A THOUGHT OF YESTERDAY.
My father smokes most all the
time; oh, he's an expert smoker. My
mother thinks it's wrong, because she
says the odors choke her. But as a
kid I'd love to see my dad get his
d old pipe agoin', because I'd like to
watch the rings that father started
ablowin'. He'd make some funny
little ones that gently came afloatin'.
but on the bigger fatter ones my eyes
jest kept agloatin'. He'd put a circle
on my nose. Gee whiz, but it felt
funny. There can't nobody beat my
dad. on that, I'll bet real money. One
day he put one round my neck, ex-
actly like a collar. 1 sat right still
until it broke and then let out a
holler. For lots of things, mother
called him down. oh, she would give
him thunder. She was right some
times, but when it comes to smokin' he
was a wonder. N. S. A.
