FROM ROUND OAK.
Deak IlfiADUiourWi’h gun
and dog wo eet out a few days ugo
to p ay “N.ntrod.” Didn’t go far
before wo male ru'ady, pook aim
and fired at a lark, but when we
picked it up it turned out to bo a
‘‘yaller hammer.” Did you ever see
the t ing 10 oi‘ one of these birds ?
If not, take a good big earth worm
and p ill at both etj is until its
strotchjbility js exiiaqsled and you
hare it. We walked and hunted,
then hunted and walked. No njore
gaajo for the “mighty hqu'er. y »
Wo tfion mudo tracks for tho homo
of our bachelor neighbor, Liit, with
the expectation of’etm-ng with him.
Before reaching the house wo met
up with him, When we we reached
the 3 aid gate he handed us the
house key, siting, “Go in and look
out for No. 1 until I give some or
ders to my freedtnen,” We duj as
directed and on looking around the
room could not holp but hum tlie
little song, “Bachelor hall, what a
.queer looking place it is; Things
take care of yorrseff if yon can, etc.”
Kit soon came in and found us suf
fering seyerel}' from a pretty tough
spell of big hungry. Dinner was
finally announced and \yo did jus
tice to the golden colored biscuit,
snow whjte bqttor, bode? handle
sausage, charcoal hum, jet black
gravy, ju-ju-pftsto rice and freckle
faced butter milk. Dinner being
over, two regulation clay pipes were
brought into requisition and were
soon filled with manufactured to
bacco. Puff after puff wont the
smoke, curling its way to the ooil
ing overhead to rest at lost on the
cobwebs that frescoed the co?n*rs
of tho room. After discussing farm
affairs, we finally sail, Kit. why
dout you marry some nice girl and
let her keep this great big house for
you ? For Iloayeng sake, he ex
claimed, havent I been on the pad
for twenty years to accomplish that
thing and got busted in every town ?
Well then, we said, you are a regu
lar mattimonial tourist. Said ho,
Gal) it what you will. I’ve told the
truth. Now Kit, old fellow, make
one more desperate effort and do as
we tell you. Well, what ? “Fall in”
love with Mis-i , ‘•Attention'*
to her pay faithful^', “Ri 'hi fare’’
and pop tha question, “Quick
march’’ to Lor parents and a*k for
her, “File right” to tho church
with her, a fow friends and the
preacher, an ! commit matrimony
on the npot. “Hull''’ and refloat se
riously of your new duties, ‘’Break
ott” staying out at night and things
will move idong nic*!v enough.
By George 1 I’ll dolt, said ho. All
right Kit, must go now, good bye,
remember your promise. W o shoul
see a joroo cutting bis every day
“didoes” in a brier patch and sing
ing bis oit repeated cong of “chow,
