the same blessings.
Oh had a dhrame on Chusday night
which was not all a dhrame. an it is
on me moind tbot bad thot Oi must
tell We av il.
Oi dhrsmed ,hot me an Noike was
kaping ay a shmall store an Moike
died an wint to Heavin, an ay course
Moike an me being van, as His Holy
Riyerance tould u, Oi whit with
him.
There 90 be d great crowd an Jam
before the Heavily gate loike Nc
CURE old postoficc on Sundays, 80
while On do be waitin for Moike to
take his turn OF climbed upon a pile
av brick an stone where they do be
repairin IN peaily gates to keep out
delegates to the constitutional con-
vintion, an such foin sight never
before me eyes. They wor people
there from the four inds av the airth,
an there wor naygurs besOids which
WASH, what Oi expected, an they
wor ridin in horse an a carriage,
an a pickin up gold in the shtreets.
an there wsr pigs an pertaties every
where.
Soon Moike's turn kun an ser
st. Peter, a pullin his beard an
lookin wiselike over his spectaeles.
like Harris Il Son, the livery stable
mon: "Whin did ye die an where
from?'
Ne name is Moike O'Shaugnessy
an, Olive been kaping av a shmall
store dist fernist the XN ranch in
in tn Usage Reservation, an Oi died
las night. SCI It. Peter.
Me ould mon MOike, being a rael
glntlemaa, an and Dim micrat an
from the Usage country besoides,
would shtand for nothin' loike thot
so he ups wild his sLillelah to give
81. Peter a crack on the noggin, an
knowing how by st. Peter wud look
whin Moike got through wild him Oh
told him to desist, thin st. Peter sez,
sez he:
.'Oi tex the Peoples Tribune, an
the Capital, an Journal, an Fairfax
Chief, an Foraker Tribune, an Ray
publican, an Oi rade livery wan av
THIN from the title in the front to
tn Western Newspaper Union trade
mark in the back, an niver war st
have Oi seen yez name in the adyer-
tiseing columns. Dead min don't
advertise 20 its yersilf as has been
dead long time. Whin yer was born
the first tonne ye1 cried it was an
advertisement for something to ate.
An on down through lo;fe yez have
Dragged how Yez would settle the
tarH, an the money question, an
the naygurs, an the furun policy,
while sittin on the dhry goods box in
front av yen store but such adverting
did not impress people wild yeez
greatness. Printed advertisements
is IN barney stone as catches trade
an if the Midland Valley don brin5
papers wild yeez ad, the Katy or tn
Snnta Fe will an OH shure see it,
The printed Bible is a foine infuen-
tial advertisement av this summer
raysort an if yez hadn't read it yez
would have come no further than Ho-
garity saloons. Our guests are all
brainy advertisers. Teell wild We,
seq he.
So Moike tux up his carpet bag
full ay his winter clothing an shtart-
ed for the bad place an av course,
Moike an me being wan, Oh wint
with him.
Tn road was 50 long an the day
so hot vi thought we'd never get
there. There wor thorns. an thist-
les, an brambles, an cactus livery
where, an centipedes as long as me
arm an tarantulas a. big as a tub.
The road was thot rocky it was
twinty times as bad as the Nelogany
road in Billy Wells stage coach.
Afther long travel We got so close
