more money, he biZe other, and girls, TOO.
And when there is frost everybody takes their
skates and goes and stands around pond a
waItin for 1t to be ice and git drownded. Well,
once there was ole man cryn' like his heart
was busted. and the docktor he come, and he
said the docktor did, 'Wot is the matter? Take
a pill Then the ole man, he said No, it is

Take two pills. But the old teler he shuke
his head, sayin, 1T amt that: wot ails me is
blasted hopes and wasted opportunities and
the dockter said, oh, that's it! Then you
must have exercise; git pair of skates at
once Wen the dOkter had said that the ole
man he stude up and luked at the dokter and
said, away! you have come to toni me, Coz
it's them skates that has done it, Wen | was
