get a 4 foot yardstick down to Lyfords. i was going to get Beany to ask
for it and then they wood lam him, becaus they isent enny 4 foot
yardstick. i jest laffed to think of Beany getting licked. well when i
asked Beany he said he wood go only his father wanted him to go down to
old Kellogs harness shop to get a pint of strap oil to oil some harnes,
and if i wood go with him ferst he would go with me. so i said yes and
we went. jest before we got there Beany said you go in and ask for it,
and i will wait becaus old Kellog dont like me very well. so i went in
and old Kellog was sitting straddle of a seet with big wooden nippers on
it and he was sowing on a harness and he said cross like what do you
want and i said i want a pint of strap oil and he said o yes i have got
some good strap oil and he got down and grabed me by the coller and took
down a strap and licked me till i hollered. then he let me go and when i
went out rubing my legs Beany was jest laffing fit to die and he said
