sense out-of his name, which hs

the English language. 1 hold we

from what language it came.
have been told it was the Irish for
idiot. If so, won't that knock the
conceit out of Treblig, alias Table
leg. 1t is a word of whose exist
cncc neither Noah nor Daniel Web
ster ever dreamed. 1t is only an
impression that it is Irish. 1t may
be new word born of the lnspira-
ton of those good large birch limbs

Prof. Abernathy. If he is right
and has grown to love whipping

Lindsay on culture ofchildren,"
Watts on the mind" Todd, Way
land, Abercrombie and the thou
sand scholars who have written on
mind culture, will now have to be
rewritten. Treblig, alias Tableleg,
has found that 1t all goes through
the back, well crossed and
furrowed with a stout limb, and not
the head, as these learned doctors
have so long and ably written. He
tells US in his last he is joker.
This accounts for Peck's Bad Boy
not putting in an appearance at Pu
laski. He feared to bring his lesser
light in contact with such lumina-
~. He likes a smart boy but |
dreaded ah eclipse. 4 friend of
mine told me as he passed Prospect
that he saw, many "grinning gullies"
in the old fields and that the sides
of the hills were cracked. Perhaps
these gullies were grinning and the
sides Of the hills split at Treblig's,
alias Tableleg's, jokes. The next
venture we shall look for him to
start rival to the Texas Siftings,
or Puck, or Detroit Free Press,
If there was not so much fun in
him and so little in Cleveland /
should expect that he was going in
the democratic service or in the At
ricaa war, he bids Us so sad and af-
fectiOnate farewell for twelve
months. He seems so 10th to 90.
What will he do for all that good
whipping he loves SO while he is
gone. While you ask for pie, for de
sert he took another course of the
rod. What will your paper do for
joker. The joker-the boss card.
takes all the trix-oVer ace, king or
queen. How sad your readers feel.

1t is reported a drunken passen-

town." and was told it was Proc !
pect. He said, poor Prospect!
~ I'm joker gone 1 feel like sympa-
thizing with the town" Since he
assigns his wonderful attachment
and updying love for Alternately
and gives all the credit to the rod, /
fear that if the wives OF this coun-
try come to realize the suggestion,
husbands will have to stand. In
fact l have heard it whispered that
in some sections the wives are whip
ping their husbands most unmer-
cifully. / am trying to keep the
thing profound secret from my
wife.
Tableleg, alias Treblig, charges
egotism on Lynn as an Offset Of
his name. 1t is a ''you are anoth-
sr" argument. sOf the fact he {
Knows nothing. The face of Lynn
Vile articles deny such charge,
was it worth denying. The pro-
loun is the most hateful letter l ;
ever saw in a report of happenings
and will not occur once a month in
ny writings. Nor have l obtruded
my family happenings on the pub
ic in general article proposing to I
give the general news. 1 have ,
written few articles and give my !
OWE views of things, as l see them.
These articles haze not had any :
reference to happenings here, and :
n them l am free to express myself :
As / plesse. Nor ana 1 anxious as
to the oredulity of your readers. !
As to the hog story 1 never ence ,

Now, Tablelsg, alias Treblig, let's
change that foolish Irish name to a ,
good English word. ! am nat clam I,
oFous for cooper bottom" but !,
then there is an eternal fitness in it.
take your whole article in the
asst issue as the biggest joke you
ever perpetrated, and I poked it
from side to side to get the funny
side and looked at it with micro
scope and the funniest thing is
where you propose to bring in Alb
as proof as how you lean
ed to the rod like sick kitten to a |
not rock. Gcodly, my funny friend;
may you have "luck" with your '
funny paper. Your reputation as q
funny man is already made. G
