They wuz convinst and immejitly a
Greeley Club wuz organized. In Gin

I he'd borrowed of Judge Davis commit
tee, and l invested 'em in fifty white
hats NV ancient pattern, expectin to sell
EN- to the Greeley club, witch l intended
70 organize, at say 81 80 each. After
the club wuz organized l stated to EN-
that the yooniform must be the style Nv
dress NV our beloved chief white hat
and the left pantaloon leg on the top Nv
the boot leg, und that l he'd sekoored
white hats enuff to supply the club
Here difficulty okkurred. In the
whole party there wuzn't pair Nv pan
falcons witch wuznt worn off at least
three inches above where boot-toE
wood be, and it bein warm weather the
aujence wnz all barefooted However
they took the hats readily, and | sta
shened myself at the table to receive
the cash for EN-. A profit NV fifty dol
lars wuzn't so bad Alas how human
hopes are blighted Bascom sed he'c
take them hats, collect the money for en-
and credit me on account and he die
it. I didn't git a dollar Nv it.
| swallowed it ez best | mite, for i
amt no good to make row about it
No one in the Corners kin oppose Bas
com, for he hez all the likker there IL
But we had jollifcashen over the or
ganizashen. 1t wuz cheerin site t.
see fifty men all in Greeley white hat
drinkin the health Nv the great Horri
in Bascom's new whisky! 1t wuz
cheerin site to see the zeal witch the ad
mirers Nv the white-coated philanthro
pist, all in white hats, went for sicl
niggers ez they found in the streets tina
mite l don't despair Nv seein niggar
logged under them white hats.
