The Aird or Dammynile
This kind Animal is allways so pleased to see you. He is very enterprising and has a funny way of contrackting himself and getting into the bed of a river and blocking it all up till it runs over. I should think the whole place will be full of crockerdials and irrigators and things. He has such a bewtifull beard—it looks as if he would make a very nice prophet, dont you think so
