tells me I am making Lindley Marr

"Hy education was sadly neglect
when I was young. I went to scho
only a few months and everything
learned was wrong, for the teach
was a farmer who took up education
work as a recreation when the weath
prevented him from cultivating b
beans. 7%e little I know I accumulf
ed by reading the newspapers and
few dime novels.
"Consequently I am always taking
fall out of th> language. I never con
wise myself to the fine points of gnu
mar, and It was only recently I qt
saying 1 done it,* and 'I have wen
Every now and then an aleck stops i
In the middle of a discourse and shoi
me where I am wrong, and If there
any way of getting even with that mi
I always do. There was a drumm
for a shoe house who used to freque
this place. I took a liking to him, ai
always gave him the best room ai
saw that his eggs were fresh from tl
vines, and looked after his oomfc
generally.
"One day I was telling him a stoi
and he stopped me just when I w
approaching the peroration, and begi
to explain the difference betwe
'shall* and 4wlU.' It seemed that I i
ways used one of these words wher
should have used the other, and In t
goodness of his heart he explained t
whole business to me. When he h
made everything clear he asked me
finish my story, but I told him, in a b
lng sort of way, that I might won
him to the quick by misplacing a f<
mgrc words, so I would spare him th
IHKUVU.
"Then he aaw he was is bad, and
began telling me how be always Ilk
to be corrected, and he took it 1
Silted that others felt the same w
ut it, and the more he talked t
lees use I had for him.
"He registered here many times a
er that always got the worst room
the house and if there was a parti*
laity tough steak on hand, it went
him. He tried his hardest to squs
hiroself, and was always looking
me, hoping to see a winning smile
my chaste lips, but he never got ai
thing but the arctic glare, and I si
pose he's kicking himself, even to tl
day, because he made that break. A
if you want to queer yourself with
your friends, you'll keep up this thi
of telling people of their mistakes.'
