Mi dere Mary Ann:
Mister Addix didn't git it. Hits SER
tenly diskuredgin', an he's thinkin
seeryusly Of putin his leg in uther
hands. He allows as how Ka,e Layton,
Frank Alice. John Abbit an them fell
lers has bin pullin 1t fer eight yeers,
an he hain't gittin' no kwid pro kwo
Outten the prosess. Everybody seems
to git sumthin' outten the fite but him,
an he's tired of po0rin' good money
down a bad rathole which haiu't got
no bottim to hit exceptin the pockits
OF sum Of our fellers l CESS, frum
wot he sez. he's about konklooded
that sumboddy's bin wurkin' the kon-
fidence game on him an his bank ac-
count
Wot makes hit espeshelly embaras-
sin to Mister Addix is the fact as how
he wuz so sure OF gittin' eleckted that
he went down to Washington an
leased a house an moved his folks
down there, an now he's got to put
"Fer Rent" sign under the frunt
winder an wait fer a tenant That's
wOt kums OF gittin too previous an
takin' things fer granted. l think
Kale Layton, Frank Alice an John
Abb!tt shud pay half the rent an all
of this expense OF packin an haulin'
the goods both ways, an also fer the
flowers Mister Addix had bot to put
on his desk in the SENT chamber wen
he TUX his sect.
Us peepil feels SEX We've got
Dockter Moore. Dockter Layton, Dock
ter Marshall, Dockter Bertin an
Dockter Greer in attendance but they
hain't much good fer they feel about
as sick as we do Hits a nasty feelin'
this hein' sore all over. but CESS most
of our fellers will live thrOo II eff nuth-
in else don't happin. Our friend
Ferris Giles. is so down in the mouth
that he CANT step without hittin' his
jaw with the toe Of his shoe. He
raised his thin small voice to me in
lammentashun an sed: "Bill, hits
awful / haint goin' to speek to
Sam Nox an Bill Finn no more!"
Now, Mary Ann, hits a well-known
fackt as how Sam Nox an Bill Finn
both despises the ground Ferris Giles
walks on. but / didn't let on. l jes'
lookt kinder sorrowful like an sed :
I'm afeerd, Ferris, as how they'll
feel yOre neglect. Ef I wuz yu I'd
stop speekin gradyal like, an then
they wudn't fele hurt kwite so mutch. "
But he allows as how he's goin' to cut
'em ded the first time he sees EN-, an
eff they hain't mitey keerful there
soshel pOsishun is goin' to be hurt, fer
Ferris belongs to the Four Thousand
/ told Mister Addix as how Sam
Nox an them six Reglers wudn't give
up but he sed Mister Hanna allowed
as how him an the Nashunel Kom-
mittee kud fix that all rite That wuz
before Mister Hanna had saw Sam Nox
an herd him express hisself. Now
Mary Ann, wot's the use Of navin' a
Nashunel Kommittee ef hit KANT helI
Mister Addix git wot he wants, an ei

lison, TheeOdoor Klark, Dick Pilling
Bill Chandler. Bill Finn an Dick
Hodgson run the pOlitikal affairs oi
this yere country We don't know
wether Sam Nox or Mark Hanna is
nashunel chairman the way things is
standin now. We're Jest sittin' down
under the weepin' willer tree an kod-
gitatin'. The events of the past weel
mas put us in a deep brown study an
We CANT realize as how Mister Ad
dix didn't git it.
