none; am At the point where am care
less about consequences; would 40 lievs
die as live, would as lieve lie in prison
as out and don't care 4 d-n for any
man. Like George Francis Train c;sl,
conscientiously say, "old friends he

and on the point of starvation when
my efforts elected him; Mills was $, 1000
worse off than nothing when my efforts
elected him; Dan Rohrer was "'busted''
when he was elected; Town '.busted"
and never paid up; I waded through
storms and snow drifts to elect Shell
and Smith to office; brought ADVANCE
up from pauperlsm to brick block
Now if l will quietly lie down and be
kicked to death by these cusses because
my money is gone it would he nice in
deed. But won't. Down on my back
| with forty-nine dogs and three pups on
top Of me, intend to bite and scratch
all can, and before die will have lots
Of blood sprinklad ;.roun' on the ground
| about me. "Old friends be DID,"
