While we are on this subject
daughter. let me say that hankering
is a very dangerous occupation and
should be INDUCED in only a. very
infrequent intervals. Let US cite an
example OF the dangers OF such a
practice. One time papa was feel
! ing lonesome, being on the wagon
at the time. and fell 10 hanlering

wagon at the same time. Papa got
the excitement and a dollar and

daughter. and I will close for this
time. Your mother informs me
that when she took you into Tom

have your hair cut, that you cried
as if your heart would break. An
other performance like this and
papa will have to whip. / don't
know whether your crying was In
sympathy for Ed. Hagey over the
election. or whether you objected to
having a nice lady cut your hair.
but let me say this, that your crying
was very badly timed. Some time
YOU NAV have to have your hair
cut bv Gus or Mitch and have TO
listen 10 the story about the two
wells. then you'll have something to
cry for. Furthermore, when Tom
Brandon sends me that bill, 1 sup
