the Spirit,
D. RING LARDkSs

VI up In Yonkers talking about what
terrible spirits you get around N. Y.
now days and l OF the birds In the
party name Herb says he knew where
they was some beautiful spirits and
We said lead us to 1t and he took US
down to IS st. and 5 ave. and they was n
doctors name on the door and l said
to myself this guy will probably give
us q prescription that will knock us
for Z goal. But the doc took us In a
inside room and introduced us TO a
lady whom they all call Medic, witch
/ learn was short for Medium SO you
see the kind OF spirits we got and the
kind We thought We was going to get
was 2 different kinds of spirits. Medic
was Z Medium rare blonde lady thai
could Of lose 80 or 40 pounds and still
talk back to Gene Tunney.
Well, pretty soon Medic and the doc
and our party went into still another
room yet where they was about %
other guests mostly female that looked
like the end of a perfect wash day. A
alma mater of Oberlin college asst me
to look at q kind Of a close line thar
was stretched acrost the room and on
1t wal q bunch OF toys such as dolls
and coolies and etc. witch Medic had
told her was for the baby spirits to
play with when they got cross.
We vas all put around In a circle
like Yale learning their signals In the
4th quarter. l set next to Jack and
his Mrs. from Yonkers and the rest OF
we skepticals vas scattered around
amidst the believers.
rs there somebody here name X"
says Medic 10 l says yes It was me.
This IL Edward" says the spirit and
Medic asst me II l had a brother Ed.
ward and ! says yes. So Medic says
This Is your brother Edward that
was killed In a accident a long vile
ago wasn't he" So l says yes 8 yrs.
ago. Then Edward said Hello there
and l said hello Edward how are you
and he said hello there and | couldn't
refute 1t so he left the field with the
last word and give his megaphone to
a Irish comedian.
"Oh, here's Pat O'Brien" says the
doc. HE Is a funny Irishman that is
with u every night, get his brogue.
So then Pat told a Irish story that
died even longer ago than Edward,
but you don't feel like razzing the
spirit so everybody laughed the right
amount
Before the darkness had fell l had
noticed a bird setting yer to the left
Of me that was a countryman Of Nora
Holmer and nov all of a sudden q
spirit spoke to him in Norski and he
answered back In the same strain and
l never understood Norway before but
as soon az these birds begin to talk ]
knew they was saying hello Knut hello
there and etc. Pretty o o Medic
turned to the live ski jumper and told
him his mother was going to die.
she was all right the last time |
e e her" says Ellert. swell she IL
going to die" says Medic and personly
l think she was right as Ellert was
around Is yrA old and when 4 mar

never trying out for the vassar basket
ball team.
"Here's a beautiful spirit, who does
he want" says Medic next. HE says

he was on the river one In 4 boat
when he was 4 little boy and was
saved from drowning and he says
something about a dog. Did a dog ever
swim out and save your father from
drowningf"
"Well no" says Herb after a terrible
pause. "But Z dog barked and reused
up the neighbors and they come to the
rescue"

doc and several female voices says
