Beeing all oaver the wurld isent the
only thing to maik a man or woman
interesting, wife, sed Pa. I have met
sum peepul in my time that has been

RELY go around it thay thought that

going around the wurld has it's ad-
yantages, the saim as a college educa-
shun. providing the peepul that do
eether have the branes besides

All. sed Ma, we was jest talking about
the angels & thay appeer.
,Thay dident look much like angels to
me. Thare nalm was Mister & Missus
Snitzel. Mister Snitzel looked different
than any man l ever seen. He was
awful short & wide q he had a big he'd
& arms that was almost to his shins
He was bow-legged, & he had a nose
like peece of coal witch is jest burning
good. He was dressed nice like a coll
lege professor with a long coat e.
stove pipe hat. Missus Snitzel was
littel better looking than her husband,
beekaus she had to be. & she was
dressed nice, too. only her feet was so
big that thay made her skirt look like
a hubbel skirt.
