HOLY MOSES! Ever since yer Uncle Jake partook of some of that there prune juice what ole Silas Runhouseer, ther distinguished and ancient chief bootlegger of Gobbler's Knob gave him er couple dozen weeks ago, he ain't had no peace er mind a-tali. This yer counts fer ther absence of yer Uncle Jake's' articles in this gol durn ole humdinger fer nigh 'bout two months. After ther first gulp of theri durn concockshun what ole Silas* makes,* yer Uncle Jake began ter git dizzy; his couple stray hairs on his head stood up straight, his eyes batted and then there was er1 perade er green elephants and pink snakes ,what marched before him in grand review. This yer happened on November 26 and it was jest ther day before yesterday that yer Uncle' Jake was able ter dis-^^M^^^H^H tinguish M a m e ' s
sweet, raspin' voice chirping er Christmas carol, and in-cidently my optic visions beheld her juggling er rolling pin, and at this yer sicilogical moment yer Uncle Jake got renewed ambition, and her wear and tear of ther bootlegger's jag seems ter disappear immediately. CEAZER'S GHOST! Being kinda gol durn anxious ter see ther Jeff's community Christmas tree, yer Uncle Jake hitched u p ther ole gray mule what's name is Maud 'and what's been in ther family fer er couple dozen or more of years", and proceeded ter Towsontown. but bout 'round Lutherville Maud hesitated, and then begun ter walk ^-—^ backward, and she
waBn't er durn bit careful where she was er going either, and when yer Uncle Jake looked back, durn if ole Maud wasn't backing right up on ther honorable Jedge Duncan's front porch, and gittin out, yer Uncle Jake snuck through Shea's woods ter brother Gill Smith's place and borrowed er bucket er oats and er pitch-fork and then snuck back, and when he got there durn if Maud wasn't gone, but ther buggy was still on theV Jedge's porch. Creeping up to ther house cautiously, yer Uncle Jake peered through the windows and nigh bout fell into er fit when he spied Maud, siitting in the Jedge's' favorite Morris chair and in deep mule conversation with ther Jedge's ole colored man. Jest what ther two were saying ter each other could not be learned, but from ther actions of ther Jedge's faith- .

OH, CLEOPATRICK! Turkeys are roostin' so blame high that ther average hungry man'U have ter be content with pig and sauer krout. Don't yer know that ther last time yer Uncle Jake stuffer sauer krout in his stomach that ther durn stuff rebounded and got wedged in his ears, and some feller . on ther street cused him of being er Dutchman and sed he was positive that yer Uncle was one, cause he had sauer krout growing out of his ears, and that there's been 60 odd years ago. I ain't touched none since. Fermented er roten cabbage never tempted yer Uncle Jake no how, no place.
BLOOMIN' IDIOTS! It's nigh about 12 o'clock X. M. and as yer Uncle Jake has got ter fill Mame's socks with something, maybe gravel, fer Christmas, he'd better durn sight git busy, cauae Mame's one of them t^Vre women what yer can't tamper with, let er-lone argue with. Whq that dame kin chuck er dish straighter than any gal I know, and as fer wielding er rolling pin so's it'll never miss its mark she ain't got no equal. Lan sakes, I done heard her dainty tread on ther stairs now. Out with ther light, bottle up ther ink pot and inter bed yer Uncle Jake'll fly, caflse there's madness in ther air, by golly, and I kin smell it.

tree, and my, but wasn't I gol durn mad, caus£ ther place was 8q packed that I couldn't git any father than the door, but yer Uncle Jake wasn't Satisfied with that, so he jest got down on all fours and crawled between them men and women's legs ter ther front line and got er fine vew of ther 'fair. When that little gol blame engine came er rushing out of ther tunnel it was headed direct fer yer Uncle Jake's feet, and ter git out of its way he made er grand rush fer ther, door, and in the stampede er couple dozen people got hurt, 'cause when yer Uncle makes up his pesjky ole mind ter do something, ther's going ter be something doing er somebody's goner git hurt. Towsontown didn't have ther Christmas air that it used .ter have, cause all ther rum mills were shut up tight and ter drink plain water on er cold night ain't very pleasant, even if has got er high temperature.

Indignation.
(Continued from P/.ge 1) skilled physician in times of sickness, and are allowed to do pretty much as they please.
A representative of The Jeffersonian recently went through the almshouse and interviewed some of the inmates. Everyone seemed satisfied and contented. No dissatisfaction of any kind was evident. The rooms were warm and cOmforable, the inmates were clean and apparently well fed, and the general surroundings were homelike. In fact, several of the inmates asserted that they could not wish for a better home.
A number of public-spirited ladies j Sj in the county have in recent years ¦ " taken an- active interest in the welfare of the almshouse, and their ideas; were largely adopted by the County Commissioners in the improvements recently made. A committee, representing these ladies, makes periodical visits to the almshouse arid they have found nothing in the way the home is conducted to warrant criticism.
How anyone could conceive the ide'ft. that "those of the inmates whom the rats do not eat will die of starvation" is inconceivable. Let the writer of this communication come out in the open, give, his or her full name and address, and the name of the supposed physician quoted in the communication, so that the people of the county may know thjP truth. If the conditions at the almshouse are anything like as bad as pictured, the officials and the people of the county want to know it, so that steps may be taken at once to remedy the situation. If the conditions are not as pictured, they want this unjust aspersioh upon the institution retracted.

'cause she arose j"&st like a nice lady mule and pranced to the outside, and then's when yer Uncle Jake remonstrated, er something' like that, with her.
