away a three-gallon jug of whisky, too, that he found under a wagon when we

was starting home through the woods. The king said, take it all around, it laid

over any day he'd ever put in in the missionarying line. He said it warn't no use

talking, heathens don't amount to shucks, alongside of pirates, to work a camp-

meeting with. ssssssssss

 

The duke was thinking he'd been doing pretty well, till the king come to

show up, but after that he didn't think so so much. He had set up and printed

off two little jobs for farmers, in that printing office -- horse bills -- and took the

money, four dollars. And he had got in ten dollars worth of advertisements for

the paper, which he said he would put in for four dollars if they would pay in

advance -- so they done it. The ssssssssss

price of the paper was two dol- sssssssssslittle picture

lars a year, but he took in three ssssssssss

subscriptions for half a dollar ssssssssss

apiece on condition of them ssssssssss

paying him in advance; they ssssssssss

were going to pay in cord-wood ssssssssss

and onions, as usual, but he ssssssssss

said he had just bought the con- ssssssssss

cern and knocked down the ssssssssss

price as low as he could afford it, ssssssssss

and was going to run it for ssssssssss

cash. He set up a little piece ssssssssss

of poetry, which he made, him- ssssssssss

self, out of his own head -- three ssssssssss

verses -- kind of sweet and sad- ssssssssss

dish -- the name of it was, ssssssssss

"Yes, crash, cold world, this ssssssssss

breaking heart" -- and he left ssssssssss

that all set up and ready to ssssssssss

print in the paper and didn't charge nothing for it. Well, he took in nine

dollars and a half, and said he'd done a pretty square day's work for it.??
