SMITH. { RAYMONDO BUILDING ning to the cloud may rouble is, clonds do it turned inside out.— The poor may not be getting poorer, but they are certainly getting loss sat- Fooling Dad By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY (Copyright 1912, by Associated Literary Fress Thirty years is a long time to carry a grouch against the world, but Moses Fairbanks had done it, and also com- pelled others to belp him carry the burden. At the age of twenty, being then a farmer's son, Moses fell in love with a village girl, and perhaps there would have been a marriage in time had not a young man from the city interfered. On finding himself thrown over, Moses® first thought was to lick his rival. He tried it—and was badly walloped. From that hour he was death on dudes. His idea of a dude was a “feller” who wore good clothes, tipped his hat to the opposite sex, made the most use of his fork at table, and demanded something besides his coat sleeve to wipe his mouth on, Moses had an fron will and would not depart from the policy he had mapped out. He married a nice girl, but as a wife she could not even argue with him on the grouch. That was the bitter spot. He was called eccen- tric by some, and a fool by others, but he went his way just the same. Children came to the family. The mother would have taught them many little things the times demanded, but the father opposed. The worst licking his son Harry got during his youth was administered for raising his cap to a merchant's wife, and the worst that his son James got was recelved for saying “Yes, sir,” to a dude of a drummer. The boys grew up rough and uncouth, with just the rudiments of an education, and the father smiled as he thought how he was beating the world. ; His daughter Cally took after her mother in all things but that of ob- stinacy. She had that trait from her father. She was soft-spoken and gen- tle in her ways, but at the age of six- teen her father was glad to permit her to go and live for a couple of years “Plenty of Dudes There, | Suppose.” with an aunt. It was his undoing. She acquired a fair education and a good deal of the world's polish, and her wits were sharpened until she be- came a plotter and a conspirator. A nice young man fell in love with Miss Cally, and for a long time she failed to realize that he came under the head of dudes. Even that he wore collars and cuffs would have been cnough for Moses Fairbanks to point him to the door, When the girl did realize this it was too late. She loved in return, and her aunt encouraged her. George was the son of a fairly wealthy man and love resulted in an engagement. It was then that aunt and niece awake to the gravity of the situation. It might have been solved in five minutes by a se cret marriage or elopement, but queer Iy enough both young people opposed these ideas. George's parents might be willing to consent to a marriage, but when Miss Cally thought of her father she shivered. She could imag- ine her young lover, even though his shirt cufts had been forgotten, stand- Ing before her grim and grouchy fath. er and asking for her hand. One look over and then it would be: “Marry my daughter! No, you fn- fernal dude—a hundred times no!" And her brothers would snigger and | haw! haw! and go outside to waylay the dude and pound blazes out of him for his cheek. Oh, yes, she could fig- ure it all out, and her cheeks burned with shame and her goul rose up with indignation. It was then that she be- came a plotter and a conspirator. “You'll have to have a frank talk with George.” cautioned the aunt aft | or she had been told of the plot. “1 mean to.” “Perhaps he'll see some romance in it, but I can't.” “Iut he'll have to see the romance | Dad's got | | if we are to get married ! to be fooled or I don't marry any one™ ree was told the histore of the 1. and he was told what he must t It looked good to he matter. fore e had heard !

There was no putting on frills in any direction. When it came to the supper table the girl made much use of her knife and drank her tea from her saucer. She also asked for a second helping of |; “them ‘taters.” The father nodded his head in ap- proval. Going away from home had not spoiled his daughter. | “Plenty of dudes there, I lnppou!"l he queried. “Yes, but I had no use for them.” “If you had I'd have sure disowned || vou. What’s this we hear about your | playing the pianer?” “I can jangle on it.” “Well, tomorrow you take hold and help your mother to jangle this housework. I'm looking to take on another hand at the mill, and if I get one, he will come here to board. 1 s'pose you went to school over there and learned a lot of flumididle non- o “¥ome history and geography.” “No more good to a woman than so much sawdust.” Moses had spoken of the mill. It was a sawmill, and he and the boys had run it. When very busy an extra hand was hired for a time. Ten days after Miss Cally’s return a young man presented himself at the mill and asked for a job. He was dressed for work, hut his hands were hardly rough enough. “Guess you haven't got the mus. cle for sawmill work” replied the father as the sons stopped work te listen. For answer the applicant picked up a heavy plank and boosted it up on the pile without much effort, “Purty good, but you've got the voice of a dude.” “Lemme see If he is a dude,® said Harry as he came forward and took a wrestling hold of the stranger. 2 In fifty seconds Harry was on his M back in the sawdust, and it took|*~ ten seconds less to put James down. |n. “Twenty dollars a month and board,” said Mr. Fairbanks, “All right” ¢ And that was what Miss Cally had plotted and planned and succeed: ed in bringing about. She met the new hand cordially, and he rat down to his first meal and ate as the rest did. For just an instant he hesitated about taking his seat in his shirt sleeves, and then down he sat. In side of four days he had made such progress that Moses said to his daugh ter: “l was a little shy of him at first but I guess he's one of our kind and all right. T'd be mighty glad to see you married to a feller like that. He ain't working his mouth all the time like the boys. but is right after his work."” There was no courtship. That Is neither the father nor the brothers surprised any kissing or overheard any terms of endearment, but at the end of slx weeks the hired man stood | before Mr. Fairbanks and said: “Sir, 1 have asked your daughter to be my wife. WIiN you give her tc me?” . “flanged 1f T don’t!” was the reply “I'm just fearing all the time some dude will come along and get her tc elope with him." The plaln truth had to be tolc, again. For three minutes after the| father had heard it he sat silent Then he quietly said: “I wanted to be an idiot all the rest of my life, but I see I've got tc change. Get marrled as soon as you will and you all hear me when | say that we begin ecating with our forks tomorrow morning, and there's no more pouring our tea fntc the sassers to cool it off. As for dudes, 1 'spose they've got a right tc live same’s the rest of us.” Boy Answered Him, John Muir, Californfa’s naturalist and explorer, relates the following story of Col. D. C. Collier, director general of the Panama-California Expo sition of San Diego: While riding along & mountain road in San Diego, Cal, Mr. Collier came upon a dilapidated corral fence upon which hung a sign bearing the follow ing announcement: “For Sail" A bright looking small boy sat on the fence beside the sign and Mr. Colller acked him, “When does this ranch sail?” The small boy glanced up quickly at Mr. Colller, smiled. and sald, “When some sucker comes along who can raise the wind.” Mr. Collier doffed his sombrero, thanked the lad for his information, and rode on his way feel ing greatly enlightened.—Hearst's Magazine.
