Hooper, who you know la it OJd Feller a« well aa a very clever one, wauled to go to the great celebration wbat was to lake place in a few days In Bostou, and as 1 wanted to tee that ' part of tbs world before 1 ueol home, we agreed to go togetJier. and I 81 Monday evenln we tuck paaiaga In this steamboat Narryganset for Boston.

Now you know the Yankee* ses kyew lor cow, nod gives a lood-nUbolh eeuds Htidlour-in-llm-middle sound to all ther words. Well It’s my opinion that it is the shape of lbs letters on thei signs that make* ’em do a, or maybe the letters le (mule by thu painters to suit the pronunciation of the people. In Pllladolfy the tnoat of the signs Is pointed In grato big block letters, and In Now York.

So ynu see what thu Influence of ass-rcisllou Is. After dlDiior wu was gwioe to rmolte our cigara, but jest a« 1 was bilen off tbe rood of mine I happened to look up mid seed a notioe which aed.

I looked at Hooper and lauglied, but he didn’t feel like Uogliin. “What kind of a plane is this, XVI like to know ?” ees he, "I wonder If they allow orsple to eneez* when tbey lake cold ?” I peopoaod to get sum matnlaw and gj to the common. ’’Agreed,” sea Hooper, any altar wbar w* ean brcatlie 'tliout violatin the rule*.'' t sx’d the man iu tlia ofttce, wlml jnwl been lookm at toy cigar all ilia lime, like It wae a rattlesnake, for a match. •’I guess you'll Qnd somo In the •mokln room,”ses he. -•Smoklii-room,” s«s I, "wherV that ?'• •• i mi way, air, T »< * l a and he opened a door of a little dirty room tlml smelled strung «nuS of loimcker smoke to nock a tnen down.
