to do the blamed thing runs under
worter jest like a fish and shoots
what is cald torpeedoze thru the
worter at other ships which when
they strike said ships stoves holes
in EN- and sinks EN- to the bottom.
After Hen got thru readin Hank
Dewberry who is purity well post

heerd stitch lie in his life. Comm
from Hank this ort to carry a good
cal of weight being as he is regard
ed as praps the biggest liar in
Bingville and ort to know whot he
is talkin about.
Hank said it stood to reason
that there wassent emmy stitch think
as a ship that would run under
worter even if it was all closed
over and holler in the inside and
full of air for the fellers inside of
it to breethe becuz if it was full of
air it wouldn't run under worter a
bit moren a bubble which is full
of air would. There seems to be a
good cal of reason in this, even if
Hank amt got mulch sense in most
other respecks.
Then Deacon Bradbury who was
present spoke up and said how in
thunderashion could a submyreen
supposin Jest for the sake of argy-
ment there was stitch thing, shoot
off a gun under worter? The Dea-
con said at the first shot there
would be hole stove in the side of
the ship afore the torpedo could git
out and then the worter would rush
in and drownd everybuddy inside
to say nothink of the torpedo
stoppin as soon as the powder got
wet.
Enos McCracken said he thort
there ort to be some law to pervent
the editors of City noosepapers
tellin stitch lies and trying to de-
ceive their subscribers jest for sem
sashion and to sell papers probly.
Everybody present diddent take
a partickel of stock in the artickel
and nobuddy believed that there
was emmy stitch a thing in the world
as a subrnyreen being as its SO con-
trary to nachure.

Tother day a stranger whose

Bingville and stopd at Hen Wealth
ersbys store to buy a seegar and git
warm a spell by the stove, after
he had did which he took his de-
parchure outen the store and Jest
as he was passin outen the door a
noospaper dropd from his pocket
unbeknownst to him.
| Hen who was watchin the Teller
purity clost, being as Hen thort he
might be some suspishus charack-
ter or other Judging by his close
mouthedness, Hen he seen him
drop the paper but Hen diddent
call his attenshion to it Instid of
sayin to the Teller, "You dropd
somethink !" Hen he diddent say
ennythink tall being as he had
dent saw any newspaper but the
Bugle for quite spell and calkilat-
ed it would be quite a treat to git
sight of another paper for a change
SO he said notfink and soon as the
Teller was outen sight Hen he grabd
the paper and hid it fer fear the
chap would miss it and come back
after it iii which event it would OF

diddent see ennythinl of the fellers

back, and when he had had time
to git outen town Hen he got out
the paper and rrbd the dust often

This preamble is all preparatory
