flee wicket, I spied the head of the
concern at the far side of the room.
and across the intervening space
projected the usual query:
Mr.. Hardy. I'd like TO interview
your first dollar"
Got any cigars with YOU" he call
der frown.
1 shook my head. Cigars come my
way only on paydays.
"Oh we'll" he continued magnani-
mously, Il guess we will let YOU in"
He led me into his coy private Of
fee, pushed out couple of chairs and
proceeded 10 tell me about his first
dollar.
L tried to earn little money
down on the farm raising popcorn"
he began, but just about the time the
stalks were nice and green and juicy
a neighbours bull used to come over
and eat it all up. l had that bad
luck for about five consecutive
years"
That was hard lines. There is no
discouraging a bull. If it had been
a sheep or a horse. or a hen. he
could have gone up and said boo"
and the invader probably would have
run away, but he couldn't say BOO"
to a bull with any kind of success.
Bulls are undisciplined critters and
best seen on the other side Of
strong barbed wire fence Besides a
bull never runs in any direction eX-
cept towards you, and usually he is
going at a pretty good clip, too.
Watched Corn Grow.
| suppose that bull. coming so reg
ular every year, developed a particu-
par appetite for young Hardy's pop
corn. He probably kept his eye on
that popcorn ali the time it was
growing, and never said much about
ii, but did a heap of thinking. And
then when the stalks were just at the
age to appeal strongest to his palate
he would leave his work and saunter
over to the popcorn patch. shifting
the air and mumbling to himself TO
throw anybody watching him off their
guard Then when he got right onto
the patch no doubt he would eNclaim,
Why popcorn, sure's I'm alivei
Bless me if that amt just the relish
/ need to round out my dinner''-just
as though il was all a grand surprise.
Then he would proceed to devOur the
stalks and raise hob generally. After
he went back TO his work the patch
would look like an East Indian ST.
moon had been looking for a home
