"Thar ai folks as will contend that
the mewl has no gratitude in his soul,"
said the old possum hunter as he walk
ed through the chestnut forest on the
side of the Cumberland mountains,
"but them thar folks Is wrong."
He baited to rub his itching back
against a tree and then continued:
"Every critter is agin the mewl and
ready to wallop him, and why should
he be grateful? Why shouldn't he be
onery and cantankerous? I'd be mean
er'n pizen if I was a mewL Howsum
ever, I'm goin' to tell you about grati
tude. .
"Soon after the wah some fellers
come along yere with a drove of mewls,
and one of the critters fell sick, and
they gin him to me. He was about
the meanest lookin' mewl I ever did
see, but I kinder hoped he'd make np
fur it in bein good. He didn't, how
ever, , doggone his hide, but when he
got. well be was meaner'n skunks.
He'd bite and kick at anybody who
come within ten feet of him, and if I
bitched him to the cart he wouldn't
pull a pound. I was keepin' him
around in the hopes to trade him off
when along comes a stranger one day
from Arkansaw. The old woman was
gone to a naybur's. and I was, sjttin'
on the doorstep when this stranger
halted and said:
' 'Kin I everlastin'lyand eternally
flatter myself that I am addressin' the
celebrated and notorious Zeb White?'
' 'That's me. said I. "
' 'The critter who tias killed 9,000 pos
sums, 3,000 woodchucks, 4,200 coons
and fifty b'ars?'
'Them's about the figgers, stran
ger.' - . .
' "The man who crowded a circus
elephant into the ditch, flung a bull
over the fence and licked three wild
cats barehanded?" ...
'.'That's mostly me.'
' 'The man who has outrun, out-
jumped, outwrassled and outfit every
critter in Tennessee who would tackle
him?' -
" 'Kinder jthaf
".'Waal, now,' goes on the man as we
shakes bands. yo' seems to be some
pumpkins, and I hope yo' ar", fur I
walked over from Arkansaw to gin yo'
a trial. I'm twine to do my best, Zeb
White, to lick yo' outen yo'r butes!'
" 'What fur?' said I.
" 'Jest to take yo' down a peg and let
yo' know that thar sr' two or three
other folks on airth. Yes, I'm either
gwine to make yo' holler or else live
on roots all the rest of my days!'
" 'I don't want no quarrel with any
body said I, but I soon diskivered
that the critter from Arkansaw was
bound to Fipr a fnks. Hp brapged and
crowed and had so much to. say that I
hnd no other way but to tackle him.
We peeled off coats and vests out
thnr on" the level spot, and I noticed
the old mule stnndin" with his hind
quarters out of the woodshed doah:
"1 tell yo" what I'm gwine to do.'
said the stamper as he made ready.
I'm gwine to bite off yo'r right ear
and carry it back to Arkansaw i with
me as a sort of a certificate, and I
hope you'll write the date on it with
pen and ink before I leave.'
'We finally got to work, and I soon
found that critter all I could manage.
He was peart in his feelin's and a
hard hitter, and as he danced around j
he said:
" 'Yo' might as well begin to holler
right now. Zeb White, fur I've got yo' j
licked."
"Jest about that time 1 fetched him
a swat that keeled him head over heels .
and broke my thumb. He got up as
peart as yo' please, and, seein' my
thumb was broke and my right hand
useless, he put on mo' steam... It did
seem to me that fur the fust time in
my life I was g-wine to be licked, and
I had a feelin' of goneness clear down
to my butes. Broken bones don't
count in a fout down in this kentry,
yo' know. The man who comes out
on top gits the credit, and the other
fellow hasn't a word to say. Yes.'sah.
I jest dun reckon 1 was hevin' a pow
erful clus shave of it when Providence
interfered.. I was bein' banged all
around when 1 happened to see my
old mewl backin' up on us from the
shed. He'd heard that row and want
ed a hand- in. T'other feller's back
was to'ard the mewl, and I played to
keep it thar. He never had no warn
in', of what was comin'.'; .Then fust
thing he knew the mewl backed up
to within kickin" distance and let go
both feet, and old Arkansaw went
rollin' most down to the bresh fence
His breath was Rone when hestopped,
and I was also sittin' on his stomach.
In three or four minits .be opened his
eyes and looked, around and said:
" 'Ar' I back in Arkansaw ag'in?' "
" 'Not skassly.' said 1. v ,
" 'Zeb, 1 acknowledge to bein' a lick
ed man, but I'd like the consolasbun
of -knowin' bow 'twas done.' .
" 'It war a fa'r fout'
" 'I reckon it was. but I was gittin'
the best of it when yo' fastened a
couple of horseshoes to yo'r hands and
reached over my shoulders and hit me
in the back and sent me' tumblin'.
Was that what licked me?'
" 'Reckon It was.? "
"'Shake hands. Zeb White, and bid
me goodby.'
"And he shouldered his bundle and
went off whistlin'. and to this day he
don't know why that fout went ag'in
him. r heard that be went back to
Arkansaw and tried to fight with hoss
sboes tied to his hailds. but the other
critter evened np by shootin' fo' bul
lets into him."
The Family Portraits.
"What wbuld you say of a man if he
should hang the portraits of his fam
ily on tire putside of his house?" ask
ed a builder who has put up some of
.the finest residences in the city.
"r might say he was crazy," respond
ed bis friend.
. "Softly, softly. "The man 1 have in

Letters of Introduction.
If you introduce a friend to a friend
It Is better to write a little letter in
advance explaining the, coming visit
This insures a cordial reception and ar
ranges for a meeting and for a prep
aration that relieves a strain.
A letter of introduction should be a
few sentences written on your own
note paper and inclosed in an address
ed envelope which is not sealed. Do
not make any reference to the unhap
py circumstances of the bearer and
keep your own personal experiences
out of the note.
The letter should introduce the bear
er to the receiver and ask In polite
terms that any little courtesy that can
be extended to the stranger be exer
cised.. The recipient should be thank
ed for any help given. f

The Summer Guest.
Don't make the mistake of usurping
family privileges if you . are a guest
For instance, don't give orders to the
servants in the bouse and refrain from
doing anything that will disrupt the
scheme of the home in which you are
Visiting.
It is the duty of a visitor to be
ready for everything. If breakfast is
served at 8 and it is your place to
find out the time for meals you should
not be late. Nothing is more provok
ing to a hostess than to wait for a de
linquent guest and to sit down before
a cold meal. "Punctuality is the po
liteness of kings" and the hallmark of
a lady and gentleman. Don't fall in
punctuality just because you cannot
trace your family tree to William the
Conqueror. '
