L ow Uncle Jerry Went Back on the Crowd


Every boy of us in the village knew
Uncle Jerry Crawford. He was a
dried-up old man, and never seemed to
get any older, although always COM
planning. The form of salutation was
invariably this:
Hello Uncle jerry"
"Yass, yass."
How you feeling?"
"Wretched wretched, thank ye."
I've heard that at least one thousand
times, and never knew a deviation but
once. A drummer who used to come
up occasionally from st. Louis got on
to it, and one day when dozen of us
sat on the steps of the drug store Uncle
Jerry was seen coming up the street.
Isn't that old Crawford ?" asked the
drummer, as he shaded his eyes with
his hand.
"Yes."
Hes the man who always replies
that he's pretty well, praise God 2"
"Oh, no. He is the man who always
replies that he's wretched, wretched
thank ve."

There were seven of us there, and
all we could raise was SIC. We hand

it had been covered when Uncle Jerry
came along. We were on the grin as
the drummer called out:
Hello! Uncle Jerry"
"Yass, yass.
"How you feeling?'
Pretty we'll, praise God!' replied
Uncle Jerry, as he passed on.
1t was about two minutes before we
could get breath, and then the drum
mer had gone with the stakes. An
hour later l asked Uncle Jerry what
he meant by such conduct, and he re-
piled:

Senator Farwell had little joke put
on him not long ago. and though it cost
him 81 bill, he smiled grimly and took
1t all in good part. The Senator has for
years employed certain jeweler to clean

Senator has the fullest confidence in
him. The Senator some time ago took
his watch to Hoefner and was told to
leave it for few days He did SO. and
when he went for it and asked the ex-

paid il, and about a month later he
thought there was something wrong with

Matchmaker told him the expense this
time was 81.
