Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition

CHAPTER IV
6/16

She got out at the next station, and my own pardner took the vacant seat by my side, and on and on we wuz whirled from the peaceful shores of Jonesville to the pleasures and dangers of the great city.
As I said, I wanted to get to St.Louis the first of the week, but Josiah took it into his head that he wanted to visit his nephew, Orange Allen, who lives in the Ohio, and under the circumstances it wuz not for me to cross him in anything that wuz more or less reasonable.

So we stopped there and had a good visit.

He keeps a dairy farm and owns forty cows besides a wife and three young children; he is doing well.

His pa havin' a horticultural and floral turn of mind, named his two boys Lemon and Orange.

His girls are Lily, Rose and Violet.
