"That's the fat woman."
"What made her so fat?"
"I don't know, 1 tell you."
""Will vou ever be that fat?"
"1 hope not."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to he so
fat."
"Does it hurt?"
"No, I think not."
"Then whv don't yon want to
be so fat?" "
"Because I couldn't get around."
"But you wouldn't have to get

"Hush."
"Why?"
"If you don't hush I'll take you

"Do you have to pav to get

"JSTo."
"But you had to pay to come in,
didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you have to pay to

"If you don't"
"Oh, look there! What's that

"Spinning glass."
"How spinning it?"
"I don't know."
"Then how do you know he's
spinning it?"
"If you don't hush this very

"Oh, what's that?"
"The Circassian lady."
"What's the matter with her

"Would the fat woman laugh?"
"Yes."

"Are you going to hush?"
"Yessum. What are them men

"They are cowboys, showing "
"What's a cowboy?"
"A man that drives cattle on the

"If he's a man how can he be a

"Didn't I tell you that I'd whip

"Yessum. Are they airy calf

"Will you be good?"
"Yessum."
After a few moments of silence:
"Look at that man got on wo

"That's not a man. It's the

"How bearded?"
"Got whiskers."
"Will you have whiskers?"
"No."
"Why?"

You give me the horrors."
"What's the horrors?"
"Come here to me!" She seized

"Ma, what's the performance?"
She jerked him through the door
and dragged him away.

Peter Magerus, residing at 251
Johnson Avenue, Brooklyn, E. D.,
N. Y., says:
During the last eighteen years I
have been using overnfty Axlcock.'s
Plasters a year in my family.. I
have found them a most perfect ex
ternal remedy. They have repeat
edly cured me of rheumatism, to
which I am subject every winter.
They have cured me of pains in the
sides and back three times. My wife,
children and mother-in-law tell me
Allcock's Plasters are the best
remed yever made, so agreeable, so
certain. I know they have cured
my wife of pains in the back and of a
severe cough. My mother-in-law has
been cured of a most severe cold,
which threatened to turn into pneu
monia, by Allcock's Plasters.
