The boy is hilarious; master of the situation, he pulls on the string and dances with delight. It is too good to last. The old man puts off toward the house, his arms beating in the air like the armi of a selfraking reaper in motion. Johnny has his. laugh, and follows in time to run over to the for arnica and barb-horn. Thos®rweeds went to seed, but Unde Smith never knew what made the bees get so mad.— Courier Journal
