HOW IWPEflED
YOU Bee, It was Ibis way. There
was a damsel who was noth
ing If not original, and after
she'd taken a couple of thinks
she got up a' fireworks party for the
night of ihe Fourth. Her old man had
6 house with a dandy big lawn. Every
fellow was supposed to bring a girl
ami a bundle of fireworks.
Of ccurte I'm lor unythlng original,
so I attended In fl body. I gathered In
a little fairy that
I'd been tagging
around for some
time and a bun
dle of coudened
noise, and ' we
two stepped over
' to the party.
We were pretty
nearly there when
.we met up with
the brother of the
girl who gave the
party. He was
t r y I n g to get
home, but he was
taking such a
long route, going
from one side of
the walk to the
he was uKisd as other, that 1 was
i.on-0 route, afraid he would
not show up before midnight He had
a package of Bqulbs under his arm and
several other , packages tucked away
out of sluht. He'd been celebrating

GOAL
atd wasjijied proper.
I. led him off to one corner, and told
him to go In at the back door and go
to bed, but be took a dear old college
chum clinch around my neck and be
gan telling me in a megaphone tone
how . he had always loved me and
couldn't think of ; parting from ine.
Well, you know the kind. He rebuked
me " with great dignity about being
ashamed of an old friend. At last 1
got sore and told him to go fall off. ;
We pulled our freight out of there
and left him zigzagging, but he loomed
up at the party a little while later and
acted scandalously. ' ,
About this time we had all begun to
get buw.v with the punk, and then the
trouble came my way. We had a
bunch of these uice. Innocent drainage
canal dynamite capsules these half
footers, yon know. Well, I sprinkled
a few of them through the atmosphere
until at last I tapped one that had a
plwny fuse.
The blamed thing fizzled away and
got tired and petered out. Did I chase
over to Investigate the trouble? Not I.
I knew what would happen if 1 ap
proached that cracker to breathe gen
tly on the. fuse. Maybe I hadn't read
about those good boys who had tried
the stunt and then didn't have enough
fingers left to handle their harps prop
erly. ; Oh. little wise boy!"
Maybe 1 was afraid or maybe I was
, wise, but 1 wasn't taking chances,
About this time the lad with the
flossy footwork 'began to clamor about
sr.y,l.e!n,' a t old footed party. ' He was
good and noisy about it too. He al
lowed that If 1 was '"shamed "of old
friend" he'd make me ashamed by do
ing what 1 didn't dare.
MlljUV lie MttiU llilS 111 u WUJopely-l
don't guess. You'd have thought he
was making an oration. I warned hip
to keep away, but he ambled merrily
out into the street and picked up the
uncracked cracker.
Now. if 1 had done that my friends
would have been doing a slow sestet
alongside me in a few days, but there's
a kind providence on the staff of these
tanks. After bo. had inspected it he
lighted a new' fuse he bad fixed up
and ducked. before It went off. : And
me standing there, with those girls giv
ing me the pitying glance! They all
do: never take the facts into consid
eration. That's human nature for you!
Well. Pipesy felt so fine that he ber
gun to ' celebrate good and swift. He
just touched off everything at once,
thinking he was real cute, and things
began zinging In
all directions.
'.', The . girls and
most of the fel
lows were taking
to the trees, pur
sued by rockets,
r o m a n candles
and plnwheels. I
thought, "Here's
where I do a
grand stand play
and make good,"
and so I jumped
in to stamp out
the lighted fuses.
- Well, sir,, this
boy was that far
off his dipper
that he opened
fire on me with a
r o m a n candle
and scored ail
EVERYTHING WEST
BED.
over the target.
I caught one on the
shirt front, one hit my hat, and that's
all 1 kept tab on, 'cause just then one
candle ball lighted the fuse of a can
non cracker that was in my pocket.
Everything went red, and then some
body turned on the dark.
When I woke up I was tucked away
in bed, wrapped in bandages and ar
nica until I could have got a job at the
museum as a genuine Aztec mummy.
The doctor said I'd be out in a week
or so.-rBud Barclay In Chicago News.
LOST, A WATCH On June 6th,. my
daughter lost her watch, supposed
ly at or near the depot, and the same
was advertised to be left at the La
Grande Investment Co. A lady called
up regarding it, but party answering
did not understand the matter and
so Informed her. If party who has
the watch will return same I will
prove property and pay reward. P.
