Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1888-05-17

this always when his bile overilows its
banks and when he wants TO quarrel
with some one. but don't feel quite
we'll enough to quarrel with man.
He then congratulates himself on his
success in taking poor. ignorant girl
and making a lady of her, forgetting
how cruel it is to do this in her pres
ence. and in the face of the fact that
she had failed so pitifully in taking him
and making gentleman Of him.
He is the man for Mr.. Berry to use
in his illustrations. He will have no
trouble in securing the consent of the
neighbors or the authorities, and it will
stimulate people to come who do not
generally turn out when there IS
lecture IN town, Thus Mr.. Berry would
make Fl. 200 in few weeks and do
great deal of good beside.
Sometimes when get to thinking
over the misery which is turned loose
upon the community, and especially
upon the families of these men all over
the country can almost feel my whole
being.
As business proposition Mr.. Berry
is doing wisely. perhaps, TO accept
lump sum in coming here. for April is
certainly an uncertain month in which
to lecture here even. though, us Messrs.
Sinclair Il Co. say, with Mr.. Berry at
the helm, as it were there could be no
fear of the success of the undertaking.
Mr.. Berry should not be expected to
furnish anything else beyond his per-
sonal services and his relics. L think
that it would be only fair for the Royal
EXecutioner to furnish his own relics
and press notices. Local committees
are generally willing TO do everything
that is fair and reasonable, but they
will object to the preparation of relics.
Six thousand dollars with hotel expen-
ses, railroad fare. sleeping-car tickets,
clothing and cough medicine for q six
weeks tour. is not high for a man who
holds the exalted and responsible posi-
ton Of Royal Breath Stopper and Neck
Jolter to Her Majesty. provided he
will furnish his own relics and refrain
from writing a book while here.
Professionally of course 1 would say
that Pond ought to give Berry tart
reply, or l would prefer the latter as
IOHdS dstHorunl. or inquire whether
the gentleman alluded to is or is not
the elder Berry. or l might have fun
with him by stating in droll way that
IL POO is not more than would certa n
ly be due Berry, or 1 might take my
life in nv hand and say that Berry and
his undertaking succeed together. But 1
will not take advantage of an English
man who doubtless intends to use these
bon mots in his lecture
In fancy | see Mr.. Berry coming
down TO the Liverpool landingon the
18th of April. followed by his weeping
Sovereign. With her sceptre in one
hand and bottle of lime juice, put up
by her own fair hands. not rs Charles
Mitchell puts up his own fair hands,
but otherwise. Then there is rattle
of deck hands. The hungry sea licks
its foamy jaws and seems 10 reach out
for Berry. Her Majesty suddenly feels
for her crown to see if it is still there,
puts her hat pin further into it and
looks suspiciously at the Prince of
! Wales, who has IL small brickb bat in
one hand, evidently intending to knock
loose the emblem of power when next
Her Majesty looks over the way. Mr..
Berry wrings the hand of his Sovereign
once more, wipes his streaming eyes
on long black cap, which he pulls
from his pocket hy mistake, and which
contains the manuscript of his lecture.
The baggage-master of the boat then
brings Mr. Berry the brasses for his
luggage; in his disengaged hand Mr.
Berry holds small Eastwood scaffold,
carefully concealed in shawl strap.
Looking at his Waterbury death watch.
he sees that it is time to 90 on board.
Hastily accepting the lime juice and n
small India shawl as marks of esteem,
he springs lightly upon the gangplank,
having left copy of his list of one
night towns with Her Majesty and ask
ed her TO write. The breeze springs up
on the jib's quarter aud means through
| the rigging, the anchor is close reefed,
the hold is let go, the topsail halyards
are allowed to remain that way, the
other halyards do as they are taut. the
howsen pipes all hands on deck the
| landlubber takes out q lot of nautical
terms done up in piece of lineoleum,
and examines them. Mr.. Berry puts on
Il new Tam o'Shanter which is the COL
or of hepatized lung, the good ship
| gives a lurch to leeward which causes
Mr.. Berry to feel suddenly for his
stomach. the royal party call cab and
90 back home the conductor saws "All
aboard!" and then the great English
Hangman, the man of short, crisp sem
fences, the facetious choker of Great
Britain is abroad on the breast of tho
pillows, bound for the land where the
poor man gets convicted aud the rich
man gets new trial Bill Nye, in
New Yorh World.
