The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1898-10-20

"Gln raj sherman was wan iv tn smart
est men we liver had" said Mr.. Dooley.
HE said SO many bright things. Twas
him said: War is HE'LL an that's wan iv
tn finest sayin's know annything about.
War is hell it's thrue wurrud an a
fine sintiment An Ginral Sherman says:
'Th' only good Indyun is dead 1ndyuh.'
Az that's a good ssyin', too. SO, be tn
powers, we've started in again to improve
tn race, an if We can get in Gatlin' guns
enough hefure tn winters SHOWS we'll
turn thin Chippeways into cimitry
branch iv tn Young Mems Christyan As
sociation. We will so.
"Ye see, Hinnissy, tn Indyun is bound
f'r to give way to tn onward march iv
white civilization. / come along an
find OF Snakes-in-His-G Caters Hvin' quiet
an dacint in new frame house. Thinks
L: 'Tis a shame f'r to lave this savage
man in possession iv this fine abode, an
him not able f'r to vote an without
frind on tn polls foorce.' So says /:
Snakes l says, get along says l, i
want yer house an ye best move out west
iv tn thracks an dig hole FIJI ye'erself,'
l says. 'Divvle tn fut will step out iy
l have tn law on me side,' he says. 'F'r
why should take Mary Ann, an Terence
an HonOria. an Robert Immitt Snakes
an all me little Snakes an rustic out
west iv tn thracks,' he says, far frim tn
bones iv me ancestors he says, AN be
yond tn watherpipe extinsion,' he says.
Because says l, I am tn walkin' dily-
gate iv white civilization / says. I'm
jist as civilized as you,' says Snakes. I
wear pants he says, an plug hat he
says. 'Ye might wear tin pairs says 1,
AN all at wanst,' l says. AN ye'd still be
a savage says 1, AN I'd be civilized !
says, If l hadn't on so much as bangle
bracelet l says. so get OUT says l,
'fr tn pianny movers is outside r-ready to
go to wurruk,' says.
well, Snakes he fires shtove lid at
me an go down to tn polls station an
says 1: Loot l says, 'they'se drunken
lndyun not voting up near tn mills an
he's carryin' on outrageous an he won't
let me hang me pitchers on his WALL says
l. Vile savage says tn loot. I'll tache
him to rayspict tn rules iv civilization
he says. An he takes out a wagon load
an goes afther Snakes. Well, me frind
Snakes gives him battle, an knowin' tn
premises well he's able to put up great
fight, but afther awhile they rip him away
an have him in tn pathrol wagon with
man settin' on his head. An thin he's
put undher bonds to KEEP the peace, an
they sind him out west iy tn thracks an
l move into tn house an tear out tn
front an start a faro bank. Some day
whin 1 git tired or Schwartzmeister
makes his lunch too sthrong fr competi-
ton, I'll go afther Snakes again.
9TH on'y hope f'r tn Indyun is to put
Ms house on rollers an KEEP team hitched
to it, an whin he sees white man to
start f'r tn settin' sun. He's rooned whin
he has cellar. He ought to put all tn
plugged dollars that he gets from tn agent
an be pickin' blueberries into rowlin'
stock. If he knew anything about bal
looms he'd have q chanst, but we white
men, Hinnissy, has all tn balloons. But,
anyhow, he's doomed, as Hogan says.
Th' onward march iv tn white civilization
with morgedges an other modhren i'm
provements is slowly but surely, as Hogan
says, chasin' him out, an tn last iv him'll
be livin' in divin' bell somewhere out
in tn Pacific ocean,"
WELL" said Mr.. Hennessy, the stout
philanthropist, Il think so, an thin again,
I dinnaw. l don't think we threat thin
Fright. If was tn government I'd take
what they got, but I'd say: Here, take
this tin dollar bill an go out an dhrink
ye'ersilf to DEATH I'd say. They ought to
have some show"
''Well," said Mr.. Dooley, 'if We feel that
way We ought to go an inist as an Ind
yun."-Chicago Journal.
