___ RABBITS A SKINS
p k O W N in the well, with no way of
getting out and with little hope
of rescue, Chris Thornton remem
bered the line he had written over
and over in his copybook some 40
years before. “ N E V E R P U T O F F
T IL L
TOM ORROW
W HAT YO U
C A N D O T O D A Y ." He could fairly
see the large round letters he had
so laboriously formed with pen held
stiffly in ink-smeared fingers.
The line had had little meaning
for him then—just some words that
he m ust write over and over until
M iss Curry was satisfied. And Miss
Curry had been hard to satisfy. Its
m eaning was brought home sharply
to him now—when perhaps it was
too late.
However, the former owner of the
farm had let so many things about
the place run down that he had time
only to take care of what seemed
most necessary. Undoubtedly, he
thought ruefully, it would have been
wiser to rephice the rotten boards
that covered the abandoned well,
even though his cows might have
stepped over a fallen wire to tram
ple his prom ising corn.
A ll day he had been fixing fences,
and coming home he had forgotten
about the well which he could not
see in the darkness. An ankle had
been hurt in the fall — perhaps
sprained or broken. It was swollen
and painful, and probably would be
worse by morning.
about—like worrying about the crops
or planning something else. Such
worries looked pretty inconsequen
tial now. And unless he could get
out of the well, there wouldn't be
any more planning.
Thinking of the .line made him
think of the boys who had been
his schoolmates and playm ates In
th o se
long-past days — Tom ,
George, C e cil, Jim m y , Fred and
many others whose names he
could not even recall. Where were
they now* He hadn't seen one of
them for years.
Dim ly their faces appeared out of
the past, and then the line came
bobbing back, blotting them out.
“ N E V E R P U T O F F T IL L TO M O R
ROW W H A T Y O U C A N DO T O
D A Y ." Why couldn't the line stay
away, he thought angrily. It couldn't
do him any good now.
His dog began barking—at a
squirrel m aybe. Or was somebody
com ing? He shouted for help, hope
fully at first, but as the minutes
went by, despairingly.
The dog continued to bark. Prob
ably at a squirrel, for there were
many of them about*.
“ Where are y o u ?" some one culled
faintly.

After the stranger had found a
ladder and helped him out. Thorn
ton said, “ I should have fixed that
long ago. 'W ay back when I was
in the second grade I wrote In my
copybook
about
'leven
hundred
times. 'N E V E R P U T O F F T IL L
TO M O R R O W W HAT Y O U C A N DO
T O D A Y .' and I've certainly found
out now how wise that is ."
t
" I suppose that makes good sense
alw ays," agreed the other, “ unless
there’s an exception to prove the
rule."
“ Well, if every rule has an excep
tion, this was no exception, any
w a y ," Thornton said, udding sud
denly, “ Say, how did you happen to
com e?"
“ I represent the Valley Farm er.
Your subscription has run out.”
Thornton laughed. “ There's the ex
ception we were talking about. I got
a letter from your paper a month
ago asking me to renew. I've put
off sending the money again and
again, but if I hadn't put it off, you
wouldn't have come today.”
He struck a m atch and looked at
his watch. Twenty to nine. Surely it
m ust be later than that, for it
seem ed like hours since he had
fallen. He held the watch to his ear;
it was running now anyway.
N ever before had a night been
so unending. Snatches of sleep
cam e at intervals, sleep broken
by torturous dreams in which he
was forever clim bing, yet never
quite reaching the top.
How long, he wondered, could a
m an live without water? And how
soon would anyone miss him? Not
soon enough, he was certain.
The farm lay in a lonely place and
a car seldom passed over the grass-
grown road. He had had few visitors
during the months he had lived
here. Lou Edw ards, his nearest
neighbor, had stopped in several
tim es, but it was unlikely that E d
wards would come again soon for he
had little time for visiting since his
last boy had left.
Thornton knew that a man could
clim b out of 5 well without a ladder
by bracing his back against one side
and getting a toehold between the
stones on the opposite side. He had
seen it done though he had never
tried it him self. To try it now, when
his foot was so painful he could not
stand on it, was out of the question.
"Should’ve busted m y neck in
stead ," he muttered bitterly. “ That
would
have
ended
the misery
sooner.”
The stars faded from the small
circle of sky that he could see.
Gradually light entered the well.
Whining softly, his dog looked down
at him ; probably she had been sit
ting there all night, w aiting for him
to come up. If only there were a
w ay to have the dog summon help.
He m ight as well forget that. There
w asn’t any way.
H e wished it would rain, for
enough water m ight run down into
the well to satisfy his growing thirst.
Then too, Edw ards m ight find time
to com e; his other visits had been
made on rainy days. M ight as well
forget that too. It wouldn’t rain.
Why did that copybook line keep
looming before his eyes? Otherwise
he never thought of things that hap
pened so long ago. O f course, other
wise he had other things to think

U . S. economy is expanding under
the pressure of postwar necessity,
but that almost frantic expansion is
taking a high toll in deaths and in
juries of workers.
L a st year, the bureau of labor
statistics reports, was the seventh in
a row in which more than two mil
lion workers suffered disabling in
juries on the job. Tim e lost during
the year because of injuries amount
ed to 44.7 million man-days—the
equivalent of a year’s full-time em
ployment for about 150,000 persons.
Giving even greater pause was
the fact that 17,000 persons were
killed in job accidents during 1947.
Bureau of labor statistics puts
the blame, to a large extent, on
rising employment. Another factor
last year, however, were two ma
jor industrial disasters—the Texas
City explosion and the Centralia,
111., mine disaster—both of which
took heavy tolls.
Jo b Injuries in 1947 increased 1
per cent over 1946, job injury deaths
jumped 3 per cent. The year's toll
included 1,800 employees who will be
totally disabled for the rest of their
lives and another 90,000 who will
suffer some permanent impairment
as long as they live.
Increases in injuries and deaths
occurred in construction, mining and
quarrying, public utilities and trade.
Agriculture and railroading injuries
were fewer than In 1946.

Football Coaches
The new football season of 1948 al
ready is under way. with the great
est coaching shift in history. There
are new men at Yale, H arvard, In
diana, N avy, Michigan, Washington
and Kansas, to mention only a few.
They are all good men and those
who have the best material will win.
Those who haven’t, won’ t.
The most distinct shift belongs to
Herman Hickm an who left Arm y for
Yale. The poet laureate of the
Sm oky mountains, who as a fat coun
try boy, reached stardom as a guard
a l Tennessee over 20 years ago, had
no early dream that some day he
would be head football man beneath
New Haven’s classic elms.
At West Point, Hickm an became
the best line coach I ever saw. He
also became one of the most inspira
tional factors in all football.
N o one can say just yet how Hick
man will work out as a head coach
in his first year. M y guess is that
the Sm oky mountain bard will do a
fine job with even fair m aterial.
Even at football's middle age,
Herm an knows in advance that he
can handle any man on his squad,
physically. This was true at Arm y
when he had Coulter, Foldberg.
Steffy and a few other, brawny
linemen. I’ve seen Hickm an take
them on two at a time with his
am azingly active 300 or more
pounds.
Hickm an should make a fine head
coach. He has been a great football
player—and also a great fellow. B e
tween seasons he can take over the
chair of mountain poetry at Y ale, in
which his kinfolk might figure.
