LOST

While driving home from the CO
seat last Satterday sometime during
the night 1 went and lost a brand new
buggy whip in some manner unlenowd
to me. or else it dropped outcn my hand
when l wasscnt lookin. I don't know
jest whereabouts on the road home
lost said whip-if / knowd that
would go and get it. The road all
looked alike to me as l druv home
last Satterday and to tell the truth
don't know where I lost it. Some fend
in human form might of stole it outen
the buggy at the CO seat but If so l
didn't motifs it after I started to drive
home In fackt 1 diddent discuvver
that my buggywhip was lost until last
Monday morning. l was sick in bed
all day Sunday with a splittin headake
and diddent git chanst to discuvver
ennythink until Monday Whoever re-
turns said buggywhip to me will be
literally thanked and no questshions

you! To think that 7 should live tc
utter such words! What you can possibly
see in such silly game as domnoes
can't for the life of me understand, when
there's that nice, elevating and respect
able game of cribbage, which you could
play with your wife at home while the
children scampered about as happy as
big sunflowers! That doesn't appeal to
you, however, Mr.. Caudle; nothing as re-
spectacle as cribbage at home with your
wife would interest you.
why you can't even sleep at night
now, Mr.. Caudle, except restlessly and
uncomfortably since you've taken to
domnoe~; you talk strange talk in your
sleep; you humble queer things that |
can't understand. The otner night L
heard you incoherently saying, 'Umph
now-whats the trump 'Oh, get out;
it's my down: and then, Mr.. Caudle
think of what you said; I nearly died;
What do you mean by leaving me with
Big Liz? Oh, Mr.. Caudle, Mr.. Caudle;
women will be the death Of you yet Who
pray is this Big Liz creature? Some
disreputable female no doubt you've been
introduced to BY some of your domino
friends is she young or old, Mr.. Caudle?
Is she pretty? Is she married or single?
To think of my husband being enamored
of a person with name like Big Liz
Mercy guide usl And you a Christian
gentleman, Mr.. Caudle; or at least you
used to be; you used to go to church
and once you were the honored superin-
terdent of the Sunday school-but now
now-oh Mr.. Caudle [ never thought
that a person of your age and family
would be led into such habits and all
because of those horrible dominotes!"
Mr.. Caudle, it's all over now; you've
gone to destruction. 1 never knew d
man TO take to dominoes who wasn't
lost-forever. Look at my uncle John,
he took to dominoes and he and dear
Aunt Jane separated within the year!
Lucky fellow, did you say? How dare
you. sir? But then what could be ex-
pected of man like you, Mr.. Caudle?
And to think of the wife I've been to
you, sir!'
There's no use telling me, Mr.. eau
die, that you've only played few
times; you play every afternoon, sir;
1 know. Soon it will get so you'll never
be at home, day or night. You'll be
a marked man, Mr.. Caudle. / can tell
a domino player by his looks; they all
look as sallow as parchment and many
of them wear-whiskers. I suppose
you'll let yours grow now, Mr.. Caudle;
you'll have to, as you'll have no time
to shave, and, like Dickens Mr.. Toots,
who, when he began to grow whiskers
left off having brains'-youll be the
laughing stock of the town! You'll have
that awful look soon-like an old
sleuth, artful lodging, first cousin to
pick-pocket. In six months | dare
say the dear children won't recognize
their father!

go hungry and thirsty! Don't tell me
not to be eloquent Mr.. Caudle 1 shall
be as eloquent as 1 like; but then of
course 1 can never open my lips about
anything that I'm not insulted. No, 1
won't be quiet; on any other subject
you know l wouldn't say a word if
you didn't like it, dear; but on this
matter I will speak my mind. L know
perfectly well that yon can't play
dominoes like those other men you
play with; you never did have a mind
for games. Mr.. Caudle; never; you
could even learn to play euchre; as
for auction you are helpless! Mr.. eau

they have horse sense. and you haven't
an atom of it, sir so, how could you
hope to play-dominoes The principle

lose money? Certainly / am; do | want
to see my husband ruined financially?
No; and nicely you'll be eaten up by
those sharks you play with. You'll
never play again? Don't tell me that
once you get in the grip of the domino
game you are done for; you'll be swal-
lowed up like an oyster"
"But-it's all over, Mr.. Caudle; / shall
never even think of being happy

horrid old club every afternoon of

losing your money. Don't tell me not
