Gentz: arroved in Cleveland on Saturday 2. NJ.
from Badnsville jest in time to fix myself up and
put on clean billed rag to attend Miss Pckl ehom-

krowds which pored into the hall augur ed well for
the show bisnis & with cheerful sperrets lined the
enthusiastic throng. | asked Mr. Stakhosh at the
door II he parst the perfesson and he sed OF much

pit, and obsarving to Mr. Stakhosh that he needn't
put on so many French airs becawz he run wi tn a
big show, and that he'd better let his weskut out
few inches or perhaps he'd bust hisself some fine
day, went in and squatted down. 1t was
sad thawt to think that in all that
varst aujience Scarcely a Sole had the
honor OF my acquaintance. Il this ere"

shood have gone ralein at Fortin and things sum
more but just then Signer Maccarony cum out and
sang hairey from some opry or other. He had on
his store close looked putty slick. | must saw
Nobody didn't understand nothing abowt what he
sed and so they applawded him versiferusv. Then
Slgner Brignoly cum out and sung another hairey
He appeared to be in a Pensive Mood sung a Luy
song spose, tho he may have been cussin the aui-
ence all into heep for aut knowd Then cum
Mr.. Maccarony agin Miss PickehomOny herself
They sung Dot together.
Now yu know, gentZ that don't admire opry
music. But like Miss Pickehomony's stile /
like her gate. She suits me. There has bin crater
singers and there has bin more boOtiful wimin
put no more fasslnatln young female ever longed
for new gown or side to place her he'd apin vest
pattern than Maria Picklehomony. Fassinatin pc
pie is her best holt. She was born to make hash of
mems buZZums j. other women mad becaWZ they
amt Plcklehomonies. Her face sparkes with anus
in cussedness and about 200 two hundred) little
bit OF funny devils air continually dancin champion
Jgs in her eyes, said eyes bein brite enu to lite
pipe by. How shood like to hav little Maria ont

Good run in the tall grass, wrastle with the bows
cut up strong at parin bees, make up faces behind
the minister's back, tie auction bills to the sk0ol-
masters coattales, set all the felIers crazy after
her, q holler, kick up, go it Jest as much as
she wanted to! But diegres. Every time she
cum canterln out grew more and more delited
with her. When she bowed her head bowed mine
When she powtid her lips powtd mine When
she laried arfed When she jerked her head
back and took lartin survey of the audience
sendin broadside of sassy smiles in among en-
tried to unjint my self kollapSe. When in teln
how she drempt she lived in Marble Halls she sed
1t tckled her more than all the rest to dream she
loved her feller still the same, made effort to
sWaller myself; but when, in the next song she
looked strate at me and called me her Dear |
wildly told the man next to me that he might hav
my close, as L shood never want EN- agin no more
in this world.
In conclusion, Maria, want YOU to do we'll
know you air nice gal at hart l. WI must get
good husband. He must be a man of branes and
gumpshun d good provider-a man who will luv
yu strong and Tonga man who will luv YOU Jest
as much in your old age, when your voice cracked
like an old tea kitte you can't get of your notes

angels in pettycoats I'm always sorry they hain't
got wings so they kin quietly fly off where thav
will be appreshiated. You air a woman, L. a mty
good one too. As for Maccarony, Brignoly, Null
lenholer and them other feers, they can take care
OF themselves. Old Mac kin make comfortable
