BOB VISITS THE CITY


CONTINUED From First pago)
standing collar look like a white
washed fence around a Lunatic
Asylum, but it dident seem TO work
very well, then Kittie began TO cry
but the proprietor wouldent stand
for that either but simply remarked
that he thought large bunch of
fresh air would do us all some good
so the finish found us looking like Il
lot Of cheap guys with a couple of
chophouse soubrettes up against it.
However after several long tackles
wereached the street and not knowing
just what time it was thought we
would ask a policeman he said he
thought it was about time that we
were digging out Of our Sappho
dream or he would give US a push
in the Kisser that would make
carmen look like a porous plaster
that had worked overtime and
Immediately our lady friends, who
by this time could not see at all, said
he was no gentleman. Now, Jack
old man as it was still early, about a..
m, we all started for the Haymarket
just to watch the people who run the
place make hay. So of course we
bought a couple Of those things they
call "night hawks and started on
our dear little trip down Broadway
and ] can tell you its all very well to
ride three in a cab when your legs
are strong, but when you have that
Philadelphia feeling coming over you
and one Of those dear little peaches
setting on your lap with a beautiful
running tide who is trying to tell you
between her breath and Madison
Square how much her father is
worth, simply puts the Electrical
Tower in Buffalo out Of business and
l can tell you my boy that a doctor
is sadly needed. However, after a
few swings and a little on the level
we were landed at the Market. Well
as soon as we had all taken our places
alta round table in the Balcony, Kittie
Of course started right in again to
have the "Willies" and we all told
her in one breath that she must
behave like lady or the rest of the
I Queens who were drinking beer
would think that she was not well
brought up, this of course made her
jump up from the table and she
started to take the hurdles two and
three at a time, and, Of course, at the
same moment the gentlemen whC
runs the place was after Kitty with 9
club as one lady said she had beer
insulted, and the second lost 8
beautiful highball which she had just
paid her little l5c for and the third
got a beautiful push in her smiler
then of course all hands started in t
do up our charming Kitty and heI
fat friend, but about that time orders
were received to sneak and with the
aid of a large crowd we were pushed
down stairs and out into the street
so Jim and myself Immediately pu
Dime and his lady friend in a hanson
and told the driver to run for his lif
and a few moments later got tn,
other stiffs, Charlie Goodboy and hi
girl who came from over the bridg,
in a second hanson, and told tn
man on the box to follow the frs
one. Well old man the finish Of tina
night found both couples taking il
the fresh air at 59th st. and Centra
Park about 4.3O a. m. and swearing
that the next time they start to d
the town Jim Stevens and You
Uncle Dudley will have to saw wool
and remain out in the cold. HopinI
this will reach you in safety and witt
kind remembrance to all the boys.
Yours sincerely,
Bob.
