johnny's black face One time I came home and the house was full of smoke; the kids faces were black and Johnny face was black. John and some friends had broken into a summer home and taken an old musket gun, the kind that you put powder in. Well Johnny tried it but did not do it right and it backfired in the house, he had to help me wash the walls all down. The owner of the gun and the sheriff came for the gun and was going to take Johnny to the reform school, but I talked them out of it.
Johnny could not get along with his teachers, one day he came home and told me he would wash the dishes all the time if I would not send him to school. I found out later that he had been expelled from school. So he was sent to my brother Don to finish school.
