hafter pay to get into dis here
Fair? 'Cose, I knowed dey would
get all my money after 1 done got
in, but I didn't think I'd hafter pay
to get robbed. Mussy me, Liza, look |
at dat oman on thht trap peeze with
nothing on dis here cold night. I'se
bout to freeze wid .John's onion suit
on much less she swinging up buck
naked nearly about. Well, there
ain't no telling what some folks will
do for money. 1 jest bete her she
makes about 1 dollars a night to cut
up like she do and stand around and
lookputty for de mens to smile at,
but her tigger ain't no better'n .jnine
when I gets my gun metals on wid
dat blue dress I fetched from Filly
Deify last summer. Now what's dat?
Why. ain't he a sight. Lawdy, no, I
ain't goner pay no dime to git in dat
placeV;if he's a fair sample of what
the other ones looks like."
Liza: "Say, let's ride on dat flying
jenny."
Mandy: "Nigger, you ain't sed
nothing to me so far. I'd be a putty
thing a straddle of one of dem
hosses and my dress already above
my knees. No sir ree, not (lis Mandy.
I exposes my pusson some times,
but never to no crowds. I'se modest,
anil dat's a heap more than you can
say about other young ladies around
here. When I was in Filly Deify, a
trifflin nigger tried to get me to go
thru one of dem crazy houses with
him. but I told him he was crazy before
he went in and if he ever got
in there by hisself, he'd be kept. I
don't fool wid no bums in dark
places where they ain't no telling
what might happen. De wind, in dat
house blows a person's clothes 'right
kei' dab over her bead jest as soon
as she strikes de light where she can
be saw by the other fools who had
just passed on and is waiting and j
watching for you.
Liza: "Man' don't dem hot dogs
smell good?"
Mandy: "Yes, dey do chile. You
buy 2 of dem for us and I will buy
dem next time. Lcmme try my luck
on pitching dese here rings. Mr.
Man, gimme a nicke's worth of dem
rings. Goodness, nobody ain't never
winned nothing doing dis. Don't believe.dem
rings will stretch over dem
presents nohow. Gimme .'1 more.
I.ook'y, I almost snagged one, Liza.
Aw, let's go. Dafc ain't nothing but
a humbUrg.
' Liza: "Man, don't dem hot dogs

Mandy: "Who, mo? I don't look
dat crazy, does I? l>at ellyfant wuster
want to, he could twist his snout
around and wring my neck bcfo 1
could slide off. I don't waste my
washing and ironing money trying to
get myself tromped to,death by no
such animal. Well, die is a bum
fair. Buncr Viata Park in Filly Delfy

1 ia so tired, I can't tell which one
of my feet# 1 is walking on. Buy

home. I is done faired all I want
to for tonight.
If You Want To Know.
Home old mean robbers robbed a
bank out in Kentucky the other day
and got 8 dollars and 40 cents, and
they would have got the other 2 dollars
and a quarter if the president
had not of had it in his pocket.
And speaking of banks, / did you
ever hear about the man who endorsed
a noter for his very best
friend and had to pay it and now the
said friend won't even apeak td him?
Moral: If your friends really love you,
let them paddle their own canoe ao's
you can retain their friendship.

Cotton Letter.
New York, Dec. 4.?Private estimates
from the soda jerkers union
of Hoboken caused December to decline
24 points, but the horseback
riders straddled and sold short. Frost
on the punk in was predicted as far
south as Florida last night, but on
account of southern selling, hedging
precipitated a slant in March contracts,
and very few demands were
made for cull money as the man who
has it now seems somewhat deef sinse
the stock market broke .... everybody
Except the rich men who become
richer. The farm relief board is still
busy helping the farmer,-but nobody
seems to know how. We advise raisins
in home brew.
C
An old lady told me that she wes
up at the county fair not long ago
and she saw a hot dog jump out <<f a
frying paji ..aqd chase an old man
home, and from hearsay reports. .1 bit
him right behind the smokehouse,
but 1 don't believe a \yord of it.
Personally I am very fond of fairand
never miss them if I car possibly
procure a pass to same. While
meandering thru one of the tents at
our recent exploitation of the farmers'
effort in our community. Mrs
Jones asked me which of the agricultural
exhibits I liked best and I told
her the "hoochy-ko.ochy," and she
didn't seem to like it, but that's juat
the way some Baptists are.
Yo-yo-ing seems to be Subsiding to
some extent in our city. The school
children have only 3 yo-yos apiece
now, and the old ladies have actually
got down to only 4 or 5. It's funny
how a craze runs its course and is
soon forgot. Remember the walking
stick mania of 19 and 25? And have
you forgot the silver-buckled garters
of 19 and 20? And most of you recall
the ear-bob fad of 19 and 19, don't
you? Bustles were ju<t as prominent
when they bustled a^ some of these
other things, but the extenuation soon
eventuated up to the chest. :ind when
