OR, THE WORLD HAS CHANGED. 109 



I think lie ought to be switchulated. I could not stand it any 

 longer, but sprang out of the bed on both feet in a shout of 

 laughter, when ray cousin, Sloan Benson, jerked off his coat 

 and swore he could whip any d — d broken-legged rascal in 

 America, and it took all the boys and the Doctor to hold him 

 off of me until he sorter coolsd down; but I soon made it up 

 with the boys, and as we were all in sympathy with eachother 

 about going to the frolic, it was agreed all around to keep the 

 whole matter from Mr. Kennedy.
