a hunch that you'll wish we had been plowing corn, too."

Mickey.
"What things?" queried Douglas.
"Oh about who's going to get the axe next!" said Mickey.
"But what of that?" asked Douglas.
"Why it might be somebody you know!" he cried. "When you find these wrong
entries you can't tell who made them."
"I know that the man who made them deserves what he gets," said Douglas.
"Yes, I guess he does," agreed Mickey. "Well go on! But when I grow up I'm
going to plow corn."
"What about the poetry?" queried Douglas.
"They go together fine," explained Mickey. "When the book is finished, I'd
like clover on the cover better than the cow; but if Lily wants the live
stock it goes!"
"Of course," assented Douglas. "But when she sees a real cow she may
change her mind."
"Right in style! Ladies do it often," conceded Mickey.
