rupted me by saying I had iised that expression so 

 often it had lost its effect." 



There ain 't much to add to a fish story of 

 that size, only it seems to me dear old Mrs. 

 A. I. Eoot is apparently on to " Uncle 

 Amos" bigger 'n a elephant when he gets to 

 talkin ' about fish in any way.

Now, while I have just had to let A. I. 

 Root into this department for oncet on ac- 

 count of his poachin ' on my fishin ' pre- 

 serves in Gleanin 's, I want to clean up with 

 him and get shut of the subject. It ain't 

 that I want to pick on him either. I don't 

 pick onto the Eoots any more than just so 

 as I can look freedom, free speech and the 

 American flag in the face without blushin'. 

 The Eoots are ambushed along my breadline, 

 and I ain't much for gettin' disconnected 

 with fairly regglar and dependable food sup- 

 plies. Old man Solomon was onto the racket 

 when he got off that one about ' ' the curse 

 of a poor feller is his poorness." He had 

 probably just seen some one like me, hired 

 out, and not any braver than he figgered he 

 dared to be, but wantin ' to be more so the 

 durndest. Let's see, tho, I was talkin' about 

 Romethin ' else. It was about gettin ' thru 

 with A. I. Eoot in this M.-A.-O. dept. oncet 

 and for all. There is one thing he's got to 

 stop doin '. Anyway, E. F. Holtermann of 

 Canady says he's got to. That's inducin ' 

 beekeepers to stray off into the goat-keepin ' 

 business. Holtermann was around the ofl&ce 

 here the other day, and I heard him tellin ' 

 how it had raised the very deuce and all 

 with one of his beekeepin ' neighbors. He 

 said this neighbor was a desciple of A. I. 

 Root, and got to readin ' that goat stuff in 

 Gleanin 's, and went and bought two goats. 

 Well, this prospective goat millionaire, who 

 was a superintendent of some big concern 

 and generally away from home at work all 

 day, went away to work one mornin ' last 

 fall leavin' his two Williams staked out near 

 his apiary of which he was awful proud too. 

 They were both chained to a ring in the top
