CHAPTER ONE ( Tommy Randolph had always , been different. But his mother always thought he was grand. Even from the very first he had! been different. Uncle Louie had come to see him right after he was bom and had nodded his head and said: “That kid has got a future; we’ve got to give him a good! name.” Mom had thought she would like to call him Harry after her father, because Pete had been named after] Pop’s father; but Pop and Uncle Louie didn’t even look at her while! they were arguing. They were both! great Democrats and Uncle Louie ] would have been postmaster if Bryan had ever been elected; so Mom thought it was settled when! Pop, who had marched in all the parades carrying colored umbrellas! and who loved to sit and argue! politics, pounded on the table with I his fist and said: “We’ll call him William Jennings Bryan Randolph.” Mom was worried —one of those | quick flashes which come over a person. It was an awful long name, although it sounded grand; but the other kids would call him Bill and ! boys called Bill were always badj and hard to control. “The full name,” Pop was insisting in his heavy voice. Pop had a big enough voice any time but now it was louder because he was celebrating the new arrival. Mom tried to catch Uncle Louie’s eye but he was too busy thinking. Then he shook his head and said to Pop: “No—we’ve got to go back further than that. Bryan ain’t never been elected and I doubt if the trusts will ever let him in. We’ve got to go clear back to the founder of Democracy, to a president of the United States and the framer of the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson himself.” It sounded grand the way Uncle Louie said it, like he was making a speech, and Pop was satisfied to give up Bryan. Poor Bryan, Mom thought, somebody was always putting his name up and then he was never elected; and she was glad her son- wasn’t going to be named after anybody like that but after somebody who really amounted to something —a president of the United Status. A secret pride and -imbition was born within her at th* thought and she always went back to that moment when Tommy did something great. After all, Lincoln was born in a worse place and this was a free country and Mom did not think the capitalists were as bad as Pop said when he got to arguing, especially because when Pop got started he never knew where to stop and sometimes Mom thought he liked to hear the sound of his owi) voice. Pop, she sometimes thought, ought’ve been an actor instead of a glassworker; but that’s the way things went. His pap was a presser so Pop had gone to learn his trade early. But Tommy was different. There was the first time Mom had ever taken him out in his new buggy, all dressed up with a dress she had spent half the night on tucking and sewing insertion —a I dress for Tommy, it was, because Mom never bothered much about style for herself. People all along stopped to pat him and say how bright he was for one so young and who he looked like and al! that; but never once did Tommy pay any attention to any of them. It was|

Schwarts. I tlie president of the present organization, or any of the present members. The Habegger--Walters herd had an average of 38.7 fat per cow for August and Habegger Bros, were second with 35.<k Sol Mosser's Jersey herd was third with 33.9 pounds and Sleury aaid Schwartz's herd fourth with 33.6.

like he knew what they were saying and took it for granted, the cute little codger. Then up the street had come Ole Liz, the scraggly old colored woman some people thought was a witch. Mom remembered to this day how she had trembled because i the old thing scared children just : to look at her and she had even given one of her own daughters 1 consumption by putting a wish on 1 her. Mom was all beside herself. She was afraid Tommy might go into spasms if he saw the old hag but she couldn’t go on the other side of the street because they said Mrs. Davis did that once and Ole Liz put a wish on her and that was why her Benny wasn't bright. So Mom did all she could do which was to keep on going as though nothing was happening and keep on praying to God that the devil couldn't hurt her son. If this old witch did anything to her Tommy, Mom thought, she would kill her; the town would be well rid of her anyhow with all the things she did, even helping to get rid of babies; but the truth was, Mom was afraid of Ole Liz herself. She was stopping them; her teeth, or what was left of them, were like tobacco sticks because she rubbed snuff and it was dripping down her mouth; and her face was like a dried up cat’s and her eyes like something Mom couldn't think of. She put her head down to the buggy and pointed her long claws at the baby. Mom just stood there stiff, sure that the old hardscrabble was putting the evil eye on her son. Her blood ran cold and she waited for Tommy to start crying; when he didn’t she thought, no wonder, he’s too scared to cry and that starts spasms; she brought herself to look. Tommy was laughing! Mom couldn’t believe her eyes. I Tommy was noticing the old thing.

He even liked her. Mom didn’t ! know what to make of it except—the thought almost killed her—that the witch was putting a, spell on I Tommy so that he would like her instead of his own mother. Mom was just going to tell her to get away when the old woman turned and started to cackle; her face was more like a human’s and her eyes didn’t look like the devil’s any more. “He’s a brave young’un,” Ole Liz cackled and shook her head. “I put ] a wish on him.” “No,” Mom called, terrified, “no—” But the old woman put her hand ' on Mom and said: “Don’t you worry, honey, it’s a good wish. He's ! the fust white baby ever smile t< Granny.” And the way she looked then. Mom could never fear her after , that. If anybody had ever told Mom 1 she could have Ole Liz touch her j and live through it Mom wouldn’t ■ have believed them; but there she was, pushing Tommy down the ] street as though nothing had hap pened. Well, it was a funny world some people did say the old thing had a good heart if you didn’t cros her. But Mom didn’t say anything t< anybody about the wish. Pop wou!< be after her for it and be talking about killing the old woman but it would just be talk; and the neigh bor ladies would never believe it was a good wish but would swear it was a had wish. It wasn’t good for children pe<> pie said Ole Liz had put a wish on people would watch them all theii ' lives and always expect something ! to happen to them. There was Dave I Ayers, killed on the railroad twenty-two years to the day after ! the old witch had put a wish on him because his mother had called her what she was.

Henrietta Wilder, Executrix | Fruehle I merer, MD«Amr. 25, H>33 Aug. itS-Sept. !-»_ SYNOPSIS Tommy Randolph, future football | hero, »as “always different" even ' as a baby. Born in a tiny Middle West factory town, he was the deI light of his humble parents. Mom and Pop. The latter, a durable Democrat, wanted to name the boy William Jennings Bryan, but Uncle Louie, another indubitable Democrat, prevailed in having the infant christened Thomas Jefferson. Star- ! dy little Tommy paid no attention to strange baby carriage Ogiers until Ole Lize. feared and aged colored woman, peered like a witch at him one day; he smiled, and Mom was amazed when the ling crone put “a good wish" on him.... CHAPTER TWO But Mom never forgot that good wish: and when Tommy was growing up she knew it was a good wish because the way things happened. He was always the same, never afraid of things kids were supposed to be afraid of; always getting his way and being the head of things; and when Ole Liz came along the street he would never run like the rest of the kids, even Pete, and keep his hand over his mouth like they did. The saying was that she counted their teeth and as many as she counted would fall out before long; of course, little children lost their baby teeth anyhow but just the same there was hardly anybody in Athens, big or little, who didn’t shut their mouth when Ole Liz came along. But the first time Tommy just stood his ground and waited; and when she came by he called out: "Boogy!” Mom was afraid to look then because that was crossing the old thing; but instead of putting a bad wish on him, she just shook her Jiead from side to side and smiled; and then Tommy smiled too; and after that when she came along and the other kids would run Tommy would walk beside her and smile; he never called her “boogy” any more. None of the other kids could make it out; they always looked at Tommy’s teeth afterward; and Mom often thought it was from that that Tommy got to be different from the other kids, sort of afraid of nothing and better than the others; sometimes she thought he was afraid but just wouldn’t admit it; she couldn't make it out; neither could the other kids; but Tommy grew up different. Everybody kind of expected him to be doing things always the other kids didn’t. Pop had tried to tame him down but he couldn’t make him cry and Mom finally put her foot down and wouldn’t have any more of Pop’s beating him just to show who was ! boss. Tommy seemed to understand early that Pop was mostly talk and not really a hard man at all; and they sort of reached a confpromise. When Tommy did something Pop put on a big fuss but didn’t lay a hand on him; and then Tommy went on and did as he pleased afterwards. When Tommy finished the grammar grade Pop decided it was time fdr him to go to work and got him a job. Tommy did go down the first night and put in a turn carrying over on the vase shop; but he came home at eleven o’clock with his poor hands burnt with blisters and his poor face burnt red and said they had knocked off for the night; and Mom fed him and put him to bed. At four in the morning Pop came ! home storming and said Tommy had run off and they didn’t have a [ boy in the shop for the second turn; ! he was all for getting Tommy up and lamming him but Mom wouldn’t have it That morning when Tommy got up and Pop was still asleep she spoke to Tommy about it, pretending to be madder

CARD OF THANKS We wish in tills manner to slnj.rely thank nil our friend* and neighbors for their ikindness and assistance during the death of Rich-1 ard Keith Davis. Duvis, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Davis, i Mr and Mrs. S. H. Delllager. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Brown. Woman Mayor Bans Unwrapped Bathing Suits Wildwood, N. J —(y.R>—Mrs. Dor I js W. Bradway, recently appointed mayor of Wildwood, promiaed n' | "new deal" in public affairs and ] i said she would be lenient on the ! liquor question as long as “they I obey the law," but declared she wouldn't stand for unstrapped bathing suits on the street or !beach. In addition to running City Hall from 10 a. m to 6 p. m.. Mrs. Bradway presides over a 10-room house than she was but he always knew how far he could go with her. He was cute about it, she thought afterward. He promised he'd be back in time for work that night; so she put on some extra food and packed his basket along with Pop’s; but when it came time for Pop to go to the factory there was no Tommy; and Pop went away raving, saying he would be shamed at the factory for having such a son. When Tommy came in like a dog that had lost its home. Mom didn’t say what she had intended to but just got out the things on the stove and left him there by himself although it almost broke her heart to do it. Pete was working day turn but he didn’t say much to Tom either. He might have said a lot. Mom thought, because Pete was a great worker. When he finished at the factory he’d usually fool around the garage by the corner and they said already he could take a car apart and put it together again. Mom couldn’t tell whether Pete just gave Tom up as a bad job or what. After supper Tom got dressed and went down town. The little rascal had a girl already. The next morning Pop did wake him up and gave him a lamming but he couldn’t make him cry and Mom didn’t know what to do. She knew Pop was right and that something should be done about Tom before he became a scallywag altogether; but still, she knew Tom was different from the other boys and she couldn’t believe he was really bad or even quite lazy although she admitted he was never the help around the house that Pete was. It was bad enough. Mom thought, but it would have been worse if the neighbors had got hold of it. Mrs. Johnson wasn't so bad but if Mrs. Farrell ever got wind of it it would be all over town. Mrs. Farrell had a boy of her own and she was jealous of Tommy anyhow because he had always been a strapping boy while her Joie was a poor sickly sort of thing who had worn glasses since he was eight and would catch cold if the wind blew on him. Os course the boy couldn’t help that and he was an all right boy, too, and real friendly like; he and Tommy got along all right if his mother stayed out of it Mom finally quieted Pop down; because even though he said he didn't care what the neighbors thought she knew that he did because nobody in town wanted that long tongue of Mrs. Farrell's on i them; and by the time she got through telling it nobody would i ever recognize what had really hapI pened. I And the next day it blew over i anyhow. Tom went out again after i breakfast and came back all exI cited in the afternoon saying he I had a job around the office of the I News. Pop pretended to be scornful . of this, saying that the newspaper > was no good anyhow as it was a i tool of the capitalists and only ' printed a lot of bunk about the . booster clubs and that sort of stuff. The only decent thing about it was ■ the sport page and that had too i much football»and not enough basei ball and fights. Pop was a great one t for Dempsey and Babe. ; But there was really nothing * n:ueh he could do about it as the : job paid more than Tommy could > make at the factory. Pop gave it ‘ up by saying it was a sissy job I with no future to it and that the . men at the factory would wonder ; what kind of a man he was to raise • a son like that; but in his heart i Mom knew he was secretly pleased ; no matter what he said. > Mom saw what was coming next i and she knew what would happen. ; Late in August Tommy began to i talk about going to high school and Pop hit the roof like it was ■ some sort of disgrace to have a son
