THE COUNTRY BOY 



Marquam, a village of about forty inhabitants, 

 not counting the town cows, some eight miles 

 below town, where they were also having a 

 celebration. "All right," said Bob; so we 

 proceeded. 



We left Silverton about eleven o'clock and 

 neglected to get anything to eat as our minds 

 were too much on business and on the way to 

 Marquam, I, as trainer and manager, sug- 

 gested that w^e should have had something to 

 eat but that now we had better postpone it
