This showed that he was a nut, 'cause them chaps didn't have no seat in 'em either. Mr. Clarence started his puddln' at daylight, next morning. I didn't like to get up so early, but the ol' pelican made so much noise a feller couldn't sleep so I got up an' set down in the wood box an watched him.

I savied everythin' but salaratus, an' that dope was beyond me a whole lot. I watched ol' Clarence fer a long time an' kept a good look-out fer that dope called salaratus, but I must'a went to sleep 'cause the last I remember was seein' hlmi pour some gun powder that was in a sody can in his mix-up and after that I snoozed. It was 'bout noon when Clarence woke me up and said that dinner was ready. I got up, or most o' me did, my breetches stayed in the wood box. That puddin' looked like a mud puddle an' smelt like a barroom on Sunday morning, it was .teaming hot an' had a holler sound like a drum. I picked up the butcher knife an' stabed at it. That ol' knife curled up like a piece of paper. Mr. Clarence grinned an' handed me the axe. I reared up as high as I could an' come down like a ton o' brick. There was a roar, a big flash an' the fable coiled itself around my neck I saw two teacups, one skillet an' five Joints o' stove pipe sail through the window, and a chair and the wood box met In mid air, both dissolved like sand bags.
