Fscish I,cGs a Pig-Among the dry, quaint

loafer, who had been sleigh-riding and got
"spilt," is inimitable Its mans natur, I be-
lieve and we can't help it no how. AS fur me,
wish was pig-there's some sense in be-
ing pig wot's fat /; pigs don't have to speci-
late and bust-pigs never go sleighing,
quarrel with their dadies-in-law wot was to
be, get into sprees. and make tarnal fools of
themselves. Pigs is decent behaved people
and good citizens, though they ain't got no
vote. And then they havn't got no clothes
to put ON of cold mornings when they get up;
they don't have to be darnin' and pachin'
their own pants; they don't wear old hats
on their heads, nor have TO ask people for
'em-cold whites is plenty for pigs. My
eyes if was a jolly fat pig belonging to
respectable people it would be tanfamount to
nothin' with me who was president. Who
ever seed one pig settin' on cold curb
stone rubin another pigs head wOt got
ehucked out Of a sleigh! Pigs have too much
sense to go a ridin', if so be they can help it.
It's true pigs has their troubles like humans
-constables catches 'em, dogs bites 'em, and
pigs is sometimes almost as done-over suck
ers as men; but pigs never runs their noses
into scrapes, coaxin' themselves to believe it's
fun, as we do. never seed a pig go the
