laid down his papor and bognn to shuck
a Ihreo-ply peanut, "l'vo had asamplo
of it in my own family, nnd I know now
it works."
"Don't you bcltovo In such oxcrclso
for n young man?"
"Wall, the oxorclso may bo all right,
but tho fellers git fnlso ideas in their
bends. Take my son Cyrus, f r instance.
Cy was a lcotlo inclined to consumption,
and I raythcr encouraged gymnastics.
It wasn't thrco weeks aforo ho begun to
git sassy. I gavo him a llckin' ono day,
and I could sco that ho didn't tnko Jt
kindly. Ho began to put on airs over
his mother, and whon I cum to inquire
around a lcotlo I found that Cy was on
tho box. Ho wasa-holdin' up his dukes
and knockin' tho boys right nnd left 1
overheard him talkln' to our Bill about
'position,' 'guard,' break away,' 'knock
out1 and sich, and every day ho got
sassier and sneslor. Ho was eighteen
yoara old, but I alius lick my boys till
thoy aro past twenty. I saw that Cy
was goln' to buck. Thar was Hill and
Tom and Jerry to bo affected by his ex
ample, and I felt that sunlhin' ortor bo
dona Ono day wo was holn corn, and
Cy was off. 1 didn't mind it fur awhile,
but blno-by I got rllod and said:
"' 'Seems to mo you ur' achln' fur a
llckin.'
" 'Mobbo I am, fathor,' ho replies, aa
cool as ico, -but 1 shan't git it. l'vo bin
licked fur tho last timo.'
"'Causo why?' I asked,
i """Causo I won't allow it.'
"Then I know that tho timo had
tomo when ho'd got to havo sunthin'
itrongor than boss medicine. Ho'd got
tho big head on him tromonjus, and it
was then or never.
' 'Supposo wo walk ovor to tho barn,
Cy?' I koorleasly remarked as 1 finished
row.
"Ho said ho was my huckloborry, and
wo dropped our hoes and wont. When
wo got insldo wo botli begun to pool by
-mutual consont, and Cy carried a grin
11 ovor ills face. Ho'd been put on to
ft now upper-cut two or thrco days be
fore and ho was calkolatin' on spilln'
my chawln' machino at tho fust blow.
Ho looked tho jitiwluiuly as ho squared
off, nnd 1 raythur anticipated the want.
I novor fit in my life, but when wo
4quared off 1 was bound to down Cyrus.
Says I:
" 'Cy, will yo quit yor sass and
knucklo If I don't lick yoP'
"And ho said: 'Ivathor, ralso yor
dukes a lootlo liighor, and look out fur
no!'
"With that ho tapped mo on tho
iloro-room with ono hand and culled
my oar with tho other, and I nailed in.
Ho gavo mo ono on tho tooth-box as I
closed In, but artor that tho gate monoy
was inino. I throwod liim into tho

bind tho granary, and I was goln' to
run liim through tho corushollor, whan
ho hollered 'Knoughl' and bogged mo
to lot up on him. It worked a mighty
luddon euro on him. Swollln' all wont
out his head that night, and whon 1
lickod him witli a cornstalk noxt day
ho was as humblo as a calf. (Jymniw
