day, and E. E. was a-goin ' it and seemin 'ly 

 unconscious got to tellin ' about visitin ' and 

 lookin ' over somebody 's apiaries just the 

 day afore. Dr. Phillips thought he see a 

 openin ' agin the editor- of the Sunday-ob- 

 servin' Gleanin 's and he up an says: "E. 

 R., do 3^ou mean that was yesterday or 

 Saturday you done that?" The snicker was 

 on E. R.; but it seems he meant somethin' 

 about Dr. Phillips ' own personal Sunday 

 habits when he right up and says: "Well", 

 anyway, I got Dr. Phillips to go to church 

 yesterday and he got by without dyin ' of 

 heart failure or shock, either." I, myself, 

 think " f^nt'le Amos" ought to have a little 

 quiet talk with both those boys. Any way, 

 they oughtnter get to twittin' on facts in 

 public. Facts is what gives a feller away 

 oftener 'n anything else all put together 

 most generally — and all to oneet sometimes, 



too.

Here 's a feller worse degraded almost 

 than M.-A.-O. was afore he got reformed. 

 He's a Kalamazoo, Mich., man, and he even 

 pays money to say words as what he ought- 

 nter. I want all those particular good folks 

 who used to peel M.-A.-O. alive afore he got 

 reformed to go right after him and take his 

 skin off while he 's still livin ' and hurts 

 most. So they can know him and for what 

 to pile onto him for, I am regretfully com- 

 pelled to reprint the advertisement he put in 

 a Kalamazoo jiaper the other day as follows, 

 to-wit: "Notice — Whoever borrowed my 

 jack screw, please return it, by gosh. Wil- 

 lie Law^rence. " Think of that! That does- 

 n't now seem to me possible, but it's all 

 too true, I 'm afraid. So, you human hide 

 peelers, pile on to Willie, and reform him 

 the way you did me. Don 't leave a inch of
