tall, almost ten
feet i gess but he aint verry big as Fatty Fogg is lots
taller than Horris and 3 times as big round as old
mister Gechel. so we decided to put the elefant on
Fatty Foggs house and the Giraft on Gechels house.

the hieener we are going to put on the berrying
ground gait rite under where it says we are all passing
away. you know the hieener digs up people and
devours them and Beany says that will go well with
the sine. that was a good one for Beany. i bet
that circus man will say we are prety smart felers.

the howling munkey we are going to put on the
Methydist parsonage. the reverent Josiar Higgins
has got white whiskers on his throte jest like the
howling munkeys and i bet he can howl as loud
sundays. so that is the rite place for that picture.
i never gnew befoar how mutch beter it is to have
things did rite.

we are going to put the picture of the tapir on
my uncle Gilman's house. Pewt thougt it had augt
to be put on Ikey Blums house only Ikey aint got
any house and his shop is not on enny street. Ikey
has a old plug horse and colects bones and rags and
iron. he has the longest nose i ever see. it goes
way down over his mouth. i dont see how he can
eat. my uncle Gilman has got the next longest nose.
his nose is a good deal biger than Ikeys but it aint
so long. but uncle Gilman is lucky becaus he has
got a house to put the picture on. he can blow his
nose so it sounds jest like a cornet. not so good as
Bruce Briggam can play the cornet but prety good.

i bet he will be pleesed that he beat Ikey and Ikey
will be mad, but nobody can have evrything in this
wirld.

the picture of the boar constricter we are going
to put on the front gait of old decon Eberneaser
Petigrew. he goes to all the chirch supers and eats
moar than enny man there. one time Charlie Folsom
the resterant man whitch makes clam chowder

invited him in and made a hoal wash boiler full of
chowder. Charlie sed he put in a peck of clams and
2 galons of milk and a lot of potatoes and onyiuns
