THE ELEFINT.


when the mite appintid fur the arivul
NV the thing kane, thur wus menny
intendin to go, our umbul self amung
uthurs. Wei, we went. When we
got too the top NV the steps at
NikoIs hall we were hawlted by a
man who desired tickets this man
pintid US too anuther man who sole
tikkits fur mummy. Wei we got wun
fur haf-ur-doller an went in, givin
at the saim time the afosed tikkit tn
the man at the dore.
When we enturd Their was but flu
individuals present, but the hall wus
sune filled with ladys' an gents, bois
an gurIs. Wei, the thing begun by
man ov a youthful appereans pullin
ont a stoppur frum thing between
the size NV han organ or a pianny,
an heyin begun too turn a crank too
the saim, a kind nv musk ishued
tharfrum, witch had a sown betwene
the grunt ny a hog an the sqaeekin
Nv pig. This thing kept up til
abowt ate urclock when the thing
stopped grumblin an man stepped
up an sed, that az Dokter jams had
disappointed UNI tur mite, he wood
begleev tn intrurduce Mr.. Boldun teo
the audyunce. Il furgot too mem
ton, that preevyus too the opun ov
1.-THE pannerammer, the little boys in
the audydncc maid sum fuss bi stom-
pin on the fore with Their shoes eight
or ten times, an whistlin out iowd,
on this Mr.. Boldun wawkd frum the
dore tn the han origin sevrul times
durin the afosed operation.) Mr..
BoIdun boud tn US al, an sed he was
quite unurkustumd tn lektyrin, but
az the Dokter wusn't thar he'd doc
the best he kood. Wun wiked har-
ted man jist burhine me sed, "we're
takun in now, III bet yer" The
man TUX up peece Nv paper from
the han origin an TUX up stick with
ur pr;ttanyur he'd from the same
thing, when the kurtin wuz pulled
bakards, an the piktur rolled burfore
US. (NOTE, we won't tri tn explane
all the pikturs, az tina were tu nu-
murus, we wull onli motifs the more
konspikyus NV um.)
At the saim time the pictur rold
burfore us, the man begun tn read
the papur an unce or twic pintid at
the piktur with his silk. The piktur
lookd tn me like it had jist kun out
NV err storm an all the uthurs we saw
wus dittoe. Hit wood NV dun bettur
however, CT we kud hav had emmy
explanashun NV the things we saw,
but the man az afosed, wus a yooth-
full wun an like most youthful uns he
kultivatid mustase witch inturfyerd
with the SCUM ov his voys, an the fax
il don't believe he kud reed mulch
ennyhow. But kud er stud al this
eff long-leggid man hadn't err blowd
owt al the lights but wun fur the
man to see how to CRIME the han origin
with an one tn let the uthur un see
how ter konfusesus more cffektually
bi humblin owt the afosed papur,
thus i was consequently put of in
tirely almost frum the exkwisit pies
yure uf lookin at the gals, so the
hole thing wus dull, an in fax the man
let sevrul pikturs pas bi without a
wurd sed, bekause he coodn't reed
the ritin that wus writ on the papur
Attur an inturmishun NV ten min
nuts, durin which time thur seemed
tn be fore niggers putin up anuthcr
rag, the man hit little bell an the
othurn puIId the kurtin ball wen sum
more hard run pikturs isued 4th, an
the han origin begun to CRIME an the
man tn mumbul, an the peepul tn
look at the fine niggurs, knossira, ell
lyfnts an big balloons.
hav this to say, that eff Living
stun was foolish enuf tn git intur all
than slrapes Boldun toled us he did,
that he ought tn be pityd.
Thur wus wun piktur or too witch
attrakted sum attenshun, wun was
butowan elefnt beseeged by nativs
with arrers an stitch weepins while
the animule wus struggin owt NV
mud puddul. This piktur hav seen
in Mitchuls jografy in descripsun
NV Oceaniky. But i must klose be
70 i weary the printurs, the publish
urs an the reeders, if hav emmy.
The las piktur that kun frum be,
hine the kurtin wus the piktur NV
bibul, a silk, plate an a fether fall
ing doun intur ur gully, an then the
bell struk an the kurtin wus pulled
turgether an the Boldun said he wus
thankful fur the attcnsun Nv his aw-
dyince an that the afosed piktur
klozd the purfurmunce, when the
audyunce got home as quik as pos
surbul.
Thus did see the eletint an long
will remembur Boldun an bis han
origin an SLED rags. Prayin all hans
too exkuse bad ritin an spelin close.
