There was a fellow once who step
ped out of the door of tavern on the
Mississippi, meaning to walk mile up
the shore to the next tavern. Just at
the landing there lay big raft, one of
the old fashioned whalers-a raft
mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord
say the raft was a mile long, and he
said to himself, Il will go further and
see this great wonder, and let my eyes
behold the timber which the hand of
man hath hewn.' So he got on the
lower end and began to ambulate over
the raft in pretty fair time. But just
as he got started the raft started too.
and as he walked up the river it went
down, both going at the same rate
When he got to the end of the sticks
he found they were near shore and in
sight of the tavern so he landed and
walked straight into the bar-rCom he'd
come out of The general samencss OF
things took him little aback, but he
looked the landlord steadily in the face
and settled it in his own way.
Publican said he, 'are you gifted
with a twin brother, who keeps a sim
liar sized tavern, with duplicate wife,
a comporting woodpile, and correspon
ding circus bill, mile from here?'
The tavern keeper was fond of fun,
and accordingly said it was just so.
and publican, have you among your
dry goods for the entertainment of
man and horse, whisky of the same
size as that of your brother's?'
And the tavern man said, from the
rising of the sun even unto the going
down of The same, he had.
They took the drinks, when the
stranger said:
Publican, that twin brother of yours
is a fine young mana very fine man,
indeed. But do you know, I'm afraid
he suffers a good deal with the Chica

life was a mile long. Well, publican,
