VIVID EXPERIENCE.
Two "bo'’ prospectors came down i
from the “Mountain”, they spent i
four days and about three dollars
in town. After re-couperating over
night in the chilly cold-storage of
the local wooden bastile, they be
gan to hunt for the hair of the dog ,'
that was good for his bite. Then j
they met.
“Get a morning’s morning yet ”
‘ Not yet,” was the sad reply.
"Did yer tackle this place?”
“Yep, and the Connecticut son- j
o-a-wedden nutmeg told me to get
it out’er the end o‘ that hose wat '
yer pump up tires with. Why the
old Silurian b’long to the past
Cambrian and Paleogoic ages. He’s
bean here so long that he’s got
roots between his toes. Bet yer a
chew of terbaccy to a kick in the
razmataz, that he’s bald from
sleeping in short bunks. Why, dis- j
geezer is 3ueh a tiglit-wad, that be
fore de “Bone’y Dry” went inter
‘fec-t, he was ‘fraid to drink his* I
own booze—fear losing the pro
fits.”
Then they grabbed two empties
from the bottle pile, filled ’em with
“Bogan’s" H20, and hiked up the ■
trail toward the Gulch, whistling
“Oh that Beautiful! Horae Over
There.”
