BOB'S PRIVUT NOTES.

(By KING COUNTRY.)

I am in soar distress. W© went to the cirkus the uther nite, an' yesterdy me an' Burn wos praktisiin' sum of the bareback stunts on ole Tommy. Barn is stiff but able to git about a bit. I am bavin' me meels standin'. The ole man larfs every meel-time. There wos a feller there wot rid standin' on the horses back, an' g&llopin' round the ring, jumping thruc hoops an' landin' on the horse every time. We galloped round the hay paddock and jumped over the dose-tine any wen- we cum down Tommy wos gorn from under, un* we cum a cropper. Then wen I tried ridin' bade to front an' forgot the line wos ther, I got scraped orf like a peace er chip an' sat awful hard on the grass. Barn wos too wise to try this after seein' me. Tommy ah™ wos a reettese ole hone enyway. He must be neer twenty now. Things is prutty slo as we ain't feeling like too mucfh hustlin' round. Bill will be down soon. He rang up an' scd he had a grate skeam to tell us ony he couldn't say it on the wire as it was a grate secrxt. We are makin' a Ku Kliix Klan outfit for each of us in the loft an' tuk gum sheets to cut up. Ther will be a fine fuss wen they are missed, but it will be too late, as wo have cut them out with an' old pare of sheers. We are doin' the soin' with binder twine an' a sack needle. It should be strong an' larst a long time. We have not desided wore to go wen wo are fixed up. Bill ees to stick up the bank an' git sum money, but Barn see it would be more fun to bord a passenger trane an' ekare them all inter givin' us there goolry ony we aint quite reddy yet. The perlise baa been down heer several times lately. I wonder wot they"® got wind of now? If enertbink happens in th» district, the first they think of is toe an' Barn. Anythink goes rong—m© an' Barn. I hope they don't know about us smashing the winders in that empty bouse erlong the road. W© had a bet on with Bill, bow many shots to each winder an' Bam put four stones thru® four panes strata shot, an' I finished orf the resit. Bill was quit© gealous. I hope 5n Iris roth he has not split, or there'll be the juice of a row. The peril's© are very down on fellers for winder smasbin' since they cum to such disgrace in the Melbin riot a fu© years ago. The perlise are a fin© body of men I beleave, ony they are not above bribery an' korrupshun I heer, an' it's better to be ther fronds than nenemies thees days. They say a feHer in gale gits a good time if he keeps in with the worders.
