me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, If
there ever was a poor country boy in all.
this green and wicked old world that
suffered the agonies of death in three
shakes Of q sleeps tail, it was me. I
didn't have no time to think about what
would come of me, and / didn't give a
continental durn what went with the
he COW The mainest thing to my mind
was Uncle Luke's fine whip, which I
knowed he thought Jest o l-e-e-tle
Of that whip than he did Of his
wife and children. 1 was skeered to
pull on it much for fears it mought
slip off at the other end Of the staff,
and we would never lay mortal eyes on
it no nor he~nceforward and forever.
So I thought to myself 1 would better
try to climb the staff, as it were till
| could get my hands on the leather part
and then hang to it like grim death
till somethin froze over.
