I hope, Tom, he doesn't just step over it, and never bother to pick it up." "We've got to take our chance of that happening," he was told; "but we know how nearly every boy would act. Besides, scraps of paper have begun to seem worth something in Dock's eyes lately. The chances are three to one he'll get it."
Those who are interested in the facts relating to social diseases which point to the need of sex-education as one method of prevention, are referred to the pamphlets published by the American Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis; Morrow's "Social Diseases and Marriage"; Creighton's "The Social Disease and How to Fight It"; Dock's "Hygiene and Morality"; Henderson's "Education with Reference to Sex"; and certain chapters in Warbasse's "Medical Sociology."
Tom felt wonderfully relieved. He knew that Carl was capable of great things if only he succeeded in conquering his one little failing of seeing the gloomy side of passing events. "Well, here we are at Dock's place. It's not a particularly lovely home for any fellow, is it?
Along in the summer of '78 the fever broke out down South, 'nd one day Dock made up his mind that as bizness wuzn't none too good at home he'd go down South 'nd see what he could do there. That wuz jest like one of Dock's fool notions, we all said. But he went. In about six weeks along come a telegraph sayin' that Dock wuz dead, he'd died uv the fever.
"No, we're being towed." "Towed! Towed!" exclaimed Smith in a weak voice. "What's towing us?" "We don't know, sor," replied a cockney. There was a silence in which Caradoc stood tall and cadaverous as a ghost. "Am I dreaming this, Madden?" he muttered finally. "Did you say we were being towed?" "That's right." "What's towing us not not the dry dock don't say the dry dock's towing us!"
After the pill gits into his system it will explode in about ten minnits, 'nd then the boy will feel better." This wuz cheerful news for the boy. No human power c'u'd ha' got that pill into Sam. We never solicited Dock's perfeshional services ag'in. One time Dock 'nd Lem Thompson drove over to Knoxville to help Dock Parsons cut a man's leg off.
The minister went up to the homestead 'nd broke the news gentle like to Dock's mother; but, bless you! she didn't believe it she wouldn't believe it. She said it wuz one uv Dock's jokes; she didn't blame him, nuther it wuz her fault, she allowed, that Dock wuz allus that way about makin' fun uv life 'nd death.
Worse, that men who had gleaned should be permitted to smother such precious knowledge in the stupefying fumes of whiskey. If he could only have appropriated Dock's brain along with his medicines, he might have been in camp by now, ministering to Patsy before it was too late to do anything.
When he had lain quiet for a moment, he turned to one of us and said: "Dock, I'm goin' up and dive off that stump a back flip-flop you dassent!" Pretty soon he seemed to come up snuffing and blowing and grinning and said, "Last man dressed got to chaw beef." Then he cried: "Dock's it Dock's it; catch 'im, hold him there he goes duck him, strip him. O well, let him go if he's go'n' to cry.
But if he could read well before school was out, the scholars, at the bidding of the master, called out, "Industrious!" and then his name was rubbed off the board. The funniest of Dock's rewards was that which he gave to those who made no mistake in their lessons. He marked a large O with chalk on the hand of the perfect scholar.
