My ion Augustus coons from school and says the Hoggs boy has a Wke, nnd he want, one tlu.l be .-an tool in triumph Up and down the pike My aunt remaiks that Mrs. Jones has bought n poodle just frooi Perth, and she must have a hundred li.ines to buy a pup of equal worth. We watch the neighbors eugb'-eyed, ns (hey wat.-h us. with JeRions mind, and If thov walk In pomp nnd pi Ide, w surely shall not lag behind. And w the money goes for frills and eprlcycucj and furbelows, and when I come to pay the bills, In rivulets riv-ulets th" briny flows. If X were living In a dell, with neighbors many mtlen away. I mlrbt le doing passing well, and saving kopecks every day. But then some other hermit scout might come there and disturb my plan, and I'd go broke, t have no doubt, to make him seem an also ran.
