Mi dere Mary Ann:
Wot du yu think Mister Watsin r.
Spurry has cum over to us Addix fell
lers, an he's fetched the Mornin' Noos
along with him. Hits sertenly en-
kuredgin'. an, frum wot he sez. hits
a wunder t0 me he never dun hit he
fore, for there haint bin no change in
the situashun, an ! allow as how the
change must be in Mister Spurry. An
jes' to think. he cum all the way frum
Germinny to hand in his alleegens to
cur crate leeder. Hits sertenly a
tetohin' tribyoot to the drawin' kwali-
ties of Mister Addix hoo allows as how
hit's meerly anuther demonstrashun Of
the undyin' prinsipel of the sooperior-
ity of mind over matter.
All of us Addix fellers IS glad the
AddiX movement is gainin' strength
over in Germinny. Sum of the boys al
lows as how the Emperor of Germinny
an all the luther peepil over there
waited on Mister Spurry an told him
as how hit wuz his doOty to cum over
an DO wot he cud to help an aspirin
an long-sufferin' feller-bein' outten a
hole, an he dun hit. But l CESS them
Toottens didn't have nuthin' to do with
hit, or at least, that Spurry wuz a-com-
in, ennyway, wether them fellers had
ssd ennything to him or not. Hit
needn't serprise yu ef Mister Addix de-
sides as how he'd ruther be emperor Of
Germinny than seniter fTTlm Dellywer.
fer his minds constantly expandin' an
absOrbin moo idees.
/ asst Mister Addix how hit cum
about that Mister Spurry fergot his
past an cum over to us fellers. He
laffei kinder funny like an sed
Bill, hits q mistery. I CESS hit
must abin the water he drunk over
there in Bad-an' -Bad-un an Carl's
Bad. His act wuz entirely unsolicited
on mi part. I'm sure. an l give yu mi
wurd OF homer I hain't made him no
promises or nuthin. ! expect as how
he's bin asleep fer ten yeres, an has
jes woke up to a realizashen that I'm
a smart man deservin' of all the help
l kin git an BIZ"
An l CESS that's so, Mary Ann, fer
Mister Spurry's had sum terribul
mite mares about Mister Addix vile
he's bin asleep, an now that he's woke
up he's maxim up fer lost time in ritin'
Relatin' to promises, wen
Mister Addix promises a feller emmy
thing he's more likely to tell the peepil
about hit than he is to keep his prom
ise. Bein' on the inside, as / am, I've
nOtist that oftin. Therefor / CESS this
yere wurk that's being dun by Mister
Spury hain't nuthin' but a laber Of
luv.
Wen I seen Mister Spurry to-day l
sez:
'Watsin, kin yu still speek English.
or shall go down an git Squire Sasse
to cum up we're an ackt as an inter
prefer"
He sez:
Bill, mi old friend, speak English,
but go slow, fer I've bin in Germinny
80 long that I've fergot almost every
hing / ever moved"
/ seZ:
"Watsin. hits a plesher to see yu
home once more-dO you understand
.hat?"
He sez:
Yah"
I SCI:
An hits a gratihkashun to no as
how, in yer present stait OF politikal
yu kin see yore way klere !
70 support Mister Addix. l sertenly
hope yu enjoyed yer trip"
He side an sed
Yes, Bill. but hits a long jerney
rum the Kobdin Klub to the mersy
icet of Addixisn."
/ sez:
''watsin, wen did yu git converted?"
He sez:
