Dick will dare to insinuate
that this is a contest for the state
championship in tall story-telling?
Why he doesn't get back in the game
himself?
If he's going to permit the gate re
ceipts to be divided'by Salsburg and
Burnside without a protest from Mc
Manor?
If the figures up the river are too
good to be thought true or too bad to
print alongside of other people's?
If the Assumption bughasn't crawled
from under the Atchafalaya chip in
great shape?
Whether the Pioneer wants Donnie !
or anybody else to "wait and see"
any longer?
If Donnie and ThaOffice Boy weren't I
only two of several hundred that saw
the gyrations of the insect all along?
Whether The Boy can't congratulate
Attorney John with a good grace?
-and admire the persistency that
won the energetic lawyer a fresh job?
-particularly as tpe outcome proves
The Boy's persplcacity and enables him
to brag that he called the turn?
Whether the Iberville judge hadn't

-'less all the political pickings slip
through his fingers?
-and the universal legatee finds
himself without a legacy?
-and the succession has got to go
into bankruptcy?
If this isn't a great feeding time for
the Donaldsonville lodges?
Whether all the fraternity fellers
won't be having bay-windows if the
feasting keeps up much longer?
If a feller that belongs to several of
the frats isn't in danger of dyspepsia,
gout and fatty degeneration?
If he isn't likely to get so much

-or so much Kentucky turkey that
he'll begin to get hoggish?
-and so much red and white wine
that he'll imagine himself a star
spangled banner?
-and feel blue for a month?
If Caleb was surprised when he
opened the letter from Fellman's?
What he thought when he found
that it contained samples of ladies'
dress goods?
If the New Orleans firm are under
the impression that the young attorney
has taken unto himself a better half?
-or if they merely have an idea
that he wishes to do so?
How Caleb happened to think that
letter was intended for him, anyway?
If he is deluding himself with the
belief that he is the only C.
