have been brought up with freshly sharpened turn
because of my article the boy who saved the dixie in
Holland
Why should any boy arbitrarily poke finger in a
hole in dixie? The most natural thing for boy to do
is to try it for size He would start with his pnke
finger and work up to his thumb.
After he got his thumb in the hole what would he do
next? He would wggle the thumb.
He would make the hole larger. Then he would stop
back and admire his thumbwork. After a while
swell leak would get monotonous.
So then he would sharpen his trusty old thumbnail
and bore another hole in the dixie
He would mark one leak "cold" and the other "hot,"
Then he would figure how he could charge admission and
pick up few dimes
That would mean holes in the dixie which
tanly puncture proof And in few hours all the
would be where shouldn't be and the Dutch farm
would be trading for rowboats.
I'm not criticizing the boy. It the Dutch
right for building them that way.

or indirectly earn their livlngS

Il trudes itself that We are

Take, for instance. this entire

They were chaps who can look
the most picked of herrings in

thus were men after my own
heart. I dislike fellows who are
timid in the presence of herring,

We went as straight and true
as homing pigeons to Ratner's,
playing about 30-to-1 chance
that we could get in at the din

Naturally we opened UP with
the herring aforesaid. You are
just trying TO knock down the
favorite when you play against
the herring as an appetizer in a
place like Ratner's, though pick
led lox is not bad. II is worth
what we call a saving wager,
anyway.
