worth reading. 1t has also done a great
deal of good. Among other things, it has
encouraged me to call in all the auto
biographies have ever written and also
several that have been written without
my knowledge.
II this little sketch, copied verbatim,
should prevent any misguided member
Of the legislature or warn him Just as he
is about to write a life of himself, so
that the space may be used for pure
reading matter instead, the object of
this paragraph will have been attained.
Ollie K. Sox is an assumed name
which have given him in order to spare
his family, in which direction 1 may say
he is extremely we'll fixed.
After giving date of birth, etc., he
goes on:
Next went to school to a governess
and she was Miss Squirting who had a
mind so easy that the smallest child
could learn from her and l was one of
them children who learn well and read
lily. The next day was sent on a call
to Newark, n. j., to Miss Brown to
dine and then the next day see the Buck
ingham hotel in New York and see the
sleeping beauty. l next took my music
box to be fixed on 80 1878. On the fol-
lowing Monday l went to a colored en-
tertainment called The FOOLS Revenge.
1t was very fine. l then went to have
my watch fixed and was using Papa's
while mine was away. On the following
Saturday went to the Dentists at 9 80
being in May 1878. On September -
1878 went in business with my broth
er-in-law but was soon down sick for a
week until the 16 of September. The
reaction was too great for me to go SO
violent into the play ground in the bust
ness of life but yet what once endured
cannot be obscured and to-day l am one
of the leading men in the newspaper
kingdom.
1t seems to me that man who would
visit the Buckingham hotel and witness
sleeping beauty at the same time
would 90 well to keep it as quiet as pos
sible; otherwise it might be used against
him in the future.
Still the old adage afterward quoted
that what is once endured cannot be OBJ
scured-may come in there, which re-
minds me of the expression made by a
man who asked me the other day for a
temporary loan of IS to pay a debt
which he owed TO my wife. He said
that no doubt it might look to me like
'robbing Peter to Stay Paul." but it
was all right.
The postmaster at the place named
below sends me note Of inquiry which
l insert here in order to aid good cause.
