ONLY A FARMER.

■“Qsly a fanner, a tiller of soil,
with baadx etaxaei by labor and hardened by tod,
Seated is the country be knows iiaia bet wok,
Always eat* wait ids knife, while disdaining the

<< Onlya farmer—eo awkward—a boor.
And what a far worse, he always ia poor.

wuz a onery set, an’ every blamed galoot '
ov ’on art a been made to stretch hernp
In the next place, I figger thet thar low
lived Judas feQar ort to V been a dog-
goned sneakin’ coward. I don’t mind a
feller bein’ mean when he's oat an’ oat
in it, but I hasn’t got no use for them un
derhanded esses what plays the part o’
a friend an'is jest a watchin’fer a chance
to throw off on ye. I put thet thar Judas
down fer a mouty mean ateak, fellers,
an’ if he wus yere Fd teR him so. an’ if
; he give me any of his chin it wouldn’t
take me morn two shakes of a sheep's
tail to put a chunk o’ lead through *101.
Parson, them's my sentiments, an’ I
reckon they’re krect. too. Mebby I
hain’t talked as well as some fellers
you’ve heerd, but you want to bar in
min’ that talkin' ain’t my fort. I kin
grub long outer a pay streak bonis well
as any of 'em, but this yere is a new
lead to me an' I don’t feel right at home
! on it.’
‘•"With that Shorty sat down an’ waited
fer some o’the rest ovus to speak, but w. Bev.s&m. p. Joses says:
we didn’t feel ekal to the 'casion, so no- fc". sirffering wife bid access to mar me<n-
SHORTY’S CONVERSION.
“Wal, you see thar wuz ’bout a dozen
of us fellers over thar workin’ the
mines, an" bein’ all men, we got ter be
blamed tough. We didn’t have nothin’
to read, an’ nothin’ to do when we
• wam't workin’ but to play keerds an’
drink whisky, an’ so we sorter slid down
Mil into ettrsedness, and got to be 1)001
the hardest lot ever a feller see.
"But one day long in spring, 1)ont
four years ago, a feller come long over
thar boldin’ meetin's an’ Sunday schools.
When he fust struck Horsethief Pass we
'didn't take much to ’im, an' some o’ the
fellers talked right smart 1>otLt givin’
’im a coat o’ tar an’ feathers an’ ridin’
outen the camp, an’ I reckon they’d
a done it 'but for a leetle carcumstance
•whut happened jest then.
“You see old Shorty Brown wuz the
leader in the camp, an’ every feller
swore by him through thick an’ thin.
Shorty wuz powerful wicked an’ could
out cu— a dozen common fellers, but he
had a heart in him bigger’n a punk-in an
bid do anything to help the boys out.
“Wai. ’bout the time they wuz talkin’
o’ tarrin the preacher Shorty begot hurt
in the mine, an fer a week wuz powerful
bad off. W % got ter thinkin’ he’d reached
the end o’ his leed an’ that he’d hev ter
cross over the range. Shorty’d been the
■wust feller in the camp agin the preacher
and it wuz him that proposed the tar and
feathers, so when he got hurt the others
dropped the matter, an waited fer him to
git well if he wuz a goin' to.
“We wuz workin’ like eve'thing then
to git a new mine opened, an’ we didn't
hev much chance to look after Shorty,
eo we had to leave ’im to git long by
hisself. That preacher, he see how it
■wuz, an' blame my skin if he didn’t jest
go right down to Shorty’s cabin, an’ fling
off his coat an’ turn nu.ss. An’ he stayed
by Shorty jest like a mother, an’ waited
on ’im an’ give ’im medicine till he polled
through all right an' got well.
“After that we all thought a good deal
more of the preacher an’ as for Shorty
—wal, I reckon he'd made short o’ any
body who'd a said a word agin him.
Shorty wasn’t a man to go back on a
friend, an’ he never forgot a favor. As
eoon as Shorty was able to git about he
comes down to the saloon whar we usu
ally round o’ nights, an’ he says:
“ ‘Boys, the parson's a goin’ to preach
down at my cabin to-night, an’ I want
ever last one o’ ye to come.’
“Want none of us hankerin’ to go,
but we could tell by the way Shorty
spoke that he wuz in dead earnest ’bout
it, an’ we knowed it wouldn't be every
healthy to refuse, so we agreed to come.
“ ‘An’ I want yon to b’ar in min’, says
Shorty, 'that the preacher’s my friend,
an’ that he’s got to be treated white. I
want ;,*o u feUers to behave an’ act de
cent, an’ if any galoot disturbs the meet-
in’, blamed if I don’t put a hole through
'im on the spot.’
“Shorty’d a done it, too, an’ we
knowed it, so you may jest bet yer last
dollar that we wuz a moughty well be
haved congregation that night as we
squatted agin the wall o’ Shorty’s cabin
an’ listened to the sarmont.
■“At fust I didn’t take no special inter
est in what the preacher said, an’ reckon
none o’ the others didn’t neither, but af
ter he’d talked on a while he kinder
warmed up to business, an’ fer 1)out a
hour he talked powerful eloquent, shore,
an’ the way he ripped them old rascals
away back ther’ to Jerusalem wuz a
caution. Before he'd gone very far we
all got powerful interested, an’ could a
listened a heap longer if he'd a kep’ on.
“After that we tuck to goin’ to ineetin’
reg’lar, an’ afore many nights we got to
lookin’ forrard through the day, an’
'feelin sorter anxious to hev night come
an’ with it another sarmont. Shorty
aliera set up in front along o' the
preacher, an’ sometimes when I looked
up thar an’ see him so solemn like an'
remembered how he ust to cuss it wuz
’boat all 1 could do to keep from laughin'
eight out.
“Wal, the meetin’s kep on fer a week,
an’ then one night the preacher said he
reckened we ort to hev a Sunday school.
Shorty said ‘Certainly,’ an’ the rest nv
us agreed, because we thought it ’ud
■save trouble. Yon see Shorty had got
mouty pious, but the way he fingered
them shootin’ irons o’ hish made ns a
leetle jnbous uv ’im, an’ we didn’t know
but he would break out an’ shoot some
nv ns ’fore he knowed what he wuz bout.
“So the next Sunday we met at
Shorty’s cabin to git up a Sunday school
Fust the preacher prayed an’ sung, an’
then he read a chapter o’ scripture ’bout
Judas betrayin’ his master an’ all that,
you know, an’ then he axed us to talk—to
sorter give our notions of it. After
waitin’ awhile, an’ nobody else not get-
tin’ up, Shorty rose an’ said:
“ ‘FeUers, this yere’s a new lay to me,
&n’ it comes a bit awk’erd, an’ I mayn’t
be able to say nothin’ o’ any count, but
I’m blamed if I don’t feel like somebody
ort to make a few remarks, an’ I'm will
in' to wag my chin fer aR ther is in it.
The parson wants our notions o' this
yere whut be jest read, an’ fer my part
I hain’t back’ard bout givin’ mine. In
the fust place I think them thar Jew?
I body rose up.
“ ‘Look yere, boys,’ says Shorty, ‘this
won't do. Some ov ye shortly got no
tions bout this business, an’ if ye hev the
parson wants to hear ’em. Git up, fel
lers, an’ speak out.’
“Stiff nobody didn't move, an’ I could
see that Shorty want pleased. He

an" said:
“ ‘Stumpv Jackson, yer got gab ’nuff
when it comes to swearin’, an’ I figger
| that you could fling out a few remarks
on this ercadon if yer tried.’
“ ‘I hain’t no speaker,’ said Stumpy,
i ‘an’ Fd rather be excused.’
f “ ‘Look yere, Srumpy,’ said Shorty,
| ‘we ain't gedn’ to hev no sneakin’ out o’
j 00ties in this business. Just you rise
up thar an’ set your mouth a goin’, will

“Stumpy see that he war in fer it, so
he crawled up. an’leanin" agin the wall ..., , , , 0 e
with his hands run down in his pockets VVhoi6S3:e DV BranjlOn & Ca son,
he said:
“ ‘Fellers, I’m with the pjarson. I'm
in favor o’ this yere Sunday- school. I
think that ther .Judas chap what parson
read bout wuz a gol darned scamp, an’
I'm agin ’im. Them’s my notions.’
“With that Stumpy slid down the
wall to the floor, an’ the parson talked a
little more and then the thing wuz over.
“Party soon after that the parson
went away, an’ we wuz left to git along
without ’im. But Shorty came out
mouty strong then, an’ ’lowed he could
run the instertution, an’ he did, too, an’
; made a success of it, you kin just bet.
“I never see Shorty's head fer fakin’ a
interest in what he took hold on. ’Peered
! like when he set in to do a thing he jest
put his whole mind to it, an’ he wasn't
I satisfied less he wuz doin’ his level best.
That's the way he vuz bout that Sun
day school, an' every- Sunday he wuz
promptly on hand, an’ he see to it that
; every doggoned one of U3 wuz ther, too.
I never see sic’n a change in nobody
| noth .-r as there wuz in Shorty. He quit
i cussin’ an’ fightin’, and he never per-
j tended to go bout the s'loon no morn if
:‘thar hadn't been sich a thing. When
I he wasn't at work he wuz readin’ the Bi-
ble, an’ lots o' times he would set fer
i hours a singin’ them old chunes, and fer
me kin' music he wasn't to be snuffled at,
j lerome tell ye.
| “Wal. we got ’long fust rate with that
! thar Sunday school, and ever Sunday
i Shorty’d explain to us bout them Script-
j urs, and he'd alius give that thar Judas
j feller a gouge Tore he quit. Shorty
; never could b'ar a sneak, an’ I reckon
: that Judas wuz as low down an’ misera-
j blS a sneak as ever lived, jedgin' from
what T ve heerd ’bout ’im.
"One Sunday, long two or three
months arter the preacher left, Shorty
got up after the Sunday school business
wa3 done an’ he says, ‘Fellers, ’cordin’
to my way o’ readin’ this yere Scripture
II figger out that we ot to be baptized, an’
! this book knows its business, so 1 reckon
j well go down to the crick right now
: an' git that over.’
“Stumpy hopped up to argy the ques
tion an’ come out agin baptizen, but
Shorty shet 'em up in short order an’
carried the pint his own way.
“ ‘A leetle water won't hurt you, no
how, Stumpy,’ says Shorty, ‘an’ I reck
on you needn’t be so powerful skeered
uv it. Yer ought to bathe once in yer
life, anyway, an’ now’s as good a time
as any.’
“That wuz a party hard crack at
Stumpy, fer joorin’ the six years he’d
been at the camp he hadn’t never bathed
none. Still, Stumpy wuz a mouty good
hearted ole chap, an’ we all liked ’im.
“But bout thet baptism. As I said,

“ 'Twasn't long afore Shorty's Sunday
' school got to be known a fer an’ near
I 'mong the miners, an’ sometimes people
| come as much as thirty miles to see it in
I operation. I remember one time a lot o’

j began to laugh an’ make light o’

long, lemme tell ye, for the fust thing
they know’d Shorty laid down the book

“ ‘We’re genfl’ ter hev order in this

that Shorty never had no trouble, an’
fer fonr years that Sunday school has
been a runnin' right along, and today
it's Sonrishin'.’’—Thomas P. ilountfort
