Ozork Politics

A stranger had mysteriously appeared and taken up his abode in a small cabin away back in the Ozarks. He made no friends with anyone. Naturally, he soon became one of the chief topics of conversation along the mountainside. On Saturday night, when a bunch of the old he-coons of the district gathered around the stove in the corner grocery in town, they naturally took up this new mystery.

"I'll tell you what I think," said one of them, spitting a thin stream of tobacco juice at the cuspidor; "I think he's a hoss thief and we bqtter look out for our stock."

A second disagreed: "I think he's kilt somebody back where he come from an' he's hidin' out."

A third said: "f'm afeared he's a revenooer and come here to spy on us."

But a fourth chimed in: "I'll tell youall somethin'. I ben checkin'up on him since he come and, in mah opinion, he's a REPUBLICAN."

They all cried at once: "Aw, he cain't be that bad."

"I ain't so sure about that," said the last speaker. "The gol-durned varmint kin READ."
