dog, but it was wonder at catching
rats. Moreover, Uncle Jack was fond
of the dog. Uncle Jack had few other
intimates because of disposition to
be rather savage in his conversation.
He imagined that half the people he
met were antagonistic toward him, and
this made him not any too companion
able. SO it was just as well that he
had a warm friend in the dog.

were passing corner grocery where
everybody loafed, two or three by

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, we
have the three celebrated sword swal-
lering brothers, Boo Boo, Baa Baa and
Bee Bee. Will the little boys please
step out of the gutter so that the
water can run down. Now folks, step
little closer. Boo Boo, rne youngest
of the three glorious brothers, swal-
lows a sword eighteen inches long, in
full view of the audience. Baa Baa,
the middle brother, swallows, in full
view of the audience sword twenty
four inches long. But Bee Bee, the
Oldest and more experienced of the
three sword swallowing brothers, not
only swallows a sword three feet long,
but also swallows Boo Boo and Baa

also have the giant Mulalla, captured

Schenck. The big, tall bozo standing
there is named Smithers. He used TO
work for Francis Troy; but Francis
found out what was the matter with
his sheet just in time. He never swal-
lowed anything in his life (Smithers,
not Francis) except what's put before
him at meal time; but I'm paid to
tell you that he swallows a sword a
couple of feet long, and have to stick
to 1t. Sure, it's two foot sword; but
| don't get paid for telling you that
it doubles into itself as he pushes it
