| Oh the dorgs! the dorgs! the butte.
full dorgs hev at last satisfied my.
self that we hev at least IL or differ.
ent kinds of dorgs.
People, in sum respecks resemble
dorgs. Emmy man who lies close tide
by his safe and bonds, reminds me CT a
Nufoundland dorg; tina ar gud watch
dorgs. Sum men are like onto Bull
dorgs. Tha never will let go when onst
they git gud holt, unless yu thro wa.
ter onto them, and then, yu can here
thare jaws crack. Coach dorgs are pur-
ty speckled fellers; sum people are in
substance like onto the coach dorg;
they are purity and speckled and luv to
ride in fine coaches at others peoples
expense. Sum are like onto Settlers;
tina are always settin about taverns
and grOserys; tina never flush emmy
thing. Pointers are always reddy to
point out other peoples faults; tha
point both ways-backards as well as
forerds, and won't quit sumtimez when
you want them to. Shepherd dorgs
ar useful to hev about; so are sum peo-
pie; if you give them piece Ov bred
with butter onto it, and pat them onto
the he'd Onst in Il while, tina will
bust thareselvs to waite on you;
they don't ask emmy other pay.
A good Shepherd dorg will tum-
bic down onto the grave of
his ded master and grieve hisself to
deth; sum women will do the same;
tha think more of thare husbands after
aeth. Spaniel dorgs are always reddy
to plunge where no other man nor dorg
kin plunge, and do sumthin fur furst
klass puff in sum kountry nusepaper;
they sumtimez git sed puff. Poodle
dorgs remind me Nv sum yung ladies;
they are fit only to be nussed, and
washed, and kombed, and kurled. and
powdered, and dressed, and led along
the, streats for kountry folks to look at
and NJ York bummerZ to admire. If
man is out of biznes he ort to endevor
to kort and marry or 2 oy this kind;
'biznes naturally fOllers. Rat dorgs ar
very mutch like onto Judges of Kourts;
tina will often take CRATE pride in kill
ing rats after sumbody else ketches
them and hands EN- over; the town
is full Ov these dorgs; keteh rat in a
trap, tote it out into the streat, give
or whissels, and tina kun, tina KUN;
tina KUN frum houses, they KUN frum
winGers, and sellerz and streets and al
leys, and stores, and look every wa
and you see rat dorgs; tina KUN rum
ming, boys and dorgs about i'm ekwal
numberz; the lid is lifted, and the phun
beginz. Trap, boyz, dorgs, klubs, stunz,
and rat run all over each other, black
ise, dorg fites, boy fiite, rat down in
seller in hole, skared sum, but not
hurt; said man sot his trap again. Dorgs
are skarse this year. / herd man say
his kOw shed blowed down and killed
all his dorgs but 13; sed Is and kow
must take the storm ez it kums till sed
,hed kin be rebilt. Yaller dorgs ar too
mean to menshun. Some folks say
1orgs ar sagashus; we think thare ar
more sagashuser things than dorgs. l
znu man onst who had gud dOrg;
ne wanted to butefy his dorgs COM
)lexion; he poured kole oil all over him
md fetched match onto it; that dorg
made strate fur ha stack. and went
lnder without della; said dorg stade .
hare, althO the man whisseled two or
hree different timez fur him to KUN
rom under; he was like the boy who
TODD onto the burnin Geck-he wudent
rum; the man didn't sell that stack at
"a per tun-in the medder-part
.lover.
