same boy pretty curly lu life got a Job
driving a delivery wagon for a grocery.
Well, pretty soon after be got that Job
be was wearing n pair of those patent
elastic sleeve supporters, or holders, or
whutever you'd cull 'em-thing with
a clutch at either end that pulled the
cuff back from the wrist. This Isiy's
pair of those things were pink elastic,
and bow he used to (taunt 'em before
my eyes!
"lie knew blamed well that those
pink elastic sleeve supporters looked
finer to me than any Star of India or
Victoria Cross could imsxlbly look, and
he knew U'sldes that because I bud
to go to school and wasn't earning any
thing there wasn't a possible cliunre
on earth for im to get a pair like 'em
and so be Just held 'em over mo and
made my life miserable. Yet when I
. got to the wage cnrnlng age I never
seemed to euro at all for a pulr of pink
clastic sleeve supporters.
"Another boy thpt I hated had a
maroon colored cardigan Jaeket. Thnt
was beforo tho day of sweaters, This
hated boy wore the cardigan Jockcfl
beneuth his regular outer coat and so
he didn't have to wear any ovcrcont
mat, 1 considered, was a gorgeous
blessing not to have to wear an over-
cost to school. I despised this boy for
having It on me that way. Anyhow
his maroon colored cardigan Jacket had
a couple of pockets lu front that he
kept full of all kinds of Junk some
times be evfn curried mlco to school lu
'em. And ttint made my Indignation
nil the greater thu fact that ho had
those two fine covered up pockets to Ills
cardlgun Jacket.
"One great triumph did come to my
tike life, though, and that was the fuct
that I wan the first bo; of my school to
own a pair of copper toed boots. Well,
I sprung the first pair, as I say, at my
school, and I guess I didn't break the
hearts of nil the other boys or nothlu'!
Besides the copper toes, these boots
hud red tops, with a sliver star and
crescent stumped on the red tops, und
that made tho blow all the more fright
ful to the other lads that had to see
me stalking around In those boots.
After awhile, though, nearly all of the
other youngsters showed up with cop
per toed boots nnd thus took tho wind
out of toy suits. I
"We never see boys wearing peaked
caps any more notice? I don't mean
these dluky little cloth cups with peaks
to 'em, but regular soldiers' caps with
glazed peaks. First boy that turned
up In our neighborhood with one of
those things on mude a sensation, all
right. ' This same boy had got bold of
a carpenter's pencil somewhere, and
he'd stick that carpenter's pencil un
derneath his forage cap. with the
sharpened end projecting In n mighty
blase way thlit certainly caused us to
regard hi in ns some pumpkins. I was
always cruzy for a carpenter's pencil
when I wns a boy. but I never got
hold of one never did huve much
luck when I was n boy anyhow. My
folks Were too blamed respectable.
"As a mutter of fuct you can Mleve
It or not, hut I'm telling you the truth
they wouldn't let me nt the age of
ten apply for the Job of brakemnn on
a pusseuer train1. That. I thought,
was the finest Job In the world brnke-;
man on n passenger train Just swing
ing a red lantern all the time, and
wearing n peaked cup mostly on tho
left ear, and tho peak pushed buck so '
as to show an oiled hang plastered
dov.'B. nnd sitting on a wood box in
the smoker talking to fellers, and car
rylng a pair of red flags around every
where, nnd all that. But the main ap
peal of th6 brakeman's Job was the
pair of red lanterns. ' ,
"Oh. well, that pair of basket aleev ;
protectors that I saw at the poultry .
market the other day certainly ct
rled me back a loug way, and I mi
still laughing like n fool when I stroU- '
