The proprietor asked him If ho wouldn't sit down, and he said be couldn’t very well, aa hia back waa lame. He seemed discouraged, and the propria tor asked him what waa the matter. -Well." said he aa ha put hia hand on liis piatol pocket and groaned, -there is bo encouragement for a boy to have any fun nowadays. If a boy tries to play an Innooent joka, begets kicked all overthe bouse.” The storekeeper asked him what had hapitened to disturb his hilarity. lie said he had played a joke on his fa tber and had bwn limping ever since. •‘Yon see. 1 thought the old man was a little spry. You know he is no spring chicken yourself, and though his eyes are not what they used to be yet he can see a prwtty girl further than 1 can. The other day I wrote a note in a Ane hand and addressed it to him, asking him to meet ine on the corner of Wisconsin and Milwaukee streets at 7:80 on evening, and signed the name of ’Daisy - to it. At supper time Pa he was all shaved up and had his hair plastered over the bald spot, and he got on some clean cuffs and said he was going to the consistory to initiate some candidates from the country, and he might Tint be In till late. He didn't eat much supper and hurried off with my nmbrella. I winked at Ma, hut didn't say anything, At 7:80 I went downtown, and he was Btaruling there by the postoffice corner in a dark place. 1 went by him and said. ‘Hello, Pa. what are you doing there?" He said he was waiting for a man. 1 went down street, and' pretty soon 1 went up on the other corner by Chap man’s, and he was standing there. Yon see. lie didn't know what comer ‘Daisy was going to be on and had to cover all four corners. i*=fe/JI^ iffl J i— ! ... / SiWil W, n K m ii » lUJ'+W « —'— i ( 7 ( -X- .

It is a mean boy that won't speak to his Pa when he sees him standing on a corner 1 went up street, and i saw Pa cross over by the drug store in a sort of a hurry, end I could see a girl going by with a waterproof on. but she skited right along and Pa looked kind of solemn, the way he does when 1 ask him for new clothes 1 turned and came back, and he was standing there’ in the doorway, and I said: ’Pa, yon will catch cold if yon stand around waiting for a man. You go down to the consistory aud let me lay for the man. Pa said. ’Never you mind yon go about your business, and l will at tend to the man. “Well, when a txiy's Pa tells him to never yon mind and looks spunky, my experience is that a boy wants to go right away from mere, and I went down street i thought I would crossover and go up the other side and see how long he would stay. There was a girl or two going np ahead of me. and ! see a in,-in hurrying across from the drug store to Van Pelt’s corn- r it was Pa. and as the girls went along and never looked around Pa looked mad and stepjied into the doorway. It was about b o'clock then, and Pa was tired, aud I felt sorry for him. aud I went up to him aud asked him for half a dollar to go to the Academy i never knew him to shell ont so freely and so quick. He gave me a dollar, and i told him I would go aud get it changed und bring him back the half a dollar, but he said 1 needn't timid the change. It is awful mean of a boy that has always been treated well to l»iay it on his Pa that way. and I felt ashamed ‘As I tun^d the corner and saw him standing there shivering, waiting for the man, my conscience troubled me. and I told a jiolicetuau to go and tell Pa that ‘Daisy had oeen suddenly taken with worms and would not be there that even ing. 1 peeked around the corner, and Pa and the policeman went off to iret a tmijt fmmrrr »m drtat. l waa glad they did. ‘cause Pa needed it after standing around ao long. fSSSSSvSwS p. that way. I heard Pa coma home about 11 o’clock, and Ma waa real kind to him. 8be told him to warm hit feet. they were just like chunks of ice. Then she asked him how many they in Mated la the consistory, and be said six. mA then she aeked him if they initiated Daisy* in the consistory, aad morning pretty soon j heart Pa snoring- In the he toe* me into the basement sod gave me the hardest talking to that I ever had wffc wrdkm, a had h slat. He all said he knew that I t at note the time, and ha thought be would pretend that be waa looking for ’Daisy' just to fool me. “It don't look reasonable that a man would catch epizootic and rheumatism just to fool his boy, does it? What did he give me the dollar for? Ma and Pa don’t seem to call each other net any more, and as for me they both look nt me as though 1 was a hard citixeu. 1 am going to Missouri to take Jesse James' place. There is no encouragement for a boy here. Well, good morning. If Pa comes in here asking for me. tell him that you saw an express wagon going to the morgue with the remains of a pretty boy who acted as though he died from concussion of a lied slat on the pistol pocket. That will make Pa feel sorry, Oh. he has got the awfulest cold. though." And the boy limped out to separate a couple of dogs that were fighting. CHAPTER n, THK BAD BOY AT WOl’.K AO AIK. Of course all boys are not full of tricks, but the best of them are. That is. those who are the readiest to play innocent jokes and who are continually looking for chances to make Home howl are the most apt to turn out to be first class busi ness men. There is a boy in the Seventh ward who is so full of fun that some times it makes him ache. lie is the same boy who not long since wrote a note to his father and signed the name “Daisy" to it and got the old inan to stand on n comer for two hours waiting for the girl. After that scrape tiie old man told the boy that he had no objection to inno cent jokes, such as would not bring re proach upon him, and as long ns the boy confined himself to jokes that would simply cause pleasant laughter and not cause the finger of scorn to lie pointed at a jwrent he would be the last one to kick. So the boy has been for three weeks trying to think of some innocent joke to play on his father The old man is getting a little near sighted, and his teeth are not as good as they used to lie. but the old man will not admit it. Nothing that anybody can say can make him own np that his eyesight is failing or that his teeth are i>oor. and he would l»et $100 that he could see is far as ever. The l>oy knew the failing and made up his uiind to demonstrate to the old man that he was rapidly getting off his base. The old jierson is very fond of macaroni undents it about three times a week. The other day the hoy was in a drug store and noticed in a showcase a lot of small rubber hose about the size of sticks of macaroni, such as is used on nursing bottles and other rubber utensils. It was white and nice, and the boy's mind was made up at once. He bonght a yard of it and took it borne. When the maca roni was cooked ami ready to lie served, he hired the table girl to help him play it on the old man. They took a pair of shenvs and cut the rubber hose in pieces about the same length as the pieces of wS:i ,, sr:^rLr“ir‘“E triiien and placed the dish at the old man's pl H te. Well, we suppose if 10.000 |*eopleconld have had reserve seats him] seen the old man struggle with the iudia rubber mac aroni and have seen the boy's struggle to ........ ..... First the r° old 'fmn delegate attempted 1 ',vrr, to cut the macaroni into small pieces, and fail ing he remarked that it was not cooked enough. The boy said his macaroni was cookcd too tender, uiul that his father’s teeth were so jxior that he would have to eat soup eutirely pretty soon. The old man said. “Never you mind my teeth, young man.” and decided that he would not complain of anything again. He took up a couple of pieces of rubber and one piece of macaroui on a fork and put them in his mouth. The macaroni dissolved may enough and went down perfectly sasy. hut the flat macaroni was too much for him. He chewed on it for a minute or two and talked alxmt the weather in order that none of tiie family should see that he was in trouble, and when 'he found that the macaroni would not go down be called their attention to something out of the window aud took the rub Sick Headache and are in senarabU. T ry it. •f y. » :*I3I m. h 7' Ilf fVwd turn •emtivw-v pifl ehening puna. her ilfly from hi* month and laid it under tha rtf* of hia plate. He wan more than half convinced that hia teeth were played oat. bat went on eating aooiothing eiae for awhile, and Anally he thought he would Jaat chance the maca roni once more for lock, and he mowed away another forkful in his mouth. It waa the Maine old story. (Ye chewed like a seminary girl chewing gam. and hia eyes stock oat, and hia face became red, and hta wife looked at him as thrroyh afraid he waa going to die of apoplexy, and Anally the servant girl burst oat laughing and went out of the room with her apron staffed in her mouth, and the boy felt aa though it waa unhealthy to tarry too long at the table, and he went out. Left alone with his wife the old man took the rubber macaroni from his mouth aud laid it on his plate, aud be and Ids wife held an inquest over it. The wife tried to si*>ar it with a fork, but couldn’t make any impression on it, and then she saw it was rubber hose and told the old man. Ho was mad and glad at the same time—glad because he had found that his teeth were not to blame and mail lie cause the grocer had sold him boarding house macaroni. Then the girl came in and was pul on the confessional and told all, and presently there was a sound of revelry by night in the wood shed, and the still, email voice was saving: “Oh. Pa. don’t. You said you didn’t care for innocent jokes. Oh!” And then the old inan between the strokes of the piece of clapboard would say: “Feed your father a hose cart next, won’t ye? Be firing car springs and clothes wringers down me next, ch? Put some gravy on a rubber overcoat proba bly and serve it to me for salad. Try a piece of overshoe with a bone in it for my beefsteak likely. Give your pixuv'd father a slice of rubber bib in place of tripe tomorrow, I expect. Boil me a rub ber water bag for apple dumplings pret ty soon if I don’t look out. There! You go und split the kindling wood.” ’Twas ever thus. A boy can't have any fun nowadays. Among tin incident! of childhood thu stand out in lx»ld lv.ief ns our nvmory reverts to the days when we were yount. none are more promindnt than severe sickness.
