Elbow-Room

CHAPTER VI
17/27

Now, isn't that splendid?
William Penn; one of the early settlers.

I was reading the other day about him; when he first arrived, he got a lot of Indians up a tree, and when they'd shook some apples down, he set one on top of his son's head and shot an arrow plumb through it, and never fazed him.

They say it struck them Indians cold, he was such a terrific shooter.

Fine countenance, hasn't he?
Face shaved clean; he didn't wear a mustache, I believe, but he seems to've let himself out on hair.

Now, my view is that every man ought to have a picture of that patriarch, so's to see how the first settlers looked and what kind of weskits they used to wear.
