"Yes," sez Phila, "and though she worships him, she had rather any day play the part of Mary than of Martha she had rather be sittin' at his feet and learnin' of him than cookin' good nourishin' food and makin' a clean, sweet home for him. But he don't complain." "What a companion Waitstill would be for him?" I sez agin.

His ways and city folks' ways ain't alike. An' there's the boy, an' what he's done; all the school learnin' in the world ain't goin' to pay for such a shame.

Them Dennison boys is pretty slow at learnin'." The young man intimated that he thought he was equal to it. "Well, we'll see," grunted the old fellow, with something very like a twinkle in his deep eyes. "Not as they'll do you any harm without you undertake to interfere with them," he drawled.

But not till three days ago I didn't never git no chancet to go to one. "That gentleman yonder Mister Sublette he 'lowed jest now that I was leadin' a lot of little boys in this here town into bad habits. He said that I was learnin' 'em nobody knowed whut devilment.

Came, through whom all information was sure to filter if you gave it time, that her husband despised a coward, that he considered Elisha a regular mother's-apron-string boy, and that he was "learnin'" him to be brave. Bill Peters, the hired man, now drove Buttercup to pasture, though whenever Mr. Came went to Moderation or Bonnie Eagle, as he often did, Mrs.

Another thing that people won't stand for is showin' off your learnin'. That's just puttin' on style in another way. If you're makin' speeches in a campaign, talk the language the people talk. Don't try to show how the situation is by quotin' Shakespeare. Shakespeare was all right in his way, but he didn't know anything about Fifteenth District politics.

"You seem to be, Seth," she answered, "just now." "I am. I've been a consider'ble spell learnin' how to be, but I've learned. You trot right along."

He made a movement of his head in the direction of Ailesworth. "Not as she was difficult," he went on thoughtfully. "She used to say 'I mussent get 'abits, George.
