WITH Deans ut chicago for Buffalo
Se see, every bloOmin farmer in
the country had taken to raisin
beans for the army as the best thing
they could do to help squelch the
rebs. The crop hadn't been over
and above good tibet year, and them
Chicago huStlers war a-tryin to cor
ner it and make the government pay
big money for its bean rations.
Some Buffalo fcllers saw tho game
and caught ON to it, and there was
IA contract with our owners to send
their whole feet to Chicago and
make break in the Windy Cty's
bean plans. AS luck would have it,
the old Exile was the last one to
git her load. She was stiff old
craft, though, and in them days side
wheelers war thought moro Of'n
they are now.
I'VE got out of port and up the
lake all right, but by the time we
war we'll among the islands it be-
| gun to snow, n blamed fine snow,
like thick fog, SO tibet We Couldn' t
see nothin at all, with the wind
a-risin and the snow Cuttin like cam
brio needles. The Cap'n looked kind
of blue around the gills when he
came below to ask my advice. If
this yere weather keeps up, says
he blamed if l see how were guin
to git through the straits without
| scrapln acquaintance with things
we don't want to hcv anything to
do with.
jest LATED h"artylke and said,
says L: Never you mlnd, cap II. IL
