Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 289, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 December 1915 — He Was a Boy Himself. [ARTICLE]

He Was a Boy Himself.

“No,” said Uncle Fogy to a group of urchins. “I am not going to walk through your game of marbles, but around it. I was once a boy myself and know how you feel about IL I am not going to pat any of you on the head and prognosticate that you will be president Borne day. I was once a boy myself and still remember how tired I got of philanthropic old goops patting me on the bead. On the other hand, you young varmints are not going to lam me in the back with a dornick when I start on my way, as. having once been a boy myself, I shrewdly suspect you intend to do. or I’ll wrap my faithful hickory around you about twice apiece. Haur-raump! ” —Kansas City Star.
