A Dog With the Arkansaw Ager.

A man who unjinted both of his shoulders in shakin’ with the ager, And shook a jug of whisky out of a tree forty rods away, and during a hard shake it was not safe to pile wood within half a mile of his cabin, bought a new hat of Ryan, the hatter, and devoured ky-neen just as he would corn beef, until his hull system got so bitter that a dog who smelled of his leg did not get the pucker out of his mouth for ten days. 'Crotain bread, recommended for use ih time of famine, is prepared by making a mixture of corn, maize and beechwood flour, the latter being soaked in water.
