OUR WEEKLY FABLE IN SLANG
By BARTON RICHARDS

His mother admitted that he was
full of spirits, his doting aunt would
confess, under pressure, that he was
a precocious youngster. while the next
door neighbor insisted that he was an
inpudent little cuss who had had too
much of his own way. This isn't much
of a starter but we have to have some
excuse for opening the first paragraph
any anyhow, it gives you a little in
sight into the start of Willie Smith,
who is the hero of this little fable, en-
titled the Career of an A. w. 0. L.
Jumping about fifteen birthdays
from the opening of this narrative we
find the hero a youth of about 10 sum
mers, and he was the original Bull
headed Kid. Once he made up his
mind, he was the second edition of old
Gibraltar. Again quoting his Doting
Aunt, who you will admit was some
little Doter, he was a strong minded
youth and a descendant of the Puritan
Martyrs. DISTINGUISHED friends said
that the young sprig would get some Of
the old Puritan treatment in goth CEN
fury form if he didn't change his ways.
The peculiar feature of the Bullhead-
ed Youths strong indebtedness was
that every one was wrong but him.
The well-known Rolling Stone had
nothing on him when it came to roll
ing from one job to another for of a
truth the only job he ever held more
than a week was the one of planting
his Tribes under the Paternal dining
room atble, thrice every "a hours. At
this job we must pass him to the Lau-
rel he was there 40 days from the
Ace But when it came to Garnering
in the Shecl1els by the sweat of his
brow, he usually was missing on about
three cylinders. His strong minded
ness usually cropped out about the
second week he landed job, and when
it came to a discussion between the
Big Stick and the Bullheaded Youth,
usually the B. Y. said good afternoon
to the Cashier.
But as Bernard Shaw would say, we
are DEPRESSING, Somebody talked our
young hero into hiring out with Uncle
Sam and as this was one position he
had never given the once over he al
lowed the recruiting sergeant to sign
him up. Now if our young friend had
had the sense of a youth his age, he
would have taken the advice of the r.
S., when he said, Young men always
obey your superiors." Did our hero do
this? He did, just like the Pirates
won the pennant last year.
If Horatio Alger were writing this
little thing, he would continue by say

ing that all went well with our young
friend, and it did, for about the usual
span Of two weeks, and then his Pur-
itanic traits began to do the Spring
flower stunt of pushing to the front.
Unfortunately the Top Kicker of his
company never heard of the Puritans,
as he had never been out of sight of
West Philadelphia and who ever heard
of Puritan in West Philadelphia? So
when the B. Y. P. IT'S began to assert
themselves the T. K mistook them for
the traits of a Raspberry or in the
Parlance ST the Elite, the Shirker
Willie, Eyes he still was called Willie)
insisted on arguing the case with the
Sarg. every time a detail was wanted,
and, of course, he had Fat Chance
Of beating the Sarg. to it.
Now the Sarg was patient man,
how could he wear three stripes on his
sleeve, if he wasn't, we ask, and ne let
Willie pull the argue stuff for a long
time, oh ALL of two weeks, and then
Willie became on speaking terms with
the Mop and Mess Floor Now right
here is where everything got all gum
med up, or in the words of Arnold
Bennett, the thick plottened Ac-
cording to Hoyle, Willie should have
renigged on the army game right there
and bid them a sweet adieu, but when
he threatened that the C.. o. was so
scared of losing him that he invited
him TO remain in quarters for two
moons. Horrors!
Willie Immediately began to increase
the burden of the Postmaster General
by buying up the available stamp sup
ply to notify the folks at home. how he
ives being picked on and of course his
Mother was for dlscharglng the whole
army and getting another one. Now,
if little Willie had had a think tank
less than a foot thick he would have
come to life and cut out the Bullhead-
ed stuff, but his Puritanic qualities
were working overtime and he was a
Conscientious Objector to the way the
things were being run.
Time went on, as time has a fashion
of doing. and Willie had been in the
army two whole months, that is he
had been in the army two months, ac-
cording to his enlistment papers, but
he had been in the jug five weeks. AS
his last hitch in the cooler had been
for IA days he got out at the end of
two weeks and after counting back on
the calendar he found he had not said
Good Morning to the Cop on the beat
on their corner for nearly 20 days.
Right away he puts in for furlOugh,
expecting of course that the C. O..
would burn the bearings in his trusty

not constitute favorable spheres for
railway enterprises. Those who feel
inclined to waste valuable efforts in
these regions would do well to pom
der over an incident related to the
Boston Record
'The late Sylvanus Miller civil en-
gineer, who was engaged on a railroad
in Central America, and while seeking
local support for one such road, he at
tempted to give the matter point He
asked a native;
How long does it take you to carry
your goods to market by mule back?
Three days, senior. was the reply.
There's the point, said Miller.
