Neighborly Remarks
WllT.N' my father came liomo from his
night wutchlng this morning I had
mado coffeo nnd was flopping pancakes.
lie was pleased and that pleased Howdy
nnd me, and I sat on his lap and Howdy
tried to, but my father would not let
him Howdy wagged his tall Just the
same, for that Is ono good thing nbout
Howdy: It docs not hurt his feelings or
make him mad. no matter whnt ou
do: he Is lour friend Just tho same.
After mv father went to bed Howdy
nnd I rambled When wo were going
pist tho Carpenters' wo saw Mrs Car
penter sitting 011 tho porch eating pea
nuts out of a bag. I stopped nnd said
to her, 'VThey look like good peanuts."
So sho gavo ino n little one and that
mado 1110 mad anil I mado up a song
and sung It to her This Is tho song:
"Mrs Carpenter was sitting on tho fence
trlng to mako n dollar nut of fifteen
cents " Mie Is so stingy that the song
kind of g t her goat and sho said, "You
are an ungrateful Ittlc snvago and I
should think our mother would turn
"over In her grave. You need 11 good
spanking" I put out my tongue at her
and went away.
Tho womin atros tho street was out
In front of her house wheeling her baby
and she sild to me, "Will vou wheel my
baby up and down vvhllo I run over to
the store to get something for break
fast?' 1 said, "Tor cat's sake, I cannot
wheel It up and down, but I will wheel
It back and forth for ou" She said,
"Do not get saucv." I said. "1 won't."
She looked nt lie and then sho gavo me
tho hindlo of tho buggy and went across
tho street I took a look at tho bab)
nntl then when she enmo bick I bald,
"I see vou havo mado u trade,." Sho
said, "What do ou mean?' I sa'd, "I
nic in that ou havo gut a different
baby' Sho screamed and made n Jump
for trie bab and then she said, "Wh
did ou frighten me to?" I said. "Well,
this Is not the bnbv ou used to have
Tlio other lnby was a little red-fict-d
monkey and this baby Is prctt " Mie
sa'd, ' This is tlio same babv," and
seemed pleased I certainly was sur
prised, for the baby Is fat and white and
has trcises on its wrist and it liughcd
and mado a I olso nt me, and I believe
I nm going to like 't The bab's mother
said she would let 1110 hold It some tlmo,
but she ein't fool me, this Is not tho
samo bab as tho ono that was red and
Driiin 1 1 "
Then Itowdy nnd I went to Old Maid
Tompkins s and she kissed mo and
seemed glad tn see me M10 nsked me
If I was going b uk on her and 1 told
her that 1 would itvtr go batk on her,
for I did not t He how main wrinkles
she had, as she is my friend She looked
mad and did not give me 1111 pie and
did not give Howdy 11 bone, but slic
asked nic to tome again if I felt liko It
Though sho was kind ot 1 hilly I will
