When Dad was a Tad

BY Emily Atkinson, New Paris, o.
When dad was little boy
He used to smoke and chew;
Now he has little son.
Who thinks twill never do.
~. -
When dad was little tad,
Az near as can tell.
He said he went to school,
And then was taught to spell.
I've heard him say many times
He had a mile or SO 10 walk;
Often was taken by surprise.
For he was too bashful to talk.
One morning he thought he'd have
some fun,
And there he'd play a trick.
To school he took a pop-gun-
In reward received hickory
stick.
That almost ended Dads fun,
I've heard him say quite often.
At home he left the popgun;
Instead he went a-fishin'
Now he's little older;
He sees his son Is full Of tricks,
He carries burden on his shout
ders
For fear he'll get the hickory
stick.
The little son went to school one
day;
There he was surprised
To find new teacher standing
near,
With glasses on her eyes.
Now. says he. I'll like here fine
I'll do just as please;
With looking glasses and chain
to them.
know that she can't see
That little hoy Ia six years old:
He has the three RS very WE'LL
He never got a lickin'. either,
That could ever tell.

too. Before dinner we played
"Andie Over" And after dinner l
asked mother if we could go down
to the river. She said NO." so |
went and told the others we could
MT go.
But uncle said we could 60. He
showed us where it wasn't deep.
We went and when we got there
we took our shoes and stockings
off and went in wading. We had
a high time wading.
Pretty soon aunt came and made
us all get out of the water. We
got out and aunt had long stick.
She gave us all bit on the back.
We went up to the house and was
laughing.
Mother said, Did you whip
them"
Aunt said, yes"
Mother said, ut don't look much
like it the way they are laughing"
Then we went and played "Andie
Over" again, and then we went
home.

Good Advice
Where Tom Found HisManncrs

Toms father was rich man.
and Tom lived in a large house in
the country. He had a pony and
many other pets, and wore fine
clothes. Tom was very pround of
all the fine things his fathers
money bought. He began to think
that being rich was better than be-
ing good. He grew very rude and
was cross to the servants. Once
he kicked his dog, but the dog
growled and Tom was afraid to
kick him again.
One day when Tom was playing
in the yard. he saw boy standing
by the gate. He was ragged and
dirty, his hat was torn. and his
feet were bare. But he had a
pleasant face. In one hand he car
ried a pail half full of biackberries

and we don't want ragged boys
around here"

the boy. eff you are rich, you can
spare me a dipper full of water"
eve can't spare you anything"
said Tom. eff you don't go away
1 will set the dogs on you"
The boy laughed and walked
away swinging his pail.
81 think will get some black
berries, too" said Tom to himself.
He went out of the gate into a lane
leading to meadow where there
were plenty of berries. Tom saw
some fine large ones growing just
over ditch. He thought he could
leap over it very easily. He gave
run and very big jump. The
ditch was wider than he had
thought, and instead of going over
it, he came down in 1t. The mud
was very soft and thick, and Tom
sank down in it to his waist. He
was very much frightened and
screamed for help. But he had
not much hope that help would
come. for it was long way until
houses could be found. He scream
ed until he was tired. He began
to think that he would have to
spend the night i'm the ditch. when
he heard steps on the grass. Look

had driven away from the gate.
