TATlON WITH HIS WHISPERS.
The Joys sf'Tobogganing with Little Miss
Fannie In the Coansry-"Say, Honest,
You'd Never Get Tired"-A Plot That
Proves n Very Successful One.
Say, honest, you'd never get tired. De
bull pup is not marker by dc side of de
fun we had wild his whiskers when we had
de toboggcn sliding at our place down in
de country. You know little Miss Fannie?
Well, dat kid wouldn't let nobody take her
down de slide except me, so dat kept me
out dere wild de folks all de time dey were
sliding, and dat was nearly all de time
while de snow lasted. Mr.. Paul said it
would have lasted longer only for his
whiskers, who is so warm. But you'd
never get tired. Remember de wildly l
was telling you about--de wiley WILDLY
what tried e play bluff and break into
de family tru de church, wild his whiskers
e tip de parsonP Well, Miss Fannie was
dead sora on dat game, cause she WASH t
looking for no stepmudder only five years
older dan herself, and de wildly was terri
BILE shy ON invitations t. visit our place,
until she got engaged e marry anodder
mug. Den she got invitations again, and
everything was lovely.
Say, dere is funny ting about widdys.
When dey is engaged t. be married, dcy is
just as gay as when dey isn't De duchess
told me dat dat was because dey has been
in de game BEFORE and don't see no use in
t'rowing down dere hands and stop play
ing until some one has called 'om. If dey
did, dey might find dat no one was going
t. call; dat it was only bluff, and den
dey would feel like a man who steps out
of hand and finds dat if he'd drawn
cards hs'd had four aces But dat's only
de duchess talking. She's dat stuck on
poker she tries e. make everything in life
line up wild do game. But l don't sec
nothing between de two what is alike, ex.
cept dat in poker and life de mug who is
alwayskicking at his luck ism II very shifty
at his job, whatever it is. But, say, you'd
never get tired. De WILDLY was visiting
us, and his whiskers was SO kittenish
wonder he didn't drink milk instead ol
whisky and water.
Miss Fannie wasn't worried, because de
mug de WILDLY is engaged t. get hitched
to has money for cinders, and you couldn't
| break her away from de contract wild dyna
mite. So she just didn't do nothing E
| queer de wildly from having all de fun she
was looking for.
An de folks and de wildly, and me, wit
| little Miss Fannie, and de duchess t. looE
| after Miss Fannie's cloalzs and tings, wa:
| ALI out on de slide de odder day, wild dt
men from de stables tt fetch up dc tobog
! gems from de bottom Of de slide. Say you't
never get tired if you d sec de way de coach
mans kid would kick when I'd give'hin
4 my sled and tell him t. take it up, like
| was one of de swells. But, honest, / hat
4 little Miss Fannie G. look after, and She
more worry dan any one else on top of d
cart, and couldn't look after anything
| else.
Well, dere was a. big snowdrift de sizeo
q house one side of de slide just after yol
made de big jump in de middle, and 70,
had t. steer mighty shifty as you'd go int
de drift. was de boss of de road, 'caus
/ could steer de best, what was de reason
Miss Fannie let me take charge of de littl
one. 1 copped it right dat his whiskers
who was taking de wildly down wild hin
every trip, always folleyed mo down
cause he could steer after me andN mak
good. 1t was dat set me thinking, and ON
| time, when we started down, l told de- Lit
tie one t. hold on t. me tight, cause wa
going t. give her nice turn over after d
| jump. She taut dat would be great--an,
it was. Honest, you'd never get tired.

steering close after me. Just before W
came to de jump give a twist and w
went off widout even turn over. Blu
his whiskars, folleying, turned just sec
ond too late and, honest, he shot up lik
de bull pup de odder day when de COY

but bote voices stopped short as dey mad
beautiful header Into dat sfIowdrift, tIn
never stopped till bote of 'em, his whiske1
and de WILDLY, waslout of sight, except der

de folks up at de top of de slide came rur

demselves. But Mr.. Paul was as sober q
Judge in de Tombs, and says, Hurry
Chames," says he, hurry and get 'el
out before deEmelts de drift. and drown L
all" !.
When we got em out, his whiskers ne'
ez tumbled; but de wildly, when she g
