handeled brush and i had to
stand on Beanys shoulder to reech the girafs head.
the picture reeched nearly to the roof. once we
thougt we was cougt but it was only a horse kicking
in the barn. we dident make enny noise and
when we talked we jest wispered. it was almost as
mutch fun as hooking water mellons. then we went
to old Pettigrews and paisted up the boar constricter.
then we went to Fatty Foggs and his dog woodent
let us come near the house. we thougt he wood
knaw us and Pewt hit him with a rock and he yelped
so loud that old Fatty come down in his shirt tale
and a little tin lamp but we was hid behine sum
boards.

then we went to Clarisser Dorsens but it was all
lit up and doctor Perrys horse and chase was there
hiched to a poast. we wated and bimeby old man
Dorson come out on the run and went down town.
bimeby he came back with a old woman and they
went into the house so we coodent put the stork
picture on her house without being cougt and we
put it on Billy Hansoms house. Billy and his wife
have jest been married and last weak the fellers
give them a serinaid. so we thougt they wood be
pleased to be notised. by that time the town clock
struck 2. so we had to hurry and them pales was
heavy. so we come over the bridge and throug
Clifford strete to Coart strete. Pewt he had to go
into his house and while he was gone Beany sed it
wood be a good goke on Pewt to put Jo Jo the Dog
faced man picture on Pewts house because Pewts
father has got long wiskers. so we done it and when
Pewt come out we told him we had put it on old
Hen Dows house and Pewt thougt that was bully.

Then Beany wanted to go in his house to get
sum donuts and while he was in Pewt sed it wood
be a good thing to put the Spider Monkey picture
on Beanys house. Beanys father is kind of thin
and wear awful tite britches and a blew coat and
dresses elegant and so we done it and when Beany
come out with his donuts we set down and et them
and he dident notise ennything.

well after we had et the donuts we paisted up the
Cheeter picture on Decon Aspinwalls house and the
elefant on Horris Cobbs house and the Hineer one
on the berrying yard. we tried verry hard to do a
good gob there and we gnew it wood maik a fine
apearance rite under the sine we are all passing
away. then we come home. father let me in and
asted me if i done enny damige and i sed no. he
