In nv dreem last mite methawt the old
giant Dmocrisy wuz trotted out to be put
in order for the regler four years race. His
old grooms and hackers wuz with him, but
it looked ez tho by common consent they
he'd turned over the keer Nv HIM to moo

George Wilyum Curtis, the eddytur Of
The Moo York Times, and Henry Ward
Beecher, and lot NV fellers from Massa-

and maxim sejestuns ez to wat shood be

George Wilyum looked him all over keer-

'rhe.e's too many spots on him, was

for they knowd the giant better than that,
but cheerfully furnished brushes and con-

and George Wilyum, Mr.. Beecher and the
Massachusetts fellers went at it.
They applied the soap and the hot water
and they scrubbed at tie spots an hour or
two, till they wuz out Nv breath, but it
didn't remove them. In fact the friekshen
made EN- shine out all tine more prominent.
They stopped and gazed at EN-.
"Trooly," said George Wilyum, 81 hev
scrubbed faithfully and hev redoosed the
size Nv the giant a inch, but the spots re-

'Verily," said the Massachusetts fellers,

they are even more disgustinly visible to the
