fellers names as it wood be advertiser
fur um fre gratis, for uothiu) and you
see dick who is purity hi strung wood
ent stan still aud here his juanner man
run down in that sorter stile, 50 he jest
pitched inter him and directly the red
begun to spill from both on um, and ses
fellers, how much did them juanuer
fellers give you to 6te fur um and they
both sed nary red, says then quit it
fellcrs as / sed before i seed the red a
cummiu from both on um SO thay quit,
and we got the muse papers to Sc which
Que of um was in the rite aud Will We
was a lookin over um one feller brot
armful of little book lcokiu coucarus
and we begun lookiu over them too,
and we seed names that We node and
some that we didn't no from every part
of the cunpass, and they all serti6ed
that thairs beet and thar was among um
one name that we node for Ne and joe
carried him some Fish to sell to him
since he Signed the Paper, aud he told
US He hadn't no mony and We told him

cent by using juanner aud he must have
some Money but he scd he hadn't bit,
we told him that We wood take Corn but

Eown aud told US that the burned Mig
gers had Killed his last Hog, and he

We looked over all of them little con.
earns and all the muse papers that thay

got rich but Mike said he coodut come
that for people wernt rich that hadn't
no mony for he had been triiug to COL
lect some little debts that was owing to
him and nary cent Good he git; so thar
vas another difficulty, and We had to 90
all over the bisiuess agih, we'll this time
we looked at the purity pictures Of the
houses these Juanner Fellers had built
and all the nice lookin 6xius and We
pode thar was Money some 1har, and
josh said, see thar by golly somebody l
told you SOMEBODY had it; so We conelu-
ded that as nobody in our parts who
used the Juanner was a puttin up niee
6xins, that all thar money was in THAR
Eye ofthe Maginashun aad the gena-
iue simon pure money war in the pock-
cts ofthe Juanuer men, aud We advised
the boys not to 6te about it any more
or to sine any more Papers as it only
made the Juauner higher and the high
or we made it the higher vede have to
pay for it, if We ever got able to use any
more of it So the Meetiu oil broke up
peaceabIe and i Hope the boys will soon
be we'll of their Fite '.s9.ri
