Jennie has cut iier thumb.
I have seen rubber bound and cats
Jump but not like Henry did the Other
night when the door opened.
There is man in our town who
is awful bold and queer, and every
time he gets chance he takes glass
of beer, and then he'd sing, for lager
beer long have sought and mourned
because my money played out, and
then he would sigh and shed tear
and say to the clerk set up the beer
aud il Bill don't pay neither will /.
But the beer [ must have for l am
awful dry. Oh no says a voice from
behind the bar you can have no more
beer but take cigar and then he left
saying am no fool my name is Bird.
That was q snide got off on us
from that garulous young Waterman,
it is too preposterous for serious con-
temptation. Watchman 1 think you
had better take dose of worm wood
rhubarb and some EPSON salts, prcllaps
it may set you in your right mind.

right hand a bunch Of tickets and in
his left list of officers to be elected
and he took from his pocket pencil
and scratched out the name of Trum-
bull saying l have the power to run
this election. And he spake again
saying to all rich and poor free and
bound to receive the name of their
party in their right hand and to make
an image of him that spake (a big
calf and that the image should speak
and cause that as many as would not
vote for him should be killed politi-
