Safi Lovengood's Version of Old
Earns' Bull Rids.
Well, George, now while y e're waitin fur your
durn'ed fool chain kerries, I'll tell ye bow Ole
Burns finished that ar cnspenkabil bull ride of
his'n. Ye mind new he got outen on the lane as
fast ef a hawk kin fly with the wind, and ef
nize, and fuss, an kicken hosses, an dust an
bees, and thor stinging counts for glory, hit wur
es glorious a start as ever man hed afore, oilers
septic Ole Fill's start agin Ole Buck. He hed
all the nizo:and dust an squ-alin an, kiekiu in the
s%).rt, an he bed th. , orful stingin too, ni onto the
out woin—well h> 11:.d. :\u the only way obi
feller c.,:e the arter the mons.rcus
stioti:ln hi got our in tiry a foot rate nroo
full vu game and j,- os ready es cold 9 , 123.
Gin rue a biiglit omen, what n.o . s are ropco,
far 1:,.!1,:•.1 il.ar han eny thing in
odds have hi they hrlls thar beds.
bring tear ncze tu the bottom ov.i the troll, an
11:t thar to rest thar set's—w , :•ll, they
will. 1 bears a feller once speak a speech that
cettin wur king. He wur an onmolifled d—d
fool, ur warnt a man et 9.11, ur was a tryin tu
clan hit over the crowd : ivitain are king. Just
gin them the issuin out ov what baldfaoe they
thitks rite fur thar purpos, an I'll jist agree tu
he chucked bed first inter the ruver when the
mush ice am runnin, ef they dOnt rule the roast
an coffin ur muney ur good hat d sence be durnd ;
they wont be no whar ef sat again an oman. Now
mine this fie, George, oummin es his dus frum:
the cussedest fool ye ever seed. Hite this :
whenever ye find a thing ye can du yer self, jist
sot a she onto the trail, an of she dont do it fur
yu, I'll bind misef to leav rot gut alone, fur wun
cullinder year,—mine, 010 feller, wun thing ;
she must love ye monsrously, ur yu must pay
monsrcusly, but of she says she will, why the
things dun did.
But about cle Fatty Burns an his express bull
ride. Arter they got outen the lane they struck
a piece ove timber lan, an thar he lost wepun, the
baskit; then he betuck his self to ouwinden the
rope ofcn the bull's hons,an raved hit nun his
lef hen. Squire Mills hes a monerous fitin cross
ole bull, what hes the Frogy Mountain range fur
his sukit this year. He jist goes whir he durn
ed taiuks his self sum apples mong
dried grapes ur Simmons. An he happened tu
be a browsin about in thls here woods, an hear
in Ule Sock a bellerin he got mad and tuck bit
fur a challinge an a insult tu. So he raked up
sum dirt with his front huff an sprinkled hit
over his back, then he dug earn more oaten a
batik with his hens au lifted hit with his fool. an
spread it over his sef, then he tuck a extra
twist ur two in his-tail an busted hit strata up in
the ar : an about this time felt ready tu meet
the devil, bon to hen, of he cum in shape eve a
cow beete. Old Sock and his rider cum in site
a t...rm, an they smelt each other. Both wer ded
game an monerous hot under the collar : sn a
big, veerth shakin fite were moraly darned Bet
tis, Latin a lick ove litenen ore rifle shot inter
win) eve that curls. Es soon as Ole Burns seed
tuther hull, he understood adzactly what wer
cumin an when ; so he leaned his sef back onter
the repo powful, till he pulled the stirip loops
tile an fast onto his shoes, an lie hauled Ole
Sock's n: se an lip way up atween his eyes by the
ring, sorter like histin a raw hide oaten a vat
with a .lion book ; his face looked like hit wer
skinned, or a ded beef's hod onto a live bull's
Body. Ho wur the wust lookin cow brute in the
face ye ever seed, an made his bellerin scan like
ho had the rattles. But in spite eve all this,
Sock steamed ahead strata toards his inimy. lle
didn't keen a single duen for enything sine his
iutercours with the honey makers an his mistifi
ea-hun in that Cr basket. Ole Burns cummerre
ed a snachin blush frum the trees, fast won side
an then tether, es he passed, an a warin ove em
out ever the inside ove Sock's hilted lip, rite
down tot wean his bons. Es fast es he wore em
out toe sn :eh mere. He's the best man fur usin
bee,kirs or brush in an imergincy I ever seed
11—ill hew he'd thrive in a bad muekitter coon
; they'd never get in suckin distance ova him.
But hit all wur hard thr ashin wasted. The two
bellerin mersheens associated—they sot that
hed together like two drunk locomotives wad.—
When they hit, down cum that tails, but they
hilted em agin in a moment an a shakin ova cm
at the pints, sorter like they wanted tu git the
dust onion the bar. The shock fetch Ole Burns
outer the dogwood sadti an enter the neck;
but he crawfished back darned quick, an never
stet eed his thrashin eve em over Char beds an
cy... The ilex time they mixed they corn by
Ftexes, with thar eyes ellet, fur fear eve that per•
petul ineshun bruth. Hit just rained brush well
mex 1 with some elful Short ban cussin. The
buff's a relicts smart kritter tu be cow
bests, au he preshiated adzactly Ole Burn's pow
er with a hanfull ove brush. So while Ole Sock
war gwine thru a gran charg bind, ho took a air
cumbendibus rouu an gin him Marcy's game on
ale Fues, a bueiin hot fire in the ear: He jist
cum in atween his hine laigs an berried hed an
lions thiir ender a full run, a histin Sock's starn
two foot clar ova the yearth, an rite then his
tail cum down with a swish, an he war tuck along
wheelbarrer fashion onto his fore laige, mons
rens fast an powerfully agin
.his convenience.—
With the snollia skid ove his head drawd bier
nur ever toward his curl, the brush mersheen
still in blast an gittiu faster and harder,. an Ole
Burns suaehin ova more. The bellerin an media
were new mixed ni onto es ekril es a keetful man
mixes whiskey and wetter, an the mixtry made
a doleful soon. Et' yu'd bourn bit at haf a mile,
yu'd kuow'd thur wer a heap ove hurtin an rath
a gwine on w her it mom from. Ole Sock wer has
tened in this onnateral, akerd way over a fell
pine tree, an tiler Ole Mils stepped, I spoke to

hit si es a darned feel thing, fur of he'd kep
I that ar hod eve hi9n in cicf:t Oralunion with Sock's

But Lit gin im time tu turn rosin an cum tied cu
agin, the nateral butt fitin way. 0:e Mills hed
h ileeum fear ova the steam brush mill what Sock
kerried, so he cum Lit bites agin, an the ilex
time they met they missed, an the horn run onder
Ole Burns' laig an atween the rope girth an Sock's
side. He gin a twist an basted the girth, swung
( tie Burns an the saddil rouu an rcun a few times
in the ar, and then lent em a big sling, the sad
dil the hiest, an lilt bung outer the snag lim ove
a ded pine, list hi emit' Cu let Ole Burns' harts
sorter tech grout! Thar he hung. He cussed
now in yearnest, en he mixed in is little prayin'
with hit, for he bed a streak eve ekeer in his
ma d. Now, when he faun his sef hung up by
the heels like outer a dead hog, an two bulls a
fain roue I im, his volts wer changed mitily, far
his guts (au he hed a few ova em) bore
down towards his hed, an hit sounded like he
war down in a. well, or hed a locust in his throat.
He bemoaned hie condishun powful, cussed
Soisily awhile es the first cans, then cussed me
jes the imejit cans, Clapshavr es auxillery, an
' talked orful about shot guns, clubs, grave yards,
an the brimstone works onder the kere aye the
dew!. I tell ye hit wee tremenjue, cummin from
a man ova family hung up by the heels tu a tree,
whar two dredfnl ole bulls wer at war. Won
got a runnin go onter tuther and backed him
agin Ole Burns at the rate ove ridgin.filyin, an
toted the ole feller way out to wun side, es fur
es the ropes let cm ; en to make hit wus, he'd
grabbed a deth holt onto a tail, an hilt es long
es he cud stan hit fur his ankils. Then he let
go an swung tick—tick—like onto a darned ole

up, an a snatchin at the roots an weeds, fetchin
his hens full every grab, tryin to stop hiself;

I tell yon now he's got lots ove sand in his giz.

they fit, nun and roun, tarin up the yoath an

agin frum behine slather agin the ole stud, an
kcirie , l im forard this time, an not clock fashun,

him, he tuck tail holt and hilt hit till his shoes
cum off, an he fell smack atop ove the Squire,
beds en tails. He got hisself a good holt inter
each ove the flanks, an locked his laigs roan his
neck, (oh ! he's jist es redy es a cat,) en he made
his arrangements to stay thar all nits, fur he'd
tuck a good bill holt with his teeth untu the tail.
Old Mills didn't onderstaod what wur atop ovo him.
Painter! flashed onto his mind, en all his pluck
ou he jist turnd tail and started fur North

The tickler inter his flanks, the chokin roan his
neck, an' the vice ontu his tail, discumfurted him
powful Ile just mizzled ;an every few jumps,
he'd gin a short beller, en kick both heels es hi
es he cud, but ole Burns war groomed thar. When
he cam to the ruver, over the bluff he loped, had
fast. so ole Burns went Stara fust Es soon ea
he aced the ruver below him, be cummenoed a
climbin the tail, overhanded, but hit warn't any
use ; they both went plum oaten site, an spred
waves for a mile, and the water spred like ynd
flung a three tun rock in. Arter a spell they
cum up separate, an tuck a look at each other,
an I never saw two critters appeatingly es glad
tu part company. Ole Burns swum fur wan
bank, and the bull, for tuther ; they staggered
out and darn the
_Morsel eve dirt either ove em
raked up with their hoofs; they just laid down
tu rest, an eyed wan another across the ruver.
His boys found Old Burns, an hauled him home
onto a sled. bull sought anuther suokit,
an 010 Sock run wild in the mounting. Old Burns
talks crazy like ; see the house is upside down,
an he hears bees a hummin ove nites' and sees
lots ove orful bulls a fain all day. He's swelled
was nur a toad full ove litenen bugs, an brused
till he's black es a pot. All the old quilts ove
wimmen, and 010 soggy men, clams tu visit im ;
the wimmen fans an fixes the bed close, an the
men talks tu him ; an the konklasion le that
Sat—that cussed infunal fool, pest ove a Sat, is
the cause eve the hole kalamity ; an all ove the
bee fifers, men an wimmen, gin in the same var
dick. Hit war orful injestis tu me, kase all I did
in the hole rumpus war just barely to lift a b s
kit handil over Sock's hone; en when I did oven
that, the fuss warn't begun. Arterwards I did
nuthin, but sten clar an watch suokumstanoes es
they rig.
Well, his two big bussin fox-huntin sons tuck
my kase in han, an the fast thing I nowed they
were ontu my trail, with hosses, houns, muskita
and a few of the bee titers. Twor"then I did the
superfine rennin I war spoakin ove. Wan of
the houns outrun the rest along way, an cum up
with the slack of my breaches. I fist tnk his
kase in hand, slit a hole in each ove his years,
and run his bine laigs through em over the
hock, gin him sum comfortin advice with a keen
hickory, and laid him down onto my trail. Ho
locked powful sorry fur what he'd dun, an
went tu travelin Elgin. When the balance ove
the dogs cam up, they sot intu workin on im, an
the two lodged houns hod tu stop tu save his meat
from heirs skattered ; an while they were a doin
that. I wur makin fast time towards my hole.—
just gin a dollar tit swear they'll kill me now
sat tin, of they ketches me, case the wimmen am
agin me. Now they can't furgit thar intimacy
with them ar borninable insex. I'se a goner, I
speck, an I don't keer. I'm no count no how.—
Jis look at me ! llid ye ever see jis Bich a sampil
ove a human afore 1 I feels like I'd be glad tu
boded, only I'm feared ove the dyin. I don't
keer fur herearter, fur hits onpossible fur me to
hr.va arra soul. Who over seed a soul in jis Bich
a nick heap ove bones and rags es this ? Ise
nuthia but sum new fangled sort ova baste, a
sorter cross atween a crazy 010 munky an a
durnd wore cut homminy boater. Ise wan ova
