User-Contributed Transcription CENTRAL SHOE COMPANYMANUFACTURERS OF SOLID LEATHERGOLD STANDARD FOOTWEAR ST. LOUIS, MO.SAM'L HANDLERROOM 222 HOTEL HENRYPITTSBURGH, PA.Where is that story of Stephen A. Douglas and the farmer's daughter, undressing for bed? In some anthology, of course; well worth repeating.In Hiram Chittenden's Steamboat Navigation on the Upper Miss', is an account taken from Audubon (probably better in his journals) of the Yellowstone's merry time in circumventing some U.S. inspectors on the lookout for whiskey (contraband).(If you haven't guessed Paul Angle at [Chilfist?], do.)A quick thumbing of Jane Grey Swisshelm's letter might find a gem or two pulverizing some pompous male.For the love of St. Antony, who was that Senator in the 1880s who made the classic speech about Duluth, the centre of the universe? Meine would know at once, if your recollection slips too.Bob Burdette compiled a fat anthology of humor worth your looking up. Has illustrations, incidentally; which reminds me, unclear Eugene Field, hope you're favoring the Tribune Primer. Apologies for belatedness.YoursBranchP.S.- Dismayed at the Rogers wedlock, which means that when he is fired he will still be a Chicago hanger-on. How much longer, Oh Lord?SOB
