The GAINESVILLE Tex.)Times
is responsible for the follow
ing speech delivered by Uncle
Sam on the 4th of July, 1898:
"Ladies and gentlemen"
said Uncle Sam, clearing his
throat, Il trust that on this
most glorious fourth of July
YOU will pardon any seeming
boasting on my part. l do
not expect to make a speech
to-day. but as | have somefew
facts and figures at hand l
shall endeavor to give YOU a
few pointers that will, | trust
if not entertain, at leastinter-
est YOU.
"When- ahem fourth
Of July was first invented |
was in very delicate health
and many of mvfriends feared
that | would not live until the
next one. In addition to my
wretched, health my poverty
was most appalling. Ny real
estate consisted of a fringe of
territory olong the Atlantic
coast, and even that was in
litigation. A. for money |
had none. | gave my notefor
whatever supplies | couldn't
do without and notes soon be-
came more plentiful than pre-
CiOus.
For seven years Ilitigated
with one John Bull and at
length acquired a clean title
to 1S colonies. which | imme-
diatelv combined and called
the United States of America.
It vas quite a big name for d
small property. but BY care
full management | soon began
to expand my possessions. In
tact, | grew very rapidly and
was doing Splendidlv when, in
: 1872, | was forced into litiga-
ton with that same fellow
Bull. It didn't la>tlong, how
ever, and we compromised in
my favor.
For fortv-hve y~earsIgrew
like Johah's gourd. In 1860
| got into 4 very costly dis
pute with some relatives of
mine who wereaboutto to ahem
divide my property whether
| consented or not. They
came IN an ace of making off
with my garden spot. but |
argued with them four wears.
and. though their argument,
were the warmeSt | have ever
had to meet, finally prevailed
upon them to withdraw their
claims. From that time until
1893 had no trouble. Butin
the year mentioned | was in
suited by Span. a penin>ular
kingdom across the ocean. |
promptly ducked Spain in the
deep. damp sea. and retained
such OF her possessions as |
liked as pay for ny trouble.
