John Hay was sure to come, out ahead from two to five answers, some times more, causing those of his com rades Who were always behind him to regard him with envy, ' ' 0 ' t Consequently when some of , those boys heard that John had to wash dishes and do the churning for his mother andl more than all, that he wore an apron while at these duties his jealous com rades fairly crowed. ; ; jpne morning it was agreed, by his comrades to get him ont of doors while he had his apron on and humiliate him by having two or three girls whom he rather liked ask him questions in re gard to his housework. Young Bay came out to where the boys were and answered the questions by saying that': he washed dishes as his mother taught him. and then, with twinkling eyes, he gave the dishpan which he had with him a tremendous fling, contents and all, drenching who ever happened to be near enough, and. laughing loudly, ran into the kitchen Bay and his big apron were never mo lested after that.
