The Bosses Wife Joins the Associated Society of Political Rampagers.

When you heard from me larst I told yer that I hud been called out to attend a lady who was threatened with a spook well making all haste 1 got there quick and lively,, but when 1 pranced into the. house it was a bit late and the spook had got into the woman's inside and had her under control. When I went into the bedroom- she yeled be off I don no yer, what the hell do you want here ? ain't a decent woman to be left alone withouffht coves like- yer coming around. Well knowing that a spook was m her inside I , diapgnosed her .case at once striped her so that there would be no mistake put me ear to ■the pit of the stomikand then heard m|e jo'eker raging like: a wild beest. If it had been a unexperienced 'cove like McLean or Rtissell' they would have said the woman Avas drunk bub I understood the case at once and laid., me liaiids on. Well' yer wouldhardly believe it but the spook ijoars out oil Profieser Sharkey/ don't be to hard on a , poor cove, that once "preached : the wurd.in a .'fine Pr-esby-' teriatt , kirk m this, city oh \oxs to. think .that I- died with thirty thpusahd quids me. a better parsin. than. Jim Gibbs with, all his bully whangs ings; Says I. me buck cut.it short at wpWte whatdo yer want- to roost on a:'ihttri;ie;d< woman's bed fe£ yer damned tihi'ef.? 'quick or I'l lay me hands oh 'yer. Glr lord proßerer Sharkey what' do' yer think, me that preachecf to other coves and thought when I died that ,it was glory straight with a big halo, but no they pitched me strait into hell neck and crop, oh krist it was hot make np error. I .was nearly laying me hands on him but. he whined' tell them proffeser that this dredful /place is full of par;sons, landlords arid usurers the coves that are always going to -the kirk, if yer , knew dear proffese'f how the devils grab yer with pitchforks yer would be sorry. Quick or me' hands will be laid pri so. give; it mouth. Well proffeser yer must no that % >am put on" leave when yef in' hell if you file a petetion or have \a depertation heded by the di vel's under secretary wtio ; is a important bloke these parts (m the flesh he was a bishop) yer can get out for twenty-four-, hours to cool of. Then I laid me hands on and the re. was darkhes for a time as the. candle went out. Now when a great man like me a 'born filossifer tells yer these things, when yer. cant get m a word edgeways either to the. post or times on the ; distruction of the people by landlords, parsons' and other vermin and where the ; only remidy is -to write to 'your- journal "Truth 'f what are we> to* do ? dont yer think that the people should form themselves into an antirparson, antilandlord union so that' poor coves could get justice at present yer no without me telling yer that it has become a question' wether the- parson :the landlord and the usurer will exterminate the people or the people will exterminate them m a legal way. We are as yer no a fine? country but let me tell yer that it is under the shadrdo of the fat man. If it were riot under his shaddo how would child slavery exist m New Zealand m the dairy districts ? a state of affairs that never privaled m the worstimes of slavery m the suthran states. I asked yer a question well I know yer answer it is that the sha<fclo of the fat man is as a, blight on the face of the earth which nobody can deny. Sometimes yer get tired trying to get blokes to' understand true fiUossify spook raisin f and other matters. The bosses wife Madame Sharkey has jined the associated society of political rampagers and fer that reaspn ■] I Wiink there is great hope. f^r. the . future yer will see her at t n £* ; bip ! meeting on the 10th at the towfrihali she intends to put herself well m front anyhow she will be the best looking woman there so yea: will no her.
