gone all day, and that boy he picks
out gall and Molly was the one, aud
let me say right here that Molly was
nifty sweet gal. You have often heard
the song of Molly Mogg. Well that is
where the song started from and here it
is:
MOLLY MOGG
Says my uncle pray you discover
What hath been the cause of your woes,
That you pine and you whine like a
lover.
I've seen Molly Mogg of the rose
The school-boys delight is a playday,
The school-master's delight is to fog;
The milk-maid's delight is on a May
day,
But mine is on sweet Molly Mogg.
So this young man was dead gone on
Molly. 1t was indeed a case of love at
first sight and, would you believe it,
this young man, Ike Logg, talked love
it that gals year and the two spooned
awhile and was nifty glad they met,
Now Its we'll to say right here that
them Mogg gals way hard gals to win
and they didn't soy yes eyeryt time for
one time out of hundred they would
say no but as it happened that one
time never came around. Any way Ike
Logg and Molly Mogg made it up and
skipped that very day while Mr.. Mogg
was hidin and Mrs Mogg huntin him.
The boy tore that telegram up and
wrote note and left instead for that
broken-harted Mrs Mogg and that scar
ed harted Mr.. Mogg and the note read
as follows:
Dere Pap an Mani
Yer daughter and intended son-in.
law Will see you again some day. Pap
l an the happiest gal you ever seed for
Mr.. Logg loves me and called me pet
and all the sweet thing a man could
think of and said he would make you
good son-in-law Ri Ri,
Molly.
p S, Mr. Logg wants to say few
words
Dere Father-in-law.-
love your gal and will make her my
wife before six hours and hope you
will take it easy as you can, Your SON
in-law.
Ike Logg.
+ Bye and bye when Mr. Mogg read
this he had duck fit and said Mrs.
Mogg was the cause Of it all and let
that gal get away while he was in the
woods hard at work getting wood and
