In the meantime, get off and take suthin-

These few remarks of Bascom's wus hail
ed with satisfaction. Ez one man the entire
crowd moved into his place, and as one man
they all asswaged their thirst. Bascom can
move the Corners quicker than any man in

The next mite it wuz desided to hev rati-

in front of Bascoms, and the impushent
crowd called upon me to give an account of
my stewardship.
