Donn SnMANTIIT—Ime a gittin along so splendid up here now that Imo almost a beginnin to begrudge the time it takes me to write letters to you, but ez oirkum- stances is seoh that you cant be hero to injoy the fare and see things fur yourself, I reckon I ort to be willin to stop injoyin myself long Snuff eery day to write you a few lines, bob it they sited happen to be alittle shorter than common sum - times yule kno whets the matter. I wish you oad only be here sumer'e where you cud see me and Sile a ridin in his kar- ridge, with the top let down and both ov us a leanin back ez tho we dident keer a pasnip whether punkine ever got ripe or not, fur I feel about sure that a foo glimpses ov seoh a sight wud make you feel so proud ov me that yude atop growl - in about hard work all the rest ov your life. I dont mind ez I ever bad anybody pay so mutch nobles to me ez Sile dos, and it peers to do him more good than it duz sum fokee to eat to see how match lee kin do torde helpin me to injoy myself, and Banner Ann says herself that she bleeves he wud a heap rather buggy ride with me than with the guvner ov the state. There haint bet) a day pass cense Ive ben a stayin at his house that he baint take the reek ov his underline at the store a put. tin sura ov his mutiny in their pockets, while hede go out in the karridge with me and ride around over the town fur an hoar or so, a tawkin and laffin all the While with ez mutoh vim ez a boy wud stone a birds nest, and eery wunst in a- while he wud pint out to mo how crowds ov fakes on the sidewawke wud stop and go to gappin at us with ez mutch bewun- dormant as the we was both embody most immense, and all the time I wud hav the satisfakshun ov knowin that I was a gittin over mile after mile ov ground without a solitary bit ov expense. By tbe orders of Sile Ime also allowed to boss his teamster around the same ez he duz hisself, and whenever Ime so minded I kin order the clarity to trot out his conveyanoe and giv rile en airin on the bullyvarde, which is the name they call their turnpikes by out this way, and whenever I want to go out to the fare I kin be take oat in the karridge or the koopay and sot down at the gate without its costia me a Dent. I reckon it haint hardly wuth while fur No to tell you that Sites hones goes to their stable in a rather flee melt' kuusiderab'e more Ore kent than theyve bon in the habit ov doin, fur it has altvas ben it uoshun with me that hired hands endeut be kip too bizzy, and evry body knows that it. will kripple the best hoes in the world to stand too mat011 in the stable. Reepin the pores open by exeroi00 is a heap bet- ter than to be evry whip•atitoh payiu out tnunny fur hose medicine. It makes my bones ake now to \Klatt ov the nickels I wasted before I kumakrost Site, in ridin on the hoes (tare, but eery preacher will tell you that the very best kind ov fokes must expeoht to hey sum atroeks ov bad luck. But ez I wits abort to say, Site has ben onkommon clever to nee in more ways than won, and it seems ez 1110 he cant do annff to show that he wants me to injoy myself ez well as a woman a tawltia about a nabur while I hav a chance. The truth is that Ione in plover knee deep ez long ez I stay with him, and he wants me to kno it. He wont let me spend a cent fur Dathin, tho fur that matter I dont try so very hard to do ib, epeshly sense Ivo found out, that he injoys throw. fn munny away about es match as I do a lteepin it in my pocket. When I see that he kuneiders Imo a doin him a favor to low him to part with means to git me sody water and things to eat, I haint got the hart to disappint him, and I wont. $e alwae pears to feel so greeved and hurt when I matte a uoshun tords my pouketbuke that Ivo about stopped doin it. Altho hese got an eatin room in his store where all that me and trim wud eat wudent hardly be missed, yit nearly evry day ho takes me fur dinner to euro big tavern, whore evry thing sot before ns costs him go mutch sollid knelt. Its ker• ins too, what singlet ways they hav at each planes ov giviu a than his feed: In. and ov patio eveything on the table afore the bell nage, like we do at home, and eka.ttet'in the porvishuno around per. rniskus, with the applesaee at wan end and the pinkies at the other ; the per. serves here and the jelly there, and the Beets over vaulter, and the ameerkase in the minter, to say nubbin about meat and pertaters at both endo ov the table, and a pie alreddy ant in the middle, the big taverna here dont hav elteersely anything in eight 10 begin with except pepper and salt. The Net time I went to dinner at seoh a piece with Site I was take by sup. prise so ktunplete at the way they Otto things that I dident hardly kno how to SAL i was es hungry as a curneholler, and yit there wuzzent a ealittery thing fur ine to begin on in eight. A barber who was dressed in better kloze then I over been a preacher hav on in my life, stepped up and handed Ino 8 book, which I'thavt et feet eight tetra sum kind 00 an album, I was jest a goin to tell )tem that I dident keer about readin then, when I notisot that he had also giv wan of the enem kind ov boolte to Silo, which he take and imme$etly opened end peered to reed with all his might. The barber then went away, oz rho he dident keer whether wo got a bite to eat that day or not, but he kum baok party soon and fetched moa tumbler ov ice water, and giv mea towel that I found out afterwards was fur me to wipe my month on. While he was a dein this S put oo my speaks and opened my book. I had aura trubble about boiu able to read it, fur the print was fine and the light non too good, but what I did read only peered to aggervate my appetite. I only read a little ways into the fest chapter, which giv the names ov sone pervishnns that I oant think ov yit without makin my month water, I asked Silo the aconin ov i6, and he sed 1t was a lisb cry the things the landlord had told his wife to git fur dinner. He sed fur me to jest pint nut to the barber what I wanted and he wed gib it far me. When I found what the book was I take a heap more interest in et, but sum - bow I got so bewildered over it that when the barber anus back and leaned down over my shoulder, I oudent tell to save my life whnt I \vented, and so I asked Site if ha wttdent tell the wan what he locoed Ida relish. I toll you theree a big difference between looltin at things to eat on a haubill and Navin mil before you where you kin roach out and slink a fork into um and help yourself. Ito not undertake to tell you the names ov all the things I had to eat per whet they tasted like, but I will say that seoh a meal ov vitbles I dolt bleeve I ever had before in all the rlaye ov my life. I kno I bad at least four different kinds ov meat and two or three kinds ov chicken, and other things anti] I almost felt sorry for the gal who had to wash the dishes. When I got up from the table I felt ez tho I bad ben a vision fur a week. While I was satin my dinner I noblest that the barber was a st u 'n n dt behind my cheer and watchin all my moshuue, and if I started to reaoh out fur anything he wad spring farad and hand it to me. This bothered me more or less, and so I told him be oad go and set down tamers and rest, and when I wanted anything morel wad whiesle. At last I felt ez tho I wad be wiilin to stay on good terms with evry. body all the rest ov my life, and laid down my knife and fork, but jest then the barber kum back agin and carried off all my dishes. It wuzzent many minas tbo until he hum baok agin and sot down before me all kinds ov weddin fixing, seoh ez two kinds ov pie and cake and ice kreenl and watermelon and retains and nuts, and I wont pertend to say what else, mediae all the time a Kevin the eatisfakehuu ov knowin that I wuzzent a goin to hav to pay a pent. When I got up from the table the barber grabbed my cheer and passed me a tumbler full ov toothpilts ez polite as tho I had hie note, and when Bile slipped sumbhin into hie bend he made a bow so sadden that I was afeerd hede break his neck. When we got out ov the house I aeked Sile what the dinner cost him, but he dident peer to hear me a0d immejutly begun to tawk about sum. thin akrost the street. But Ime a gittin so sleepy that I cant see strafe, and so I bleeve Ile quit. Good by fur the present: I am well, and hope this may find you injoyin the same Medl- in, From your 'nein meaner.
