When victim was caught In the
flyIng scrimmage at the end OF q pas
"a 90 In the game Of Prisoners, he or
she was brought before the blind
folded judge:
Heavy, heavy hangs over your
head" said the constable.
"Fine or Superfine?" the judge in
quired.
Fine" said the constable, which
meant that the victim was boy.
Then the sentence was pronounced
and generally it was this:
$50 bow to the wittiest, kIieel to
the prettiest and kiss the one that you
love best"
Harry was the first prisoner. He
went straight to BIN Kelso and bowed
and knelt, and when he had risen she
turned and ran like scared deer
around the chairs and the crowd of
onlookers some assisting and some
checllinA her flight, before the nimble
youth. Hard pressed, she ran out of
the open door, with merry laugh,
and just beyond the steps Harry
caught and kissed her. and her cheeks
had the color Of roses when he led
her back.
John Mcneil kissed Ann Rutledge
that evening and was most attentive
to her, and the women were saying
that the two had fallen in love with
each other.
"See how she looks at him." one of
them whispered.
swell, it's just the way he looks at
her." the other answered.
At the first pause III the merriment
Kelso stood on chair, and then 81
lence fell upon the little company.
MY good neighbors," he began, 1--WE
are here to rejoice that new friends
have come to us and that a new home
is born in our midst. We bid them
welcome. They are big-boned, big
hearted folks. No man has grown
large who has not at one time or an
other had his feet in the soil and felt
Its magic power going up into his
blood and bone and sinew. Here is a
wonderful soil and the inspiration of
wide horizons; here are broad and fer
tile fields. Where the corn grows
high you can grow statesmen. 1t may
be that out of one of these little cab
ms n man will come to carry the torch
of Liberty and Justicesso high that
its light will shine into every dark
place. So let no one despise the cabin
humble us it is. Samson and Sarah
TraylOr, ! welcome and congratulate
you. Whatever may come. you can
find no better friends than these and
of this you may be sure, no child of
the prairies will ever go about with Il
hand organ and monkey. Our friend,
Honest Abe, is one of the few rich
men in this neighborhood. Among his
assets are 'Kirkham's Grammar .rhe
Pilgrims Progress the Lives of
Washington and Henry Clay Ham
let's Soliloquy.' 'Othello's Speech TO
the Senate Marc Anthony's Address
and a part of 'Webster's Reply TO
Hayne.' man came along the other
day and sold him barrel of rubbish
for two bits. In 1t he found volume
of 'Blackstone's Commentaries old
Blackstone challenged him to wrestle
and Abe has grappled with him. j
reckon he'll take his measure as easily
as he took Jack Armstrong;. Lately
he has got possession of II noble asset.
1t is The Cotters Saturday Night by
Robert Burns. I propose to ask him
to let us share his enjoyment of this
treasure
