VI. as far as posiable members must keep out
of enny trubble with wimmen. the Terible 3 does
not wage war against wimmen. of coarse when a
woman has got a husband whitch the Terible 3 has
ennything agenst she must taik her chanct but she
wont be hirt if she keeps her fingers out of the pye.
i have never knew a woman to do that in our lifes.
it aint our falt that she is his wife. she done it
herself.
VII. as far as posiable the Terible 3 will try to
keep out of trubble in school. it aint that we are
scart of old Francis but it seams sumtimes as if he
had got eys in the back of his hed and gnew evrything
a feller thinks befoar he thinks it.
then we all sined. we was going to have 3 or 4
more bi laws but we dident know enny moar roman
numbers and you have got to have figger numbers
for the artickles and roman numbers for the bi laws.
after we had sined it i thougt we cood have got them
from the clock. we dident think of that.
after we had sined it Pewt gave it to me to keep
as i am the president. he sed he had augt to keep
them becaus he is secritary but i told him that artickle
3 of the consecration sed the duty of the secretary
was to wright what was did at the meatings
and dident say he was to keep the paper. so Pewt
give in.
Oct. 13, 186---brite and fair. the secritary of the
Terible 3 got licked in school today becaus he sed
geogrify is the sience of numbers and the art of
compewting by them. he told old Francis he wasent
thinking and old Francis he give him a licking to
maik him think. tonite the Terible 3 comited our
ferst crime. this is the way we done it. we agread
to be studding our lessons at 8 oh clock. when it
struck 8 we wood go out for a drink or sumthing
and meat on Elm strete jest behine Pewts and
Beanys house. Pewt and Beany had got a pile of
ripe tomatose. then we would ding old William
Hobbs door bell and when he come to the door we
wood paist him. He always drives us out of his
yard so we done it. when it struck 8 oh clock i sed
i forgot to shet up my hens and a skunk may come
round. Keene sed i will help you. i sed no i will
do it. what would you do if we met a skunk. so i
went down and hipered over to Elm Strete. Pewt
and Beany was there with their hands full of tomatose.
Pewt tiptode up and rung the bell. in a
minit old Hobbs come to the door with a candle
shaded with his hand. as soon as he come out we
let ding as hard as we cood eech one 3 or 4 tomatose.
one nocked the candle out of his hand and
put it out. one hit him square in the mouth and
squashed. 2 or 3 hit him in other places and the
rest squashed on the house. i wish you cood herd
him spitt and sware and holler. jest as soon as we
pluged him we started running towards front strete
and then went behine the Unitarial chirch throug a
hole in Fifields fense into Beanys yard. i wasent
away from the house more than 3 minits. when i
came in mother sed did you shet the door to the hen
coop and i sed yes. i did shet it becaus i thought
she mite ast me.
