\Vvva 67;. Paw in New Trouble. GEORGIES DAD ASPIRES TO SHINE AS A BOXER. A While ago the Dockter told paw he must take more Exersizc than he Could get putting up awnings and painting Porches or Ennything of that kind, so pawjoined a Jim nasyuni and is Lurn- ing to be a nathleet. Uncle wesley wanted him to Join the golf club, but paw Told him he hadn’t enny youse for that game, becoz it duzzent help a Person to Lurn the manly art of self Defense. We could see a big change in paw rite off after He joined. The first nite he came home with a nawful Looking: Eye, and a few days after that he neerly Broke a Laig falling ofin a ‘ Horry Zontul bar. -“ But never mind,” he told maw when she Complained about it. “They say these things happen to Everybuddy when they Begin. After I get a little lust to it I can stand a Blo that would neck a nox Down and ast fer more, and it’s always a good thing to no How to put up Your hands, becoz you never no "what mite Happen.” “ Yes,” maw says; “ I’ve notust that, espeshelly when you start out to Do vennything.” Besides going to the Jim nasyum, paw fixt up a place to exersize in the :attick, with a Punchen bag and Injun [clubs and a Lot more things to Give you mussul. The other nite Uncle wesley and Aunt grace and the Bassetts Come over to make it plesunt for us, and paw Got to telling them About the way he had Things rigged Up, and Mrs. Bassett sed she would give enny- thing in the world to See a Boxin match hecoz she had heard so much about it. So paw invited them up in the attick to see Him punch the bag, and after he did that a While he set Uncle wesley if he wouldn’t like to put on the Glnvs for a friendly round. Uncle wesley is about a Hed taller than paw and ways 200 Pounds before meels. He sed he Didn’t care to make a munkey of himself before the folks, but paw says : “ Oh, you needn’t be afrade you’ll do that! I’ll do it For you i.” Paw and Mrs. Bassett were the only ones who seen the joke, and it seemed to Tickle them a Good Deal. I gess Aunt grace didn’t like the way they Laft about it, so she told Uncle. wesley to go shed and put them on just. to Sho that he had a Friendly Spcerut. “ All rite.” Uncle wesley says, “ but of Corse I don’t purtend to Be a Box- er.” . .When they got the Gluvs on, paw sed : “Now you See the Difi'erunee be- tween Our Size. Wes, you’re neerly twict as Big as I am, and you have a narm on you that 0t to Be powerful. But it’s not Only strenth that counts in this World. Look at David and the (Hunt. If it wouldn’t of Been for Da- vid’s skill what Sho would he Ever stood? Syunce is the Thing thatcounts in this world Every time. Now, I’ll .Just sho you people the Differunce be- ..tween Syunce and broot strenth.” They Had thare Cotes off, and we all 'stood Back to give them room, and they Begun to Fiddle for a. nopening. l’aw danced around a good deal and put on a lot of extry flurrishes to show how the Thing at to be Done if a per- son wanted to Be artistick, and then he hit Uncle Wesley a smash on the Cheak. and I gess it made Uncle weslcy mad or Sumthing, for he hailed off in His Big, okward, unsyentiflick Way and Let paw Have one on the End of the Chin. We could see the Difl‘ernnce be- tween Syuns and Broot strenth with the naked I rite there. After a while paw set up and Looked around like if he wondered if he had only fell ofl‘n the platform or if the Hole trane Had Roll- ed over on Top of him, and when’he could speck be sed it was a Chance blo. “ Yes,” Mrs. Bassett told him, “ We could all see that plain" euufi'. If you wouldn't of chanced to he thare, it wouldn’t of tutehed you. But what’s the good of Syunce if it Can’t keep the Thing you Don’t expect from always Happening?

I was dreaming I was a boy again, waiting for Christmas, and when another boy ashed me if I didn't know who Santa Clause was, I said questioningly, ‘ Is it my auntie?’ The dear old lady brought me up, you know.” “ Oh, you darling, big-hearted boy! ” 0" Not Unexpected.
