Lily is dark complected and so fat that she looks like a pillar with a string tied in the middle, and Rose and Violet are as humbly as they make but respectable.
Folks ort to be more cautious in namin' children, but they're all married quite well, and we had a good visit with 'em, stayin' most of the time at Orange's.
And I see with joy that the shadder on my pardner's face lifted quite a little durin' our stay there, but of course this belated us and we didn't git to St.Louis till Saturday late in the afternoon.

St.Louis is a big sizeable place.

Mr.Laclede cut the tree for the first log-house in the forest where St.Louis now stands in 1764.

America had several cities all started at that time, but St.Louis jest put in and growed, and now it is the fourth city in the United States.

It's an awful worker, why it produces more in its factories than is produced by the hull of thirty-seven States, jest think on't! And it has thirty-two million folks to buy the things it produces.
