Owen FARLEY'S COMMENT
The Ancient Sage Makes His Characteristic Annual "Round
Up" Of BslnarCks Good People

faild me and l cannot stand any cold
get my hand cold in sunshine after
l left the hospital I got sick and had
to remain in my shanty one day. 1
met doctor Ramstad. Owen he said
you look bad you ought have not left
the hospital But Superior Bonafce
huryed me out. I had no money or no
means but had to did suffer. My dear
friends l tell you truth / have been
seven days and seven nights without
any sleep or anything to eat. Sutch
is the respects for a man when he
gets old without a dollar Now then
there never was a labouring man that
came to Bismarck or ever will done
more or worked harder than l did.
They old citizens knows it. I got up
in ded Of night and buryed them
whom dide with smallpox, by order of
doctor Porter, sat up several times
with woemen that dido to keep the
2ats and rats from eating them until
I got them buried. There reputation
was not very good therefore they had
a lonely funeral about enuff to let
them down in the grave. At one time
we had another lonely funeral, and
Mr.. Mckenzie had compassion in his
hart and came along it was very
deep snow we lost the corps twice be-
fore we got it to the grave. So it is
2 fact. These people had no money
but Mr.. Mack had a heart and helped
to bury them destitute people on
several occasions I was quite desti-
tute durn the last two or three
months Father Clemens herd it and
he sent me quite lot Of nourishment
I could not get out of bed for three
weeks. My sickness was nervousness
and want Of sleep caused by ablow
of a chain over two years agow, sence
then I lost my memory and got very
| hard herring. Doctor Ramstaf
treated my ears some time agow anG
gave me great relief.
Never on this earth is there any
people treated me better than sonls
of the gentlemen and ladies of Bis
marck. What part of this world wi
you go to where you will find then
better / mean them that got brain
good education and good breedia g
| Gentle reeder thing once look at then
that kept sober look at theis family
Now there is Winchester's boy, afte
he came from school last summer h
would hurry to the garden. No per
son ever seen him throwing rock
Gather, him or these others I vii

kind free countenance for every one
Gentle reader take notice to tn
class Or families that is well bred
