Borrow trouble for your self, if that’s your nature, but don’t lend it to your neighbors.—Rudyard Kipling VOL. 14—NO. 20. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER The country blacksmith at the foot of the hill below our house, where the road forked is a vivid part of my childhood. It was from his flaming forge that 1 saw my first sparks fly, the first mule shod, and the first tire shrunk. He made the grain cradles for most of the Fork He ordered the blades from ('. H. Frankie & Co. at Charleston. But all of the rest of it he made. The sneads were made from cured ash saplings he found down on the creek. He selected the right ones, with slight crooks near the ground, just right for a cradle. He sawed the lingers out of three-quarter inch hard wood boards by hand and sand papered. polished, and varnish ed them until they were as smooth as glass. The braces rods, and small meal fittings he made himself. And when he finished with a cradle it was a real work of art. I liked to watch him shoe mules and horses. 1 feared their heels and thought he was a powerful and brave man to ease up against the meanest one, gradual ly raise its hind leg. stretch it back, and imbed it in his groin. The critter might try to rear kick then, but to no avail. He could successfully wrastle with him then, for he had a mechani cal advantage the way he had his hind leg hooked there. And I liked to watch him shrink wagon and buggy tires. Young folks now possibly know nothing about that. But you know the metal tires would get loose on the wooden rims during dry weather and when it was hot. They stretched more than the wood, and that made them loose. And a wheel would soon go to pieces in that shape. It was that tight tire on it that braced it and gave it “dish” and strength. He . would take the tires off, measure them and the rim to see how much too big they were, and then he’d cut the tire and weld it back right. After that he laid the tires on top of each other on bricks, built a fire over them, and heated them. When they were almost red hot, he’d pull the fire away, grab one with his tongs and hurry it onto the waiting wheel that lay on a special frame that would hold it for him. The rim would smoke and catch fire at places before he could hurry the wheel over a tr**gh of water. I liked to turn it for him and see it sputter in the water. We had to turn it fast so it wouldn’t burn the rim so much as to make it loose again. Then we helped him put the bolts back in that held them to the rim. Next week I’ll tell you a bit more about this remarkable man. Nathan B. Warren Seeks Election To Ward 1 Post Nathan B.
