To hold that Mr. Samuel J. Til.

that Samuel j. Tilden didn't know
nothin about 'em.

"Nevew, trust me for that" sed
Tilden, "but see that you don't fail,
no matter wat yoor mishuu is. Sue

And Mr.. Tilden winked still more
sollumly with his rite eye. Mr. Til.
den kin wink with either eye.
"Never fear. unkle. never fear oil

Aud be fetched another wink.

And all three nv en- winked at
