place; that is—the bulls realized that
they were busted. The Federal Re

used to scotch in the stock market,
and Solomon and all his glory are now
trying to figure out who lost the
$47,000,000.00 that the suckers got
loose from recently in order that the
coffers of the wealthy might be swol
len to excess. Anyway and anyhow,
we still think limberger cheese will

deer old s.tndy, my little wife has
do«e fairly well enduring the present
yr. considering of her roomy-tism
andsoforth which has kept me up a
good manny nights with linnyment,
so fetch her a big black shawl to wear
over her shoulders so’s i can get my
overcoat when i want to go anny
wheres and allso bring along a coffee
pot and a box of face powder and a
pr. of hoses, silk, if possible.
oh, yes, sandy: plese be sura to
fetch me a big mushtash cup for but
termilk ansoforth, and how about a
box of tobacker (browns mule) with
a package of snuff for both of us?
and remember a beef knife with a
long blade is the kind i want, .so if
you fetch along a knife with a §hort
blade, you might as well throw It back
into yore sled and drive on. i have 2
of them kind.
Chicken Dressing
The new evening dresses for the
fair sex are made in the following
manner: First, Tie a string around
her waist. Second, Hank about 1 yard
of something flimsy in front thereof
and let the same swing loose to the
knees. Third, Hank about 2 yards of
something also flimsy at the back
and let it drag the ground. Fourth,
Spread something more flimsy than
ever slightly over the chest. Fifth,
Dust her back with talcum powders,
' paint her cheeks, marshmallow her
nose, and there she is: ready for any
thing or anybody. If a good model of
one of these “evening gowns” is de
sired, just grab the first scare-crow
you see.
i want you to f^ch gee niegee a
book which will teech him how to vite
the truth insted of lies ansoforth, and
allso a nice nake tie would make him
look better, as the 1 i give him about
5 yr. hence has wore out, but^he don’t
seem to know it. if it aint too much
trubbull, bring him a pr, of sox with
out green in them, the pr. he has been
using for several months have lost
they shape and folks will no he is
green without the sox being that col
or.
It Won’t Be Long Now j
Bishop Cannon must be about thru i
bishop-ping by now. He did not have'
enough of his kind of religion to ap-1
predate the fact that A1 Smith’s re-!
ligion was good enough for him. I!
have never seen any of our presidents
use much of their religion in the man
agement of affairs governmental.
Some men can have just any kind of:
faith and be reasonable and sensible I
at the same time. Bro. Cannon would ;
do well to stick to his knittin’ from I
now on, and it is possible that old Vir
ginia can make out her ballots with
out his advice. We respectfully advise
and fetch gee megee’s uncle joe a
big feather bed and a feather piller to
match and some good whittlin sticks
and allso a sofy piller would come in
handy for him to use on the coart-
house benches where he loafs anso
forth, and if his aunt minervy knoweJ
how to use a good shotgun in the mod
em female way. i would ask you to
fetch her 1 of them, but i will leave
that to you, as she is a good woman,
but married befoar she thot. come in
my house by the back way as the
house in front of mine is not where i
livej so look out for my beef waggin:
if in dout, rite or- foam befoar you
get there so’s we can be a sleep.
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd.
