Looking for Amusement

TT is certainly interesting u "atCh
burch Of people dig hole, but morey
would be saved II holes could be moved
around know hole in town where
building was burned that Is a perfectly
good hole and I am sure It could be
bought cheap But. of course. II would
he more trouble than 1t is worth to move
i out TO the place for the swimming
pool There wero hardly any stones
around our school till the men started
digging and dug lot of them out of the
ground. Now the boys have plenty of
stones to throw and there Is fight
nearly every day over the stones. Two
boys had fight before school began
this morning and one got licked as well
as I could have done it.
After school was out Rowdy and II
STAYED around and watched the men
digging. While wo were there the boss
made only enc speech to n man who had
done something the boss didn't like. The
boss said to him, You dilapidated son
of a docayng race. you haven't enough
sense to last n simple-minded baboon
over night. If l could get concrete
miXture as solid as your bean my for
tune would be made Swing on to that
shovel and do something or before you
know 1t you will be owing the firm
money instead of having money coming
to you" The remnant ust smiled and
got busy | would have liked to hear
more, but the boss did not make any
more speeches.
Rowdy and / got tlred waiting and so
we went to Bells and asked her when
Lunny was going to send for the iron
dogs he traded for Thomas Aristdes
Brown. She said he was not going "a
send for them and that they were mine
! to keep. / think that is fine. i offered
! to bring Thomas back to her and Lunny
but she said she did not want him as
she thought he was happier at home
with his father and mother. Maybe he
| is j am glad to keep the iron dogs any
way. l am going to get some feas of
| Rowdy and put them on the iron dogs
and see what they will do.
From Bells Rowdy and l went TO Q
big hotel and the man with brass but
tons who always gets so mad at us wa.
not there to run us out, so it was no
very much fun. We sat on the leather
chairs while and then another MAJ
with brass buttons on him came up to us
I was getting ready to make Rowdl
growl down In his neck and scare tn,
man when the man said, How do yol
do. little girl?" I said, whats 1t t.
you?" He said. "Is there some one yo,
would like to see?" ! said, 81 guess So
He said, who" I said How do
know? If you will show me all the peo
pie you have I will take my choice
He said. II can't do that even TO amus'
you. OF course, l am sorry. Good-by
II you must go" I said, "Do you meaI
that you want NE to chase myself" HI
said, II would not use language like tina
to lady like you. but you seem to ge
my idea" Then we both laughed ant
Rowdy and I went away
On our way home we stopped before
pitcher show and lady who was com
ing out said to Inc, Il hope you are mo-
going in to see that pitcher" ] said
"For cats sake, why?" She said. IL
is not fit for little girls to see" Sc
Rowdy and I went In and the lady wa!
right. so we came out, for there wa.
not a cowboy in the whole pitcher.
