The Awful Man.

There was a chap hanging around the

wore sOmbrero Of gigantic size, and he
had his pants in his boots. He had
fierce goatee and mustaehe, and his ewes
were as black as midnight
This awful man staggered up and

and swore | made calculation in pen

that he could get away with SIX If u in

For a few seconds the awful man was
stunned at the little mans temerity
Then he rolled his quid over, collected a
monthful of tobacco juice, and deliberate
ly elected it across the little mans boots

before the slim and sickly chap was on

picked out the weapons one by one and
flung them over his head in the grass
