today at dinnertime, and I proceeded
to get mad. I flung the hammer
down, and I sucked at my finger and
I let a few bellows of wrath that
would have done credit to a wild bull
elephant on the rampage. There
seemed to be a red mist in front of
my eyes, and then as the rage sub
sided, I came to the conclusion that
I must have been mad about'very lit
tle. In all probability the pain lasted
only for a second or two, and my get
ting mad was responsible for the rest
of my torture,
About the most dangerous man I
ever seen angry was my great uncle
Tobias. I can remember just as plain
as anything how he used to Come
stamping in to our place, when all my
relatives would have descended oil us

for a Sunday meal.
Of course now Tobias had a repu
tation that he worked on. You could
just see those spinster aunts of mine
shrivel up as they saw him come into
the room. Then there was my cousin
Jonathan, who married the strong
woman out of a circus and was hen
pecked from the time he said “I do.”
Jonathan always liked to see Tobias
come in. Somehow or other I expect
he envigd1 him for being able to give
vent to his feelings every time he felt
the need for it.
Tobias would come in, and as sure
as Satan he would trip those great
feet of his over the rug or else burn
his fingers with a match, as he tried
to light his pipe. Then there would
; come a strong flash of language that
would make asbestos paper blush in
shame and become scorched. Then he
would smack that hand of his down
on a big knee and start off on a tang
ent to express some pet hate of his.
I think Tobias was among my
most popular uncle. In fact I pick
ed1 up a few fancy adjectives that I
still use when the need arises.
Then, of course, there are other
ways of getting made. Just like the
preacher down at the church when
the collection plate goes around, and
it’s used about as much as a plate
with a quarantine notice for smallpox.
That’s about what you would call
“righteous indignation”.
Then there’s the times when Mrs.
Phil gets angry with me. She takes
a peek over the top of,, her glasses,
and I can see
in her cheeks,
to a few words
ful as they are true. I just slide the
newspaper up in front of my face to
not let her see that it’s taking effect,
and she goes on about her work, just
clucking a little to herself like a set-
tin’ hen that has been frightened off
the nest. After a while she Starts to
talk and' then1 you would never know
that there had been anything wrong
at all.
We have one perpetual grouch
down at the barnyard at Lazy Mead
ows. That’s the Admiral, an old drake
that takes it upon himself to look out
for the fortunes of the duck family.
He’s about fhe grouchiest and grump
iest sort of fellow in the world.
It starts in the morning when he
waddles out and finds that the sun is
shining. About the time that I am
stretching myself full of1 confidence
that this is One day that is going to
be a good one, then the Admiral
comes squawking along, and waddling
down to “where the leak in the water
trough has made a convenient bath
ing place.
Then there’s the collie pup to swear
at, and he always has to have a tilt
with Solomon our old gander. The
feed doesn’t suit him . » . or maybe
he didn’t like the way I tried to push
him around » . . oh well, there s a
good many humans just like him.

have to go. A minute ago I was ready
to declaim all thought of ever getting
