The Affairs Of the City In the Past

reduction of expenditures to a figure
below any previous year. for six years at

replied that Swift's Specific had cured

starting for the Hot Springs in search
of relief, but was persuaded by one of

up to a var ago Prof. johnson
was an active, respected member of
dis club. He was not only a worker
in our cause, but he was industrious
as a man. If he couldn't get work
at dollar an a half day he got it
fur n dollar. If he couldn't hev
roast duck fur Sunday he put up wild
a beef-bone soup. His family had
plenty to eat an to war, an when
rent day cum around he had de cash
ready for his landlord.
"Jist about twelve months back
some white man told de Professor dat
he had just as good a right to pi-
amer, gold watch an span of horses
as a rich man. He was told dat de
aristocracy war coinin' money out of
his labor. He was made to believe
dat de pusson who wouldn't pay two
dollars to hev kitchen ceilin' white
washed was an oppressor. 1t was
pounded into him dat, if he sot OH de
fence all summer an talked agin de
blue-blood of dis kentry, somebody
would furnish him roast turkey all
winter.
"Many of you saw how he was af-
fected. He begun 70 hate honest
work. His mouf began to grow big
ger. While his cloze growed seedy
his Importance growed daily. When
his wood-pile grew low he cussed
Vanderbilt. When his flour bar'l
was empty he reviled Jay Gould.
When his children becum ragged he
ripped at capital. When his wife
becum bar'fut he swore at de aristoc-
racy. When his landlord bounced
him for non-payment of rent he
howled an raved about oppressors
an tyrants.
"De climax cum las mite. | heard
dat he had bin boastin dat de rich
must divide wild him, an concluded
to watch my hen-coop. About 'leben
o'clock de Professor showed up. l
had twenty-five choice hens. He had
none. He was gwine to divide wild
me an take 'leben. My frens, l can't
'zactly describe what happened arter

went away empty-handed, limpin',
