The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1899-12-13

Catliks, and the bland fools of the
all of theim foigbt among them
selves, and the country goes to the
Divil in consiquince, and the rid
flag of Inglund triumphs over the
whole lot of them simply becaus they
don't all acknowledge that there's
but wun God, and quit pickering
over small diffirnces as to the
stoyhle OF Him, and lit themselves
and their religion goi its way, with
out interference. If they wud
only just all gather under the gud
green ouid fog, they kud march
over 10 Winsor and whin the queen
bless her ould sole, anyhow, was
shaping. kud run away with her, and
hold her-of course all the tonne
feading and using her well, and kap-
ing a docther round SOS the old
ladie' wouldn't faint err collapse.
And thin when the blamed high
heded British wanted her back they
could free the Imirald Isle, and we'd
give her up. Ard there won On It
be tin lives lost, and the hull bis
ness kud be transacted in a wiki, and
all the Oirish that had lift home to
come here wud 90 back before the
mkt moon came up, and a slnsible
plan loike this wud inhsure free
Oireland in no time at ALL
And thus Barney ratified on at
lively rate, and I am quite positive
that his Bridget didn't have call
from him that day. l hadn' thought
much of the affair, but one day I
happened to meet Barney in the
bank, and he was sober as Judge;
he had been working for many
months in the woods, and had just
come down. He looked we'll and
was prosperous, and was telling the
man at the window that he had
braced up and was going to get
married and settle down.
"But now, O'ill tell we, Oh hey a
dear ould muther, and it's to my
disgras, but Oh hivn't written her in
miny yrs. It's ten pounds Oil
send the goud ould soul, and We can
make out peice of paphur for the
omount. Hir name is Anna Cain,
and she lives-if the dear Saints
spared her all these yeirs that Oh,
her undullful son how neglected her,
at Kinnieberg, by the sea to West
port
"All right" said the bank clerk,
now how do you spell your mothers
name?"
'Shure, and if was an intillijent
mon loike we old not be afther ask
ing an Oirish lumber jack loike me
how it is that We spill so simple a
name as that my mother has got,'
But" said the man on the other
side of the window, lis Cain spelled
with c. or K?"
And the divil proilty quis ton
is thot There is the sthory of Cain
and Abel, that's bin bonded doom
since shortly afther Ave was made
from the rib of Odom, and they have
bin spilling the name of Cain in the
same old apsruved fashion iyersince
And now do you know how to spell
Cain?"
The banker concluded that he did,
and Barney went away remarking
that "thot mon is moighty smart,
but has been niglicting his Bible
teachings, Dim fraid."
Barney's good resolutions fell
through, and he concluded that in
asmuch as his money was going for
liquor that he would buy it by the
barrel, and sell it, and see if there
couldn't be something made from
the stuff, instead of it's eating up a
good share of his earnings. He
came to the conclusion that he
would start a saloon, and he furnish
ed twoor three hundred of capital,
and took in a partner who furnished
the experience. In month the
man with the experience gave
Barney threshing and kicked him
out. Of course Barney was pretty
drunk or this couldn't have been
done SO easily. Barney hesitated
after he had reached the outer edge
of the sidewalk, and was half mind
to 60 back, reclaim his property,
and take revenge on his partner,
But he thought better of it.
