ERY" BUT BELIEVE HIM HAS
CLASSY DISPOSITION THO.
Bay st. Louis, May Is, 1921
Mr. Red Hogan,
New York.
Dear Old Sorrel Top:
AS | previously remarked, | am
still here. not exactly planted, Red,
but pretty we'll stuck to the top of
the ground, the top for mine, all ex-
cept in one of Mr. Pullmans carry
alls in the summertime, then nix for
the elevation.
Red, I'm beginning to get ac-
quainted "bout these parts" yes, l
met Hissonner, the Mayor the other
day, as luck would have it while he
was surveying is domains with a crit
ical eye-I noticed he ran the afore-
said CRITICAL in my direction when
he gave me the once over. l reckon
| must have measured up to require
ments, for he put his disposition
shift into high spirits and we had
quite tetatet (that's what they call
it when you get spoofy with friend)
Well, this king-pin of the burg re-
quires a geographical description,
Red, and as / never took no medals
for bounding states ,or their kings,
I'll just have to let you down with
the fact that HE is SOME SCENERY
when it comes to measurements and
it would take fella what knows the
earth's surface to start any real
bounding of this bird He's got a
Il Inin IrIN
and carries along one of those regu-
lar vote-getting smiles and say, bo,
the wise ones tel me that he's some
cook On a camping trip-well, all
you have to do is to get squint at
that mid-section, and you got about
two volumes of dope On capabilities.
His name? Why, Red, it reminds me
of a spider-not in shape or dlspo,
but in building characteristics, as old
Prof. Dolittle would pause to ejacu-
late. Get me, Red?
While l was chewing the fibre with
Hizzonner "a guy passed driving "a
white nag hitched up to one of these
Fetch-me-home rigs what you still
see at county fairs. "Whozee, Mr..
Mayor" remarks I, "That, why you
haven't met it?" Sayszee, 80, Al,
come here minutep' then he knocks
me down to the Chief Yegg-snatcher
of the force. Say, Red, cross-ma-
heart, I'm darn glad it was the Mayor
what did the "Meet-ma-friend" act,
for that birds got an eye that be-
longs to some Metro-burg where
guy gets real work; yes, bo, he's all
to the ice when it comes to giving
you the size-up. Wow, that bird don't
need no refrigerator in his home, all
he has to do is gaze at the steak and
froze she goes; they tell me that the
that only ''third degree" they use is
that cap look.
Well, says to myself, Fuller, its
up to you to make friends RIGHT
NOW if you care to linger. So, |
tried-But say, Red, whatd' d'ell! You
couldn't puncture that armorplate
with a protector, but they do
say that he's got vein of humor
when it amt lumpy. didn't make no
fool remarks about white horse,
neither, because l didn't want to
queer myself, see, but they say he's
strong for the nag, for when he's on
the trail he never makes extra noise
no matter what gear he shifts to, and
on moonlit nights that Nag is camou-
flaged to a fare-you-well, get me!
He owns one of those Torpedo gas
wagons, also, Red, but that's used IN
case some of them fast-runlng hill
billies get gay and have to be over
hauled. | believe me and Al are go
ing to get along OK, for | am going
to keep on the right side of the fence
and say, Red, APs some BIG game
hunter they say, only he gets them
all blind.
Talking about things that are
blind, Red, that's reminder: There
is more Hootch recipes to the square
nch here than fiddlers in Tampa !;
whv everytime you see two guys
whispering you can play it across the
hoard that it's a new one some feila
is springing on a neighbor. You can
load I'D any old time, but you got to
keep YOUR lamps on the kick for IL S
got SO MUCH that if you were to
paint the boards in your barn with 1t
the chances are that it would KICK
all the partitions out before morning.
Blackberries are getting ripe mere
now, and SOS the time, what! Not so
lone ago the Revenoos made RAID
along these parts and they got a lot
of the more curious-I say the more
Curious, Red, for it was curlouslty
that done the job, you see it was this
way: The Revenoos got to showing
| off over the County in an airplane,
and all them hill-billies left the works
TO view the bird--so they got line
on them and-well you know now
Red. But they got to be out-run
these days, bo, no walking IN tne
trap NO MORE. :,
An old geezer was telling me that
this hootch making game is now be-
inc played by everybody in the coun-
tv. and some of the best looking girls
are the most expert; that's living uI
TO the line, amt it Red? / got me
about 40 Of them different kind OF
recipes and when I get back, me anc
YOU will open little dispensary, Reo
and give these about three trips ts
the bat. They've got one they cal
White-Lightning, bo, and it's dounie
guaranteed to strike out BaDe Rutf
every time he shows up-WOW! 30,
had one strike at it thought | wa
beaned for keeps-Tm not qui,t'
ready to be measured for one OF 1n'
suits what buttons up in the back, 81
/ I'u Law off, but the next time | Wrlt'
| I'll tell you what some OF these otner
are. r:4 au;a,.
