DADS BOY

We'll, " said dad as he tucked his napkin
under his chin, 1--WE just figured up for this
year, Mary, and what do you suppose it has cost
US to live? Ma flared right up and answered
so quick that, as the preacher says at the prayer
meetn, there wasn't no time to waste I'm sure
don't know what it's cost us, " says ma but
goodness know no woman could be more savin'
than am. You're always THROWN it up in my
face, says she, about the cost of livin', but if
anybody could be any more scrimpin' and careful
than am I'd like to see 'em. There's one thing
sure says ma Il don't spend any money for
cigars or lodges or banquets, !" and when she said
this she shot look at dad that was so hot it
burned hole in his bib Dad kindda grnned
put another spoonful of Goldfish gravy on his bak-
ed potato, opened his mouth to say something
and then closed it right up ag'n cause ma
wasn't through and when she amt through, it's
mighty poor time for dad to begin cause he
won't get far enough to pay him for starting.
There's one thing" says ma that I've al
ways wanted you to do which you won't do, and
that is to keep an account of your personal eX-
penses and submit 'em to me the first of every
month. You must be spendin' money for things
you don't want me to know about, Henry, or else
you'd do it, and as ma said this she commenced
to wipe the corners of her eyes with her hand
kerchief, which is sure sign that what's been said
amt really patchn to what's comm Dad tried
to head her off by askin' if she would have an
other potato or some more Goldfish or somethin',
but twasn't no use and dad seemed to sense it,
cause he grabbed his napkin and started to get
up, but she stopped him by sayin "You set
right where you are, Henry, til get through
talkin', you've got great habit lately of pre-
tendin' you've suddenly thought of something
you've got to do before finished what I'm sayin.'
Now" says ma, what want to know is, where
does all the money you make go?" WELL says
dad, what was about to say, Mary, when you
started in on your Chautauqua course was this;
it's cost us. due to your careful management,
quite little less to live this year than it did last,
so when figured up | was so tickled over it and
also so mighty proud of you, that | decided to
give you a nice cash present" Sayin' this dad
commenced to dig down in his jeans, for his wal
let, but ma tagged him by sayn Never mind
about that Just now, whatever you We got in your
pocket book, Henry, is half mine anyway; what
want to know is, what do you spend your half
for" Dad looked at ma minute and then start
ed to say something. but all he got out was
''shucks" and then he quit. The upshot of it
was, that dad finally went down to Gilbert's and
bought ma new buggy, which she'd been har-
pin about for sometime. Next year | reckon
ma will keep at him till he spends his half for a

at the West Barrett school building
last Friday afternoon was.that of CON
solidation of the county schools for

Sherrieb, Mrs. F. G. Hutchinson, Prof.
c. ID. Thompson and Mrs. L. II. Dia-
mond. While the speakers were at
variance on some points, such as the
construction of buildings, all were in
favor of consolidation and the majority
thought it best to send the children to
the Hood River high school. Prof.
Mclaughlin stated that with the pro-
posed addition to the city building as
many as 100 more children could be ac-
comodated. A difference of opinion
was expressed as to the transportation

at some special point and bring them
to school in a common conveyance.
