Banks County Gazette. VOL. VI A CURE FOR BORES - ! 'I am in trouble,” said Bremnev to Ins friend Soumcis, ‘‘and I want you to lie’p me out.” “Financial ?’ asked Sommers, with a slight contracting of his eyebrows. “Oh, no. Wor a e than that a good deal.” “I didn't know anything could be worse io these paniey times. What is it ?’’ “1 have a friend,” said Breintner, “or a man who thinks himself my friend, and whom for certain reasons 1 wish t<> shake off. but be refuses to be shaken. Now you are a resource fui man and may be ab'e to give me a hint. I have tried .everything with Stints —every thing short of of positive insult—and all to no purpose.'' “What is the matter with him:” risked Sommers. The nutter is this: He has a boy 7 years old or thereabouts, and be al ways persists in talking about the lad —in fact, he ian’t talk of anything elae—and imagines eveiy one as deeply interested as himself. J have nothing at all against the bov lie is good enough, commonplace little fellow, like nil the rest of them. 1 never see any huierei ce in boys my self. They all teem equally cbjee tional. But Snaggs comes 1o our house bus down and talks about his hoy until ]’am pearly driven crazy. I hope you can suggest something for my re lief.” “1 suggest.” said Sommers, “that rou take Snaggs to the state of Mich igai*, U. S A., and kill him ” “Why to Michigan?” queried Brern luei. ‘•Oh, simply leeau-e they don't bang for murder there, and any penal iv short of Imaging should he cheer fully borne to get rid of a man like Si aggs.” “I didn't knorr vow were acquainted with him,” said I ’••on arer ex-itcdly. “I’m not, blit I’m afflicted in tho s.rne way myself.” ‘Nonsense!” cried Promt nor, “I never oven heard you mention \or cliihlrej!.” •i mean th. lam afflicted with a friend like Snaggs. It’s a (laughter in Ins case. 11is name is Gregsbv I'm even worse ulf than you are, f,,r this only daughter is but f> s ears old. You are two years, ahead of me. By and by the boy will reach years of discretion, and ne will get then; quicker than Gregshy's girl,” “1 don't know about that," Hr. in ner replied gloomily. “Girls grow up so much faster than boys do.” “But they never reach years of di.- cretion, you know." “I don’t believe any son of Snaggs' will either. Tim boy’s hither hasn't at any rate. But I say, Sommers, an idea strikes me , Why not introduce Snaggs and Gregsbv to each other?” “That wouldn’t he a bad plan," re- Thin, Pale Children One satisfaction in giving Scott’s Emulsion to children is they never object to it. The fact is, they soon become fond cf it. Another satis:action is because it wi.i make them plump, and give them growth and prosperity. It should be given to all child; n wffo are too tiiin) or too pale. It does net make them over-fat, but plump. It strengthens the digestive organs and the nerves, and fur nishes material for rich blood. We have a bock telling you more on the subject. Sent free tor the asking. SCOTT 4 P.OWNE, New York. plied Somuicrs cheerfully, “and then we might bet on them. I’ll back my man to be the greater bore.” “Fnere would’t be any use in bet ting,” said Bremner, ‘'for if your man is as bad as mine it could only end in a draw.” “Bring your man round, and we'll tost the case.” “Shall 1 bring Suaggs to your house tomorrow night then?” asked Krein ner. “Yes, and if vou’re in for a bet I’m your victim. !• have great faith in Gregby and would like to have a little stake on him.” “It’s a serious with me,” replied Bremner. “Oh, very well, then, I'll expect.you t morrow night 'about S o'clock, though I suspect yotirman is not hid; so capable a bore as mine,” It was a few minutes before 8 o’clock when Gr< gsV.y pressed the electric button at the Sommers residence. Sommers heard h.m talk to Mrs. Sommers in the hall saving: “Oh, yes, thank you. she is quite well. I'll tell you something funny that she said today to her mother.” Sommets groaned and helped him self to a quantity ot the stimulant provided for his guests. The moment Grigsby appeared, smiling, and Som mers greeted liitn with well feigned cordiality. Very eoen the Leli rang again, ana | a few minutes after Ibeinner was in traducing Sntts'gs to the two sitting: in the smoking room. “Beastly we. t!r*r this,” said Gregs by to lilt) newcomer. “I don’t mind the weather myself, but when a man lias children he is compelled to think cf it.” “ila-.e you children?” asked Snaggsj with apparent interest. “I’ve*;! little j boy in\self, hut he doesn’t mind the! weather in the least.” “1 shouldn't say children,” replie 1 | Gregshy. “1 have one little girl, am 1 she is only 5 3 ears old, but wonder fi by knowing for her ago, and this! weather is so had that she misses he* walk with her mama. We never trust 1 her without a nurse, you know”— ‘•I was saying,” broke in Snag's* “Licit i have a little boy myself. He is 7, and be goes out in till sorts ol weather. I don’t believe in coddling children. And that reminds me of a clever thing lie said tome this morn ing. Me alw a vaccines a little piece cf the wav with me when 1 start for of fice. Lie”— “All, yes," interrupted Gregsliy, “but girls are delicate little creatin', s and have to lie taken care of.” •'Quite so," agreed thiaggs. “1 admit, thiit there are disadvantages about gil ls that beys are (juito fro from.” “Disadvantages!’ cried Gtvgsby: “You don’t mean to say that a groat clumsy boy is to be compared with a neat little girl ? I would rather have -a girl any' day, big or little, than a boy.” “Oh. every one to his taste,’ said Snaggfc loftily. “My the way, Brern ner, did 1 tell you what, my said the other day when I took him to have his iiatr cat ?” “No," said lire nn r enthusiastically “Teli it 1 > us, Snaggs.” “C-irls,” put in Gregshv, “don't have to have, their hair eat. My little girl has the most beautiful of golden hair you ever saw. You’ve seen it, Sonniers. Kverv one turns to look at her when, she walks out with her mother.” “Humph:” arid Snaggs, with ill concealed contempt. “1 was saying that I took my boy Vo have his bail cut, and it was the first time that he had ever been to a barber’s shop. A ; man was being shaved, and his face [was all over lather. "Without a word the boy drew his hands from mine and bolted for home, rttnniug so fast that ; I didn’t overtake him until he was at | the door. WVhat did you do that fur> you ■ oung rascal ?’ I said. “ *Oh, papa,’ he ana wsorod, ‘if my | face is going to break out like that, 1 don’t want to havo my hair eat. Fun !nv wasn’t it? He thought the father was the result of the lniir cutting HOMER. BASKS COUNTY, GEORGIA : NOVEMBER o, 1896. lie’s awfully quick at reasoning, that boy.” ‘“Well, it seems to me that he didn’t reason to a very correct conclusion. Now, tuy little girl was haring a dress titled the other day, and she asked the dressmaker where the dress orchard wat. Site thought that dresses grew on trees.” “1 must confess that I can’t see much reason about that,” said Snaggs spitefully, ‘“if you are giving it as in stance of reasoning against what my boy said of the man at the •barbel’s. - ' ‘ Reasoning?” holly replied Gregs by. “I never said anything about reasoning It was poetical. She thought dresses grew on trees, and that ribbons v. ere the blossoms. She tola me so herself. And then another time she and her mother were com er sit'S” — "You’ll have to excuse me, said Snaggs, rising. “I remember now that 1 have an appointment at the club. 1 forgot it ihemner, when 1 promised to come here with vou.’ “‘Oh, don't go {vet,” saul Ihemner. •‘Tell us that story about what the hoy said to the organ grimier.” “Ah, yes,” said Snaggs eagerly, ap parently forgetting lus appointment in the joy of narration. “‘.Mr. Som mers didn’t hear that one did he? Well, one day an organ grinder stopped in front of our house”— ‘“1 don’t wish to interrupt,” put in Gregsby, also rising, “but 1 promised -Mrs Gregsby that 1 would be home almost directly. 1 merely came over, Som.tea's to tell you that I could not stay tonight.” “Oh, well,” cried Sommers aud Cremner simultaneously, using aud holding out their hands, “if you rtflly must go, why, you must, I sup pose.” “1 am very giad to have made your acquaintance, 14 r. Gregsby,” said liremner as he sliyok'hands and wished him good night, and iit- added: “1 wh-.h you would come over some night and sA“ met Aly lriend Mr. Snaggs here often pops in, and we wilt all get better acquainted.” “And you, Mr. Snaggs, drop in and see me,” said Sommers. “Vou wili be nearly always sure ot uncling Gregsby litre. Come in often and have achat. 1 have a lot of hoys my self, and I like to hear about them.” ‘ That man Gregsby is a blanked idiot,” said Snaggs to lire inn or a few day s afti r, “and I give you notice that if 1m comes to your house 1 won’t.” And as Gregsby said almost the s ii.io thing to Sommers let us hope that the acid of one neutralizes the other Idler.
