His Lack of Judgment

"Bud Buckover hain’t got no sense worth mentioning,” said a citizen of Sandy Mush. "Tuther evening he got into a fuss with his wife, and b’cua suthin’ or nuther didn’t suit him, he began to yell and slash around with his revolver. Then he boolged out off the door and fired his gun in the air. Prob’ly he figgered his wife would! think he’d shot himself, and be sorry. But, about that time, Hamp Sockery came in at the gate and, macher’ly s’posing Bud was shooting at him. pulled his gun and let drive, and shot Bud through the shoulder. If Bud had had any sense he’d a-recollected hat a family row is like the feller said off charity—lt begins at home, and ort tostay there.” —Kansas City Star.
