He thought how then he’d look across the great gulf dark and drear that’ll yawn between his happy soul and those who swindled here, and when for wa ter they would call and in agony they’d caper, he’d shout to them ’’Just quench your thirst with the due that’s on your paper.” Call Central—she knows the right number. ESAU BUCK AND THE BUCK SAW An old farther of Arkansas, whose sons had all grown up and left him, hired a yong man by the name of Esau Buck to help him on his farm. On the evening of the first day they hauled up a small load of poles, for wood, and unloaded them. The next morning the old man said to the hired man: ‘‘Esau, I’m going to town to day and while I am gone you saw wood and keep the old ram out of the garden.” When the old man had gone Esau went out to saw the wood, but when he saw the saw he wouldn’t saw. When Esau saw the saw he saw he couldn’t saw with that saw. Esau looked around for another saw, but that was the only saw he saw so he didn’t saw. When the old man came home he said to Esau: “Esau,did you saw the wood?” Esau said: “I saw the wood, but I wouldn’t saw it.” The old man went out to see the saw, and when he saw the saw he saw that Esau couldn’t saw with the saw. When Esau saw that the old man saw that he couldn’t saw with the saw, Esau picked up the ax and chopped the wood and made a seesaw. The next day the old man went to town and bought a new buck-saw for Esau Buck, and when he came home he hung the buck saw for Esau Buck on the saw-buck by the see-saw. When the old buck saw Esau Buck looking at the new buck saw on the saw-buck by the see saw, he made a dive for Esau and hit the see saw, knocked the seesaw against Esau Buck', who fell on the buck saw on the saw buck by the seesaw. When the old man saw the old buck dive at Esau Buck and miss Esau ad hit the seesaw and knocked the seesaw against Esau, and Esau Buck fall on the buck saw on the saw buck by the seesaw, he picked up an ax to kill the old buck. But the buck saw him coming, dodged the blow and cauntered on the old man’s stomach, knocked the old man over the seesaw on to Esau Buck who was getting the seesaw, crippled Esau Buck, broke the buck saw and the saw buck and the seesaw.—Ex.
