They lie around soda founts and drink eth nothin# but slop and hookworm. They grow with nothing in theii mind except smoking cigarette.l - cussing. When he gets to the age of 16 hi then wants a new suit of el die with the bottom turned up abou 6 inches above his ankles, then n pair of low e.ut tan shoes, a pan loud socks, with purple background with violets all around. He look' like a little bananna merchant walking around oil the street. The inside of his head is almost like the inside of a pumpkin. Hi falls in love with some little spiudli shank girl with a bolt of pink rib bon on her hair. Then he wants an auotomobile so that he may ride her back and forth in the springtime. He thinks it’s a sin to work. He calls ohl men liars and gets what little pin money his mother has got and scatters that like a cyclone scattering a rail fence. He sits up at night to write poetry and never thinks of. the multiplication fable. His mind turns to the vanities of life and not to the high cost of (lour and eornbread. “Well, well," we think that he needs a young hickory applied to the southwest corner of his anatony. He thinks his father a plodder and his mother a backnumber. He pictures to himself how great rich es suddenly acquired, dreams of steam yachts and private cars. Yea, he thinks himself the REAL stuff. lie butts in very often where he is not wanted; he criti ciseth his elders; he purehaseth cheap perfume that smells louder than a billy goat. At last lie gets a job as a clerk in a store at $1 a day and pull extra change from his boss until he is caught and is seat, to the gang which is then a blessing to bis dear old parents. FOR SALE.

Just below an arched stone bridge which carries the road over a pebbly brook the brown waters swirl down among rocks and, spreading out, form an ideally deep and foam-flecked trout pool. It looks a fit spot for a veritable king of trout to hold his solitary court, and there Is a tradition in the Imme diate countryside that some years ago a three-pounder was taken from its waters. It is this tradition which every year hires to the bank of the beautiful pool ardent anglers who vainly hope that history wifi repeat Itself. Early on a misty morning In April a young man In mackinaw and soft hat, carrying creel and slender bam boo rod, came down the highway to ward the pool. A gray roadster stood on the bridge. On reaching the first point In the road from which the brook was vis ible he glanced down, then stood a moment and watched. Evidently what he saw was Interesting, hut also dis appointing, for he continued on, per haps a mile farther, to the banks of a Smaller stream. The cause of this change In purpose was a slender, girlish figure, clad In a corduroy sport suit, soft velour hat of brilliant green, and long-legged rub ber boots. Standing back from the pool, care fully manipulating a whippy "split" ' - Held It Tentatively Taut rod, eyes Intent on the delicious wrig gly worm she was skillfully guiding down the "riffle," the fisher girl did not see the man who stopped a mo ment on the road above and then passed along out of sight. On the opposite bank of the brook stood a large tree, whose low-hung branches Just cleared a backwater. The slender rod whipped, and by a clever cast the girl placed the lure temptingly In the shadowy spot A sudden Jerk on tho line, and It started off dowp stream 1 Quickly the girl yielded the slack she held In her left hand, and the reel hummed. Then a tense moment, as she care fully snubbed the line and held It ten tatively taut. With a sudden slight movement of her rod she started to reel In. At this moment a small urchin appeared on the bridge above and stopped to watch. Carefully the girl played her fish. As the line shortened there came a splash and the flash of a mtghty tall. “Gee, but that must be a whopper 1” sang out the small boy excitedly. But the girl was thinking hard. Not ex pecting anything like this, she had neglected to bring a landing net. The strain on the delicate rod was Increasing. It bent nearly double. She did the only thing she could think of In the emergency: walk backward and literally dragged her catch up the shelving shore. Fortunately he was well hooked, and her gear was of the best “Oh. golly I” exclaimed a voice close poslde; “but ain’t he the pippin I" The girl looked Into the freckled face of the small boy. But she was too Intent on her task to answer. With unwinking eyes the urchin watched her as she vainly tried to ex tract the hook, and finally ended by borrowing his knife und cutting the Una W’itb flushed faces the girl and the small boy, In the freemasonry of Sportsland, examined, admired and exclaimed over the speckled beauty. “Gee I Bet It’s big n 6 the one old Tea body caught here. Golly I I’m going now and tell him about it." And the small boy disappeared. The fish proving too large for the creel, the girl put It in a knapsack she carried suspended from her shoul der, and. climbing up to the road, un- her rod on the way, seated herself In the gray roadster and soon was merely a part of u cloud of dust vanishing In the distance. The small urchin had slowed down ’E ARSON TRIBUNE PEARSON, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 to a walk when he met the man In slouch hat and mackinaw returning. “Say, mister,” he said, bursting with Importance, “you ought to ’a' seen the -pippin the lady Just caught In the big pool.. This big 1” And he measured at least a yard with his grimy hands. “That so?” said the man. "But you’re exaggerating a little, aren’t you, sonny?" “Jest you go there and see It your self,” returned the boy, starting off again on the run. The man quickened liis pace, but when he reached the pool no fair angler was In sight That evening, seated In the lounge of his club, the sportsman was re lating the Incident to several com panions, who received It with the cus tomary skepticism. One of them laughed. “You didn’t fall for that kid’s yarn, did you, Hammond? You know the small boy’s power of exag geration.” “Well, It’s an accepted fact around here that some unusually big trout for this part of the country have been taken from the Pebbly brook pool; and I’ve always put a lot of faith In it.” Ilammond spoke rather louder than his wont. A young chap stood in the doorway. At Hammond’s words he came for ward. “I don’t know how you heard about it, for when I came away she was lamenting that she had had no one to talk It over with, but that must be the very trout my sister caught to day. It weighs Just an even two pounds to the hair. I don’t know much about fishing, and care less, but Anne is bugs over it" The group turned to him Interested ly, and Hammond asked him severul questions, but the boy seemed rather bored by them, and gave very unsatis factory answers. “I’d give a gootkdeai to see that fish," exclaimed IlamiUond. The boy brightened considerably. "Say, I’ll call Anne up and Introduce you over the phone, and you can go right down. She’ll be tickled to pieces to find one who's interested—and then I won’t have to go home at 10, os 1 pi onilsed her." “I’ll take you up on that,” replied Hammond. When Billy Crane did return that evening It was considerably after 10, but Trnsk Hammond and Billy’s slater were still poring over catalogues, try ing to decide the best place to send the trophy to be mounted. They had already made a date to fish Pebbly l.rook together the next day, and over hauled Anne's tackle and got It In readiness for the trip, managing to be come very well acquainted In ths process. It was a month later, one evening at sundown, when Anne stood again on the bank of the Pebbly brook pool, easting her bait under the low-bang lug branches of the big tree opposite, end remarked to the man who wua standing close by watching her: "It’a foolish to try, I know; I probably shall never land a two-pounder out of here again. That was my lucky day." The man spoke slowly, while the brown swirling waters toughed down over the stones; “That has been the luckiest day in my life, so far. But you con make today the very luckiest ever If you wish." The girl watched her curling line closely for a moment; then said, arch ly: “You’re too big to go In my creel, but so was that two-pounder—and I didn’t put It back, did ir TOOK IT AS A COMPLIMENT Whittier's Pet Dog Had Reasons for Showing Appreciation of Sing ing of “Robin Adair." An old lady who was a friend of the poet Whittier tells the following story: At one time, when hts birthday was being publicly celebrated, he hnd as a guest Mrs. Julia Houston West, then the most celebrated oratorio singer in America. After the dinner Whittier asked her to sing. She chons for her selection the ballad "Kobln Adair,” which she sang with great pathos and feeling. Hardly had she begun the song when Whittier’s pet dog came into the room, walked over close to her side and stared up at her with every expression of delight When she hnd finished, he lifted his paw to shake hands, and then, leap ing up, he licked her cheek. "His name Is also Uobln Adair," explained Mr. Whittier, "so he takes that song as a tribute to himself.” And very evidently he did. From that moment he devoted himself tq Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side, Indoors or out, during her visit; and when she went away he carried her traveling bag in his mouth as far as the carriage, and showed his sorrow over her departure In every way that a dog could. —Youth’s Companion. He Sought Relief. The boy had the musical talent which permitted him to play by ear everything he heard, aud which also drove him to the piano when be was emotional front any new experience or excitement. When he was 12 he took part In a religious ceremony at his church, a ceremony from which he was supposed to receive spiritual good and uplift. He came home elated by he didn’t know just what, but the minute he entered the house he rushed to the piano to relieve his emotions and madly dashed off. with the loud pedal od. “I’m Old, But I’m Awfully Tough." —Springfield Republican.
