acktiily astowndin. You step rite outer the
city limicks inter Prooshy, and Handover, and
the Dntcheys of Brandybur and Baden, and
the hull German confederashin. It's eenamost
as bad as sum of the townships in Pennsiyany,
whar all hans is Dutch. The Irish is nowhars
in caparison. The Smashwangers and Swack-
hammers is carryin all before EN- with thar log

was rich and Gurus to see the German infans a
layiu on the grass with thar littul round starns
exposed, suckin away at the sassengersj jest
as eff they was banannys. The pashinit attach
ment of the Germans of all ages to hog meet is
a remarkabul trate in the nashinal karrickter.
