says:

/ like the weather in the fall,
for days I haven't sweat at all,
Pm glad the summer days are
past and I am cool again at last.
/ s'pose that soon we'll git a frost,
but then, our corn crop won't be
lost, for what dry weather left to
us is ripe, it might of been lots
wuss. My neighbor says the gov
eminent has got some cash that
might be sent to help us busted
farmers out so we'll recover from
the drought. While some folks
think that Uncle Sam is allus
tighter than clam, my neighbor
says he won't do less than help
us farmers in distress.
tell my neighbor that, alack,
who borrows money must pay
back, its nice to git a little dough
but next year, if the price is
low we'll have to sell off all we've
got to pay the debt, as like as
not. Some folks will borrow all
they can from the bankers or from
any man, they take the credit they
can get and use it, ev'ry cent, you
bet. But what makes all such fell
lers blue is that the notes some
day come due, it's nice of Uncle
Sam to aid, but them advances
must be paid. So I guess I'll git
by some way and not have any
debts to pay, we amt so badly
out of luck. Sary James canned
some garden truck, we've got some
pork put down in brine, so we'll
git through the winter fine and
have the satisfaction, too, of
knowing notes amt comm due!
We are always impatient with
the school boy who makes
good grades in the subject he
likes best, but flunks in those
he doesn't like. But we are all
like that. We keep up part of
our business which we best
enjoy pretty well-but who of
us do not fall down on the
less attractive duties part
of the time?

pairs, and then rendered him
three silver dollars in payment for
same. The clerk informed him
very politely that the charge was

The customer called for the
