll and
boiler for help. But there was no help
nearer than Bingville, which was three
mile away, and of course nobody heerd
him, so after Hank had hollered hisself
hoarse and outen breath, he CANNED
down and begin to pull the spines outen
his foot. Every time he would pull one
out Hank said it was jest like pullin
tooth, only except worse.
After Hank got most of the spines
outen his foot, he looked round for the
hedgehog, but it was gone and Hank
was glad of it. He calkilates it excaped
while he was busy with his foot.
To make matters worse, when Hank
took notice of hisself he was turrible
Disguised to find that his clothes was ali
stuck up with a turrible mess of pine
pitch which had been oozin outen the
tree which he had elm up, being as it
was a turrible hot day and the pitch was
sticky.
Hank put on one shoe, but he couldn't
wear tother one on his sore foot, SO he
walked back to Bingvi1le wearing one
shoe on his we'll foot and the other in
his hand Soon as he got home he
changed clothes and throwed the stuck
up ones away, being as he says he can't
never get the pitch outen them as long
as he lives Also he couldn't get the
pitch often his hands. and he says he
