accorded by S72 10 ga. II something of

None the less he turned sharply

My neighbor keeps me- IN s

Soul. who would not hurt a flea;
he's done me no unciyl trick.
and yet the record makes me-
sick-hes nearly ruined me.
He's always buying gorgeous
suits and noble hats and costly
boots, ne dresses like d kins,
and shall I let my neighbor
shine IN splendor eostlier than
mine? can't stand that. ny
jing! My neighbor buys a new
sedan that makes mine seem An
also-ran, a rusty thing and
frayed: and shall my neighbor
ride in state, while I push round
an old tin crate, The first that
Henry made? My neighbours
wife Is just as bad; she paws
around our lscle grad, 3 new
hat on her head; my wife then
murmurs through her tears,
I've had my punk old lid for
years. would that I were
dead" I know just how the
woman feels, and so I dig up
sundry wheels, a helmet she
must buy; we cannot see our
neighbors prance in pomp and
state and circumstance, and not
make money fly. My neighbor
has an ample wad and can afford
10 walk abroad with diamonds on
his buds. and I have just the
wage l draw. about enough 10
buy the slaw, the soupbones and
the spuds. But I'm s dead game
sport, I wot; like other sports
men must trot with those who
make things whiz; and so my
neighbor keeps me broke; I try
10 leave a trail OF smoke as
sumptuOus as his.

he was connected, Judge Patton sent
hint to the grand jury. Charles

to $3.50 bond for the negro. "Pi"
was to have been here ut this term
of court to answer the charge, but
he didn't show up, and "Pansy" is
now cunning for him. Pansy heard
he was in Blueficld Tuesday and
went to that city with the avowed
purpose of bringing that negro here
dead or alive" "Pie" had slipped the
halter and chad gone for there >
Now "Fansy" may have to pay.
