truth we have had another OF them pesky
hoodoos at our house tor the purpose OF

Since the ruction Was over I've been most
" engaged in thinking about 1t.
Our home paper gave rs good nouee
and said il was success; also that every
one present enjoyed highly. Ii alluded 70
me as q genial cuss, or words to that effect,
and said your mother was the lite OF the
party, She was.
IA you could have saw Jour mother,
Henry YOUR own mother, prsneing around
there with her No. front hair tossed too
and fro in q dishevellsd state and down
ing the old peHcnas Of our thriving town to
the TINA of twenty-five cents and upwards,
YOU would have said also that verify she
was

is embittsring my declining years, Henry.
Zeal and skin games .and raiiss and tee
hee bee and twenty-five cents please and
the whole confidence game has made me
premsturely sour.
