this afternoon we went up in the barn on the
hay, me and Pewt and Beany and talked over where
we are going to poat up the bills nex Wensday nite
tomorrow. it raned so that Pewt dident dass to
bring over the bills. they are in his shop all roled
up in a role as big as my leg and tide tite. so we
looked at our list and we are going to put the picture
of the cheeter on decon Aspinwalls house. he is the
bigest cheeter we know and everybody says so.
the stork we are going to put on Mrs. Clarisser
Dorsons front door. Pewt says he heard his mother
say that the dorsons xpect a baby pretty soon. so
we all agreed that wood be the place to put it.
we all got jawing about where we shood put the
picture of the elefant. Beany thougt it had augt to
go on Horris Cobbs front door. Pewt thougt it
had augt to go on old mister Gechels store and i
thougt it had augt to go on Fatty Frogs house.
Horris Cobb is the fattest man in town but he aint
tall. odd mister Gechel is feerful tall, almost ten
feet i gess but he aint verry big as Fatty Fogg is lots
taller than Horris and 3 times as big round as old
mister Gechel. so we decided to put the elefant on
Fatty Foggs house and the Giraft on Gechels house.
the hieener we are going to put on the berrying
ground gait rite under where it says we are all passing
away. you know the hieener digs up people and
devours them and Beany says that will go well with
the sine. that was a good one for Beany. i bet
that circus man will say we are prety smart felers.
the howling munkey we are going to put on the
Methydist parsonage. the reverent Josiar Higgins
has got white whiskers on his throte jest like the
howling munkeys and i bet he can howl as loud
sundays. so that is the rite place for that picture.
i never gnew befoar how mutch beter it is to have
things did rite.
we are going to put the picture of the tapir on
my uncle Gilman's house. Pewt thougt it had augt
to be put on Ikey Blums house only Ikey aint got
any house and his shop is not on enny street. Ikey
has a old plug horse and colects bones and rags and
iron. he has the longest nose i ever see. it goes
way down over his mouth. i dont see how he can
eat. my uncle Gilman has got the next longest nose.
his nose is a good deal biger than Ikeys but it aint
so long. but uncle Gilman is lucky becaus he has
got a house to put the picture on. he can blow his
nose so it sounds jest like a cornet. not so good as
Bruce Briggam can play the cornet but prety good.
i bet he will be pleesed that he beat Ikey and Ikey
will be mad, but nobody can have evrything in this
wirld.
