Ann took a cup of coffee upstairs, grumbling about the Pentagon and Johnson's war. Willow began pricing cans of delicacies. Stocking was easy; it was the little price stickers that slowed her down. She was in the back room, looking down into a carton, when a voice called out, "Anybody home?" She saw a familiar head of red hair. Patrick, she realized as she came to the front of the store.
The sevens and nines of the multiplication table are the stickers, but you ought to do them if other girls can. You needn't feel bad because you are behind a little to start on; you are just that much better prepared to work, and you can soon overtake them. You know a lot none of the rest of us do, and some day it will come your turn to show off. Cheer up, you'll be all right."
"If I had your brass, Raish," he observed, calmly, "I'd sell it to the junk man and get rich. Well, maybe I won't have so many stickers, as you call 'em, if that little critter comes here often. What's the matter with him; soft in the head?" "Isn't this his hat the one he wore when he came in here?" queried Mrs. Jubal Doane, one of the two customers. Mr. Beebe picked it up. "Guess so," he replied.
You remember the man who at breakfast said: "Waiter, bring me about ten grains of oatmeal, and put stickers on it so that it will stay down; and say, waiter, please look as pleasant as possible, for I feel like h l." Well, that's how a person's stomach gets some mornings.
"Beware of the gallery," says a fellow serf to us, "there's a minister browsing around up there." The official servants of the Lord fall, in the book clerk's mind, into that class technically described by him as "stickers." All gentlemen wearing high hats also belong to this classification.
"Well, we wuz late in startin' back, anyhow, and then I had to stop fer an hour pickin' cactus thorns outta an old-maid female." "Mule unload her in a patch, or did she sit down on one?" Ed was interested. "Naw, didn't do neither one. She tried to eat a prickly pear offa bush of cactus, and got her tongue full uv stickers.
"I know another lady who has difficulty in that direction," said Mr. Maynard, smiling. "Yes, but Glad is different. She can spell the spelling-book stickers, 'embarrassed, and 'cleemosynary, and such words, 'cause she studies them; and then she'll misspell simple every-day words. Now, you see." Mr. Maynard smiled a little as he read the letter. Los Angeles, Cal.
On the dike they spent some time looking at the gaps and listening to explanations of how the river worked to undermine and how it had been checked. Watchers hooded in yellow stickers patrolled the narrow jetties or, motionless, studied the eddies boiling at their feet. Returning, the party walked around the edge of the camp where cooks were busy about steaming kettles.
We wound in and out along the tortuous path, and it was also torture-ous, for the thorn bushes scratched our hands and faces and even sent their stickers through the cloth into our knees. The effect on the barelegged porters was doubtless much worse. After a couple of hours of marching in those cañons of vegetation we entered the lower edge of the forest and left the underbrush behind.
"Yes, I am going to, but not now, for the porter wishes to make up our beds." "There are stickers in my eyes," said Beth, yawning. "There's one more question I'd like to know about though," she said as they moved across the aisle. "If God can't make mistakes, why does He let it be so easy for folks to?"
