IVY de noOs dat is comm from Moo
Jersey bout gettin' after de people fer
wat thew do on Sunday. l was sittin'
round de room yesterday waitin' fer
me frien' Billy to come round and make
a sprint wild me up to Walkerville wen
l gets to lookin' over de paper. I am
not much fer readin' de lates' stuff dat

know, but Badly keeps his lamps well
pealed fer de tings dat is bobbin' up
round de city, and fer wat comes hot
off de wires. Dere is times wen I gets

Near as josef to de deal dere is some
guys down at a stoppin' point called
Ocean City and round dat neighbour
hood wat thinks dere is a bunch of
tngs dey has fer six days in de week
dat dey are needin' on Sunday. 'MOng
desc things is bath, drink and
chance wild de deck. Dat country, as I
has de office, is not very free wild de
citizens de bes' way We can frame it up.
De county attorney he gets on to wat
is happen and he sends out few
sparrow cops to peep in on few of de
games and fms lot of things dat needs
fiXin'.
"Dere is crowd of kids from de big
cities wat has on striped buds an is
tryin' to show one anodder how to do
some fancy flops in de sea. De cops sees
dis sport an takes out dere pencils an
puts down de names of de lads. Desc
names goes up to de attorney an den
it is all off wild de jolly crowd on de
beach. Den dere is de fellers Eat sells
de drinks. Dey balance dere books on
Saturday night and fin dat six days
week is not leavin' dem much to do
good and so dey just han out a few
fresh ones on Sunday Right here, too.
my frien' is whar dere is some smilin'
to be done. Desc drinks is not all de
kin wild de foam on dem, nor de tangle
bran dat makes We forget yer street
number. Some O. dem is de kin dat dey
put ice cream and spoon in. How is
dat for keepin' line on We? Tell We de
trut' am wild de fly cops on dis part o.
de deal. Dey gets de names SO desc fell
lers dat sells dat kim o. goods an de
lads dat pushes out de silver holders
wild de glass O. fizz water in dem is not
gettin' any more dan is comm to dem.
Dere is some limits even in aholdout
like Ocean City an / am backin' wat l
say wild me coin. Wen Teller comes
down to his joint wild his Sunday togs
on and takes chanel on runnin agin
de law by sellin' soda water dere is no
cinch too bad fer him. If de law O.
Moo Jersey makes da ting crime dey
will never get Baldy's fist to petition
to get de man out dat is doing a stretch
fer it..
Den dere is de pasteboards. Dere de
sleut's get in once more. 1t pears dat
dere Is a few packs o. cards down in dat
country dat de folks did not want dem
to get mouldy. so dey just trots dem out
some time, wen 'cordin' to de :ules of
de town dey should have been dowr
listen to a spiel on de bad 'fects of
gamblin. In some O. de cases it pears
dat de sinners gets so far out wild de
tide dat day play euchre and w'ist. Dey
don't stan fer dat fer a mint an de
boy dat thinks he is winnin' wild bot
bowers in his NIT fms little later dat
de attorney has his handle on de lis an
dat his name is Denis.
well, de attorney he takes all desc
names of de criminals. or desc as is ac-
cused wild bein' in de same class wild
de short change man, an he lays dem
down in light and dark. fore de gran
jury. De jury reads over de charges
an de men bein' mostly agn de sale O
booze an dat sort o. ting, dey shakes
dere heads an de true bills are already
started down de alley to de court. Wen
de Judge looks thrO his glasses at de
bills he fms dere is mos hundred O.
dem. Dere is more bills dan people, We
see fer som O. dem gifts hit by de buzz
saw o. de law four an five times. Dere
seems to be few O. de guys back dere
dat is maxim loud roar bout de way
dere frien's is havin' it handed to dem.
Dey seem to tink dat dere is an over
production O. law an order but dey don't
pear to have de gran jury wild dem.
Dat Jersey bran O. making people be
good beats anything we are meetin' here
in de mountains. I fought fer a time
back dere was a RAIDER big pressure on
de steam ches' O. de reform engine here.
but I gives de palm to dat mosquito
country. I tells We, Mr.. Bartender. If
