l will tell the readers of the News of
my trip on the mountain and what
happened on my road. | started up
the mountain, not knowing very much
about the road. l went on until /
came to where it forked and met a
man and asked him which one of
these roads would carry me to the top
of the mountain, and he told me to
take the right hand road until l came
to duck nest, but wouldn't find
the top there. Then he told me to &C
on until passed by an old sow's bed
and then turn off at the old goose's
nest, but l wouldn't find the top there.
/ told him he was as smart as | wal
and passed on. went on until
found where Bill Dooley once had {
drug store selling liniment. Says
now, am on track of Bill Dooley ant
his old SOW that read about. Jus
then / saw that old SOW coming dowI
the road to meet me, with every hal
, on her turned up the wrong way, ant
so I could not tell whether she wa
coming or going. Her eyes looked lik
Hill WutOlS anu llCl bCObl loohCu lin
; cow horns never saw such a hog il
my life. Her eyes were run out on
stem two feet long and she made TO
me. Gee whiz My hair made m
hat rise ON my head until l could no
hold it on, and told legs to say
body. / didn't run far until locke
back and saw her coming right on at
ter me. Great Jerusalem What wi
I do! I thought if l could reach tn
, top of the mountain maybe / coul
, have her tired down by then and
: would be safe, but | didn't knoN
whether l was on the right road or nc
and in fact, she didn't give me time
study it out, but l knew this roa
:, surely had an end somewhere. So
>. went on until ran onto another maj
. / told him I guessed had ran ont
Bill Dooley's old SOW, for she locke
and acted like she had been doped GOO
with his liniment, as they had told II
how it made anything act and wh'
. kind of effect it had and he sait
J THANK you, sir, she is the one l a
/ looking for" and told him she Wi
y mt the one / was looking for, for o
IS Satan himself could not have got n
J. scared any worse than that old critic
/ and if / ever got to the top | new
= wanted to take another such trip.
1 told him Just to go ahead and
a would find her only few steps ba
'e there, but l didn't want to see him q
ter he fonnd the old sow. | asked hi
how far it was to the top of the mou
tain, and he told me it was three mil
20 if | walked two and half if | rode a
