‘over the mow ecagy”

Pete Svensen-. says Old
Mac has died an we feel
perty bad because we has all
bin good friends fer near 50
years.

Pete says Oid Mac an the >
Missus had the only perfect
solution fer a happy marriage~
he ever heard of.

After 20 years, he says,
they found they had just.
about talked things out. Mac —
would set on the porch
smoking his pipe an Missus.
Mac would do her knitten an
once in awhile they would’
think of somethin’ to say an
then find they had said her
before. —-

What finished her off, says.’
Pete, was the election in ‘47,
-er mebbe it was ‘48. They got .
to fightin’ an cussin’ an they .

didn’t find out who won fer a .

_ week, because Old Mac flang. -
the radio through the window
an took off into the little
cabin out back with a sack of
beans, a side of bacon from
the smokehouse an some -
books.

_ It was real peaceful out
there, says Pete, an perty

soon Old Mac started think- . §

in’ of things they hadn’t said.
an he writ them down an he
had a whole heap of them
when there was a knock at
the door. —

There was nothin’: there
when Mac opened it, except.
an apple pie leakin’ juice all .
over the porch, says Pete, an-
Mac an Mac an the Missus |
set on the front porch

_ watchin’ the sun go down.
over the Shelford Hills. an
they et apple pie and runned
through the list an then they |
did her again:

That fixed her ‘up fer.
another 20 years er so, says *
Pete. Sometimes Old ..Mac..
would rise up in the morning:
an the beans would be settin
on the kitchen ‘table’ an. Mac:
would know it was time to po.

When thie ‘applie pie’ ‘was
on the porch, it was time to
come back. ;

Well sir, says Pete, Missus
Mac swolled with arthritis an
Old Mac would have to. hoist
her from the chair when she
couldn't rise up. On t’other
hand, Mac was so stiffened
in the back, the Missus
would have to haul him outer
bed an straighten him out.

So Mac strung a rope from
the house to the cabin an
hung a cowbell on each end |
so they could call one another |
when they couldn't rise up an
it worked real good fer
another 20 years.

Finally, says Pete, .
Good Lord sent them a

. couple

the.

hippies. When
Missus Mac got some grub
flang into them an cleaned
*em up she could tell one was
a girl an they was usin’ one

sleepin’ bag without being

married. .

- Missus’ Mae” Says “wot the
hell sorta game is this? An -
the girl starts cryin’ an the.
feller says he don’t feel like
Shottin’ : people ‘on’ t’other
side of the world wot he has
-never seen an perty soon
they is all cryin’ and the kids ©
are ‘tellin’ .Missus Mac they
_jest want time to figger it all -
‘out, ‘because the world is

movin’ too fast fer them. .

Missus Mac was brung up
Scotch | Presbyterian,
Pete, an she Bive them hell
and throwed.in some fire.an

brimstone fer good measure.
Old :Mac said it was a real.
treat to -hear somebody else.
