BETSY-JAIN RE-ORGUNIZED.

I NEVER attempted to re-Orgunize my wife but onct. I shall sever attempt agin.

I'd bin to a public dinner, and had allowed myself to be betrayed inter drinkin several peple's healths; and wishin to maik 'em as Ro-Bust as posserble, I continner'd drinkin thur healths until mi Own becum afflicktid. Consekens was, I presunted myself at Betty's bedside late at nite, with considerbul licker koncealed about my persun.

I hed somehow got perseschun of a hosswhip on my way hum, and rememberin some kranky observashuns of Mrs Ward's in the mornin, I snapt the whip putty lively, and in a very loud voyce I said, "Betsy, you need re-Orgunizin! I have cum, Betsy," I continnered, crackin the whip over the bed—" I have cum to re-Orgunize yer! Ha-awe you per-aged to-night?

********

I dreamed that nice that sumbody had layd a hosswhip over me sevril conseckootive times, and when I woke up I found she had.

I haint drunk mich of anythin sence, and ef I ever have anuther re-Orgunizin job on hand I shall let it out.
