nishn that docyment you never did see The
Kernel and / set up all mite long three or fore
mites, but II was nigh about onp0ssbul 10 get IL

Seward would cum in an saw il was too boil
Then Chase he'd cum an say il warn't bold enutf;
an finally telled him TO make il as old Deacon
Grimes did lis oven He wanted TO know how
that was. Wal. telled him it was this way:
The Deacon built oven facn TO the North.
wen one OF his nabors cum along and sei that
wo'd never do, the North wind would blow
rite in the mouth Of the oven. So the old man
turned il round. put the face the South.
Pretty soon another nabor cum along, on sed he,
Deacon il will never do to have that oven face
the South. for there amt any wind so blusterin
as the South wind" So the Deacon turned il
round to the West. Pretty soon "A man cum
along, an ses lie Deacon don't you know that
the worst showers and hurricanes We have always

niger sideways; and those that cant sand that
kin turn IL clear around an then they will see the
nigg.r in the back, but it will be niger all the
timel The Kernel se1 it was tpta idea and
he ment to curry it out. Ii got noi-ej around
that the Kernal WIS comm out with some big

than to do it,
When it got ont that the Kernel had the small

House nigh about deserted. an it seemed like
"A Sunday up ia Maine. The Kernel then set rite

He sell he could alters soon put thing in shape
after the foundashun timbers were laid. An so
he did. When he got il finished he called Sew

Then he sent for Chase an he sed il all rite.
Now, ses l., Kernel, send for a War mmycrat,
an see how he'll like il. Wen sed this. the
Kernel LATED rite out. Ses he. "Majer. YOU re

which was very fierce for bars So one day he
TUX him along in hunt. In the very first fie
the bar bit the dogs tail off an away he run,
yelpin AN barkin like mad, an Josh could never
get hs dog to fife bars after that. Now, il is
just with the War Dimmycrat. They were
very fierce to fife me If ] issued nv emancipa-
