October 12, 186---brite and fair. it is jest raning
leeves today. i went to chirch and to sunday
school. Beany sed he was going to raise time in
chirch so as to lose his gob. he sed a feller whitch
was going to be tresurer of the Terible 3 hadent
augt to have a chirch gob, but me and Pewt told
him he must kep his gob becaus if he wasent going
to get caugt when we done tuf things we must be
respecktable befoar folks. we told Beany that if he
rased time two mutch and a feller hapened to get
his windows broak he wood say we fellers done it
and then peraps we cood lie out of it and peraps
we coodent. so Beany he desided to behaive and to
keep his gob, and he done well and only let the wind
out of the organ 1 time and that was when he was
looking at a rooster fite in old man Elliots yard
throug the window, and of coarse when there is a
rooster fite or a dog fite or enny kind of a fite a feller
has jest got to look at it. the only thing that
maid it funier than time was becaus they had got a
woman from out of town to sing in the quire and
she was singing
the voice of one criing in the wilderniss
and jest then the organ went eooowaugh and sounded
like when you step on 40 cats tales to onct and
stoped and then begun again and we cood hear
Beany pumping as fast as he cood and the old bellose
maid a noise just like the braiks on a fire ingine,
like this, chunka, chunka, chunka, and everybody
laffed and the woman set down mad and woodent
sing eny moar.
Chipper and old Hen Dow jawed Beany like time
after chirch. Beany he told them why he done it
but they dident seam to think that was enny xcuse
and kep on jawing him. Chipper he sed he has
stood moar from Beany than he had from enny
feller and that a house of worship wasent a place for
munky shines and this was the last chanct Beany
shood have. so Beany kep his gob but he has a
narow escaip and will have to be moar cairful nex
time.
well after sunday school we met in Beanys barn
and rote out the consecration and bi laws. it is a
old peeler. i had borrowed sum bi laws of a club
father usted to be in and i had rote down a lot of
things to put in and Pewt coppied them after we
had talked them over becaus Pewt can wright so
good. This is what he rote.
Consecration and bi laws of the
Terrible 3.
we Pewt and Beany and Plupy do hearbi asosiate
ourselfs together under the corperat naim of the
Terible 3.
artickle 1. the object of this asosiasion is to brake
windows, to plug green apples and ripe tomatose
and roten cucumbers at peeple we dont like or whitch
wares there best close on a weak day, or whitch feels
two big for his britches. to get even with fellers
and with peeple whitch has done rong to us in the
past or in the future. wether we have to do it
with slingshots or roten egs.
resolvd that the use of slingshots and roten egs is
only to be used when enny unusuel or crool rong
has been did us. and when the punishment must
be sevear.
