EIN DOG UND TREE ODER FELLERS 



Dis is all about how Yim, Tuff und me 

 vent duck hunting vonce. Und der dog 

 vent, too, but he nefer hunt ducks. He 

 vas not dot kindt of a dog. He vas vot 

 you call sbecialist; shickens vas his line. 



Yim toldt me dot Tuff haf a blace up in 

 Minnysoda vere he haf been hunting yedt 

 alretty, and vere dose ducks vas a blenty. 

 So ve go mit der cars for dot blace und 

 dose ducks. Ve arrife by dot Glenvood in 

 Minnysoda und git a deam und drife 

 oudt dose ducks to brospest a liddle. 



Pye und pye ve come to a bond und dare 

 vos ducks schwimming, but ven dey see us 

 dey vly to der oder end of dot vater. Tuff 

 und me git 2 poats und take Yim oudt to 

 a mushrat house and tell him to sit on dot 

 und vait till we drife dose ducks up. Den 

 ve shase dose pirds all day und somedimes 

 ve git von und somedimes Yim git von ; 

 but all dose somedimes vas too vide apart. 



So next day ve go mit a vagon to Vea- 

 ton, a long drife. I recomember dot drife 

 shust like it vas to-morrow, begause of dot 

 dog; but I haf not to dot dog got alretty. 

 Ve go pye Starpuck und many oder towns, 

 und eferyvare ve see ducks on bonds or 

 vlying low ofer dose willages, und ve know 

 ve haf in a goot gountry arrifed. By Vea- 

 ton dare is a crick vat vool beoples call 

 der Chippevay river. Dare is tain tous- 

 and duck in dot crick, und ve stay und haf 

 fine fun und shoot plenty. 



But I haf not Yim's dog toldt about. 

 It vas a plack dog, und I dink it vas a 

 nigger in soul dransmigration produced. 

 Near dose towns Yim kept dot dog a string 

 tied to, but in der gountry he ledt him oudt. 

 I pet you a keg of peer to ein pretzel dot 

 you nefer haf seen so goot a shicken dog. 

 Efery liddle while he come to der vagon 

 mit a shicken in his moudt; somedimes a 

 hen, somedimes a rooster, but alvays a 

 schicken. If dare var aroundt no beoples, 

 Yim take dot shicken und wring its neck. 

 If he see coming a feller mit a club he 

 stop dot team und to dot enrached farmer 

 fairy stories toldt. Somedimes he vould 

 say dot his poor liddle dog vas born an 

 orphan und had a Dominick hen for a 

 foster-mutter und dot dog belief efery 

 shicken is his half-brudder und dry to take 

 it home to blay mit him. Or Yim vould 

 say dot his dog so kind a heart haf dot he 

 pring broken-vinged shickens to der vagen 

 to haf dare arms in splints put up. 



Und der furder ve drife der bedder dot 

 dog vorkt. At efery farm house he stheal 

 a shicken und den go back und get anoder. 

 Ven ve arrife at Veaton ve haf a parrelful 

 und sell dem to der putcher und pay our 

 oxbenses. 



You take my vord he vas a fine dog, 

 und to a man in der shicken piziness vould 

 be vorth more as a Klondike.
