A Dutc Inn ans Complaint.

| dinks much about de war und de draft, und
de rebils, und all about desc dugs. dinks
about EN- more as about anydng else. Some
times | sets mits myself all day on de front stoop,
und schInoAes, und drinks hard cider, and does
noting else C,ly drink den nv wife she cifs me
de tyful for drinkin SO much und ses I-vos peter
90 und see after Jacop, our hired man, und not
bo 1der my head init more as can understand.
But tells her vat vomens no about var? peter
she goes md mindts her own pisseness. l drub-
bles myself more about Abraham as about Ja-
cop.
Ven gets tired nit dr:nkin on my own stoop
/ goes down to Hans Butterfoo's tavern und
dr. AXIS dere. und tells my obinion, und some
oder Won tells his o5inion, und we makes him
out togedder. De Older day begins de draft
Dat bodder me agin. Some goes in for de draft
mostly dem is to ot, and Won't be took DEM
self some goes agn dc draft und some don't
know vich way to goes, but only goes roundt
und roundt, und gets boddered like dam as
do
But, ncfer mind, dinks I must find dis ding
out, und down goes to Hans Butterfoo's und
hears de f.llers bio | don't make notin nit
dat dey all bios some oder way, und | don't
dnk dey hcf him rite in der mindts. So I
begins und asks Il questchun und ses to Bill
p u!fen shtoek
"Vot you dinks von de draft dat 1t is rght?'
And ses Bill "No, dinks ct amt right"
Veil, don't believes him, cause he sheated
me vonce mid plind mare he sells on me. So
dries agin and shpeaks nit Fritz Hoekenshpli-
Fritz, ses. "yot do you dnks Won do
draft, eff it is right or not?'
And Fritz. he ses, dat he d" Dinks 1t i. shust
so as it ought to be-.
BIT don't believes him neder, cause he'd
run d agin me last year for de peace of shustce,
und dey make him de peace-iat ish de shuStice.
und he ish no more good for sbquire as my old
cat. So gives up askin somebody, and makes
him out myself. | dnks in dis shtyle de reason
dey go init de draft, ish becos dey want sojers.
Eff dey don't git sojers den dey can't bring
on de war. Ef dey don't bring de war den dey
don lick de rebils. Eff dey don't lcks de rebils,
den de rebils lick dem. Ef de rebls lick dem
den we all go to ter tuyful Dat pooty straight.
SO much.
Now must dink of some more vat is de mex
ting? l dinks dat all right; but now shtops,
somedng else comes doe. Let me sees. Oh,
yah dry hundred dollars-dey all bio about dat
dinks so myself. Dry hundred dollars don't
lick de rebs no more as dry hundred cents
Vots de goot NIT dollars ? Peter good shmart
sojer like my Shorge, he licks de rebils more as
six hundred doll ,rs. yes. Now knows more as
Bill Puffcnshtock und Fritz Hookenshpcer, both
togedder. We want de sojers, not de money
Dlt's where de bodder is. We putty soon has
money enuf but paper sojers is only goot mid
wooden guns, so ven de draft comes und ven
men ses here is dry hundred dollars. / shtays
behinAt and don t fight de rebils, den if vas dc
draft takes dat by de breeches und ses
go to de tyful NIT your dollars und come along
nit me like some oder man as has got no dollars
und don't like to go soerin SO bad as not you
do. den pretty soon | gifts so much as wants,
dat's my idears. tells my olt woman if dev
drafts me goes myself. To be | don't
dinIl dcy will, csus is more as fifty years but
nefer mind. l should go long while. like my
Shorge, only dcre's dings don't like one is
de marshin uud dc udder is 6tin. l sooner
marches down to Hans Butterfoo's und fights
dcre. Eff Shelf Davis comes dere on me, gifs
him dam, you peter believe :. but if | goes to
Richmond, may be Shelf Davis he gifts me dam.
De oder day, my Shorge comes back with fur
low. lie is SO mach corporal as ever he vas,
und shpeaks mid him about desc dings, und
giis you now vat he seS
" Shorge, you We been nit de rebils und NIT
de army, und nit oil Abe und desc fellers, yot
YOU dinks Won dis draft vot all de boobies bios
about? ~
| Und he ses to me: % Oh tunder."
Veil, dat's his opinion May be he shall know
somcding do. He's pretty shmart since be goes
for soier lie swears like man six foot high,
und calls mudder - olt woman" und he calls
me cap," und he kisses de gals, und he calli
Jacop d an iool.' dinks be gets some high
