The Fool Age
A hoy passes thru the “fool age”
between Ifi 4ind 1 years of age, and
some of them do not fully recover
from it until they reach 22. i think I
was 24 l>efore I got entirely over it
and then matrimony gave it a severe'
smack. . >
I recall that I thought IM just lay
down and. die if 1 didn’t get a i>ui0»f
greet) sikh’s when I was oozing into
lb and long hritt hes. Tlu* l.ord knew
that r was ugly enough without any
sp«H s wn at all. but I saw a mall with
a pair, (HI and that set me on fire. He
had the sore eyes, 1 didn’^ have.'tMii,
but that made no differe^te'e. 1 scared
several .nules an<l4\aggins itito run
away sji'apes with them green specs.
I managed to procure a pair' of un
derwear whtm 1 was IK, and as that
was “something” for a young feller
to have in my neigtiborhood, 1 always
let Icm poke up above tny britches at
the waist-band su’s the public e()uld
keep fully'^informed of my progress.
I also allowed the string.s (that were,
due>ert»c ta*d ari.utid my ankles) to
h^ing d4wm and flop along on the;
ground/ I gainc(l much jirestage
on account of that cquipineiit.
Tile nt'Xt great evetit that came my i
way was a pretty blue hat the‘only
one »ver seen by tin natives. It hud ai
red hand aid helicM' me. Sallie Ann,
- that heady*ir. km eked ’em pretty
cold. 1 wore itjt’ll it went t<j seed—,
meaning lliat it btcanit' funnel-shaped
after R.o long a time. 1 had to .scuffle
around pretty hard t«y faise them 2ft -
cents that that hat stvod me, hut I got j,
7 or K dollars vvorh of jiUasure out
of its use.
I to yearn for striped S(Kks
when 1 reached IK, and striped socks
back-then were the berries, 1 think 1
paid 15 cents for'my fir.st pair', and
talking about fanty footgear,, them
socks had everylhiiig known to civi
lization'skiiit a race course. When I
sat down on the train .or in anybody’s
house, I managed to carelessly pull
my britches legs up to my knees so's
all onlookers could get a couple of
eyesfull. But they finaly wfSre out.
Then I drifted into yelow-tan shoes,
fis shiny as a cat’s eye. I should.have
worn 8s, but the man in the store had
only 1 pair and I think they were 5<b
Imt 1 bought ’em just the same. I did
tome very tall spludging around while
I had thelfr;' but I stayed crippled
from Sunday till the following ^^|rt^ir-
day—after doing, my stuff in them
till late (about 9 o’clock) every Sun-
di^ night->-and 2 of my feet have
not yep fully recovers^ from the dam
age < wrougM by that pair of pain-
makers. And. folks, I had several oth
er experiences like unto theae during
-a my **iool ace”-^.-irUeh lasted <1 or 7
