nose. When asked how the accident happened the colored girl was very

Was it a large object?” queried the doctor
“Oh, tal'able large.” admitied Petunia
“Was it traveling fast?”
“Yes, sah, tol'ably fast.”
“Was 7?" continued the doctor
“Well, if you all must be 50 inquisitive,” declared Petunia, her pat-
irnice at last giving oul, “Ah was jes’ nachelly Kicked in de face by mah
