de ground floor from de hall. Walter
Moore had q pass to de performance, an
de fellers an ladies rs reports to de teach
ers' committee of de board as turned out to
parade, reminded me dat de new schools
has since den been provided for. Hale, de
president of de lirtle mine. had seat in de
pit an ole man Grubb smiled to de bishop
from de bald headed row. Frank Nunson
was hit for $25 worth. an Hale coughed up
golden ten. Sam Kingery was in charge
of de plate, an it cost him 80 wheels
Munson couldn't see that raise cause it
haint in his ward unless he wins out in de
primaries dis winter and all hands helped
to make up de jack pot. which was daisy.
Pitman's bird an if it ever comes so dat
Perry Howard really buries Sam kingery,
Pitman's on my lis. to look after street
sweepin' from de Fourth. De deputy
zanjero has said it an if yuse sees it in the
Go onel's very sure republican morning
paper, its SO wild both feet"
s'Say, dere's more politicians in de
Fourth ward dan in all de oder eight wards
of the city linked togedder. Every one of
dem geysers down dere as thinks he con-
trolls his own vote, is all de time a-doin' his
best friens programin' for number one.
Dey gets togedder an picks out dere men
at de caucus. Den de first doughnut is
a-ripped up fer de picnic. Somebody's
been turned down, of course, an all hands
does a ghost dance aroun' de grave of all
de fellers as has been jobbin. Den along
comes de primaries an de football gets ex-
citing. c. p. Dandy wants ter he coun-
Gilman, John Drain lines up to be corral
boss of de street department. Johnny
Vaughn goes an finds Her Lindley an its
me dat's finally called in to use de cyphoon
OH de whole outfit. Me and Lindley looks
over our dancio' program, an de waltzes
has all been assigned. Den comes de con-
vention an Walter Parker has got to be con.
suited. We three 'uns cuts fer de deal an
de play works aroun' SO as to give de ward
not even smell of de orange peel. Den
all hands sells out everyone else cheap
wild 80 per cent off for cash after de cleo
ton, an de spiel is done. Et yuse don't
see what yuse wants, ask fer it, an it'll
come when yuse amt a-look;n', l don't
tink.
1.-The colonel is a-havin' high old time
wild de big, guns Of de party in de eite'e
ton today an says dat his trip has been
one continued succession of triumphs,
which is writin' as only George Pessel)
uses on de odder side of Main street. DE
colonel is q real gentleman when he amt
a candidate for irothin' nor no other feiler
dis side of hisself is a-runnin' 10 be 'lected.
When dere's a campaign on de colonel
amt reliable. His Republican paiammas
has den been a-takin' off to dry an pro-
lection amt worth no more'n about four
cents on de dollar. De colonel in his little
billet doux to me says dat Joe Foraker
was admin wild Nc cKinley when he called.
As soon as he come into de door de mex
president fires de man wild de fire alarm
jaw into de kitchen where he had to eat
toot'picks boiled in onions, while de col
onel put de finishin' touches to Foraker
plate of terrapin stew. De colonel, so de
word has areached me, started in to cut
his stew wild fork like dey do down in
Vernon, but Mckinley steered him right.
He was after hlowin' his face into de finger
bowl. till de hired girl told him dat de ting
was for him to bathe off de paint from dat
centennial counter"
''In Chicago de colonel near whisked out
his own light in de Palmer House by
shakin' his breath up against de gas jet.
De bell boy was just awritin to Hervey
lindley an Frank RAIDER about it. when de
old man came to an said he was still agin
de world in general and for W. c. Patter-
son for mayor. In New York de colonel
run up agin a chap as vowed he knowed
him in de war. when de colonel was jes as
big a man as he is today. De trick worked
beautiful an de colonel was alinin up to
lend de guy his last years dividend to
gamble dat de pea was under de she'll
which it wasn't. when a fly cop comes
along an yanks 'em both to de refrigera-
tor. 1t cost lie colonel sandwiches all
aroun' to keep de fac's outen de Police
Gazette"
"Iu Washington, de colonel is eatin' ice
cream an buckwheat cakes wild John Sher-
man an Grover Cleveland. De last feller
gives my fren' an invite to sleep one night
in his bed wild hisself at de White House,
an to shake hands wild de babies. but de
colonel had a date to go to bed late dat
night, if he went at all. an he had to de-
cline wild tanks"
'In New York de colonel met a feller
called Pulickser. or some odder foreign
name like dat. Dis dago chap amt mex.
an he lowed as he never heered of our
byawny leader afore. De colonel got kind
er mad at dat, but he's been brought W
right, an he never blinked wink
When both of 'em had emptied
ten stems apiece. dey gets
confidential. De colonel tells to de fur
reign chap sbout his circulation. an de
eagle, an de centennial counter. an de
saunterer, an den de furreigner looks
kinder tired like de las rose of summer.
He fades de colonel out and blows him off
agin history buildin' an shows him a
fifty page paper called de Earth or some
tin, an shows him dat he, de colonel, amt
in it along side him. Polecatzer, or what
ever might be his name. Den de colonel
gets to callin' de furreigner names an says
he's stuck up, an dey leaves each odder
swearin' dat de world amt big enough for
two such wonderful chaps as dey both is."
