+
+          AH, how oft we read or hear of
+          Boys we almost stand in fear of!
+          For example, take these stories
+          Of two youths, named Max and Maurice,
+          Who, instead of early turning
+          Their young minds to useful learning,
+          Often leered with horrid features
+          At their lessons and their teachers.
+          Look now at the empty head: he
+          Is for mischief always ready.
+          Teasing creatures, climbing fences,
+          Stealing apples, pears, and quinces,
+          Is, of course, a deal more pleasant,
+          And far easier for the present,
+          Than to sit in schools or churches,
+          Fixed like roosters on their perches.
+          But O dear, O dear, O deary,
+          When the end comes sad and dreary!
+          'Tis a dreadful thing to tell
+          That on Max and Maurice fell!
+          All they did this book rehearses,
+          Both in pictures and in verses.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FIRST.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          TO most people who have leisure
+          Raising poultry gives great pleasure
+          First, because the eggs they lay us
+          For the care we take repay us;
+          Secondly, that now and then
+          We can dine on roasted hen;
+          Thirdly, of the hen's and goose's
+          Feathers men make various uses.
+          Some folks like to rest their heads
+          In the night on feather beds.
+          One of these was Widow Tibbets,
+          Whom the cut you see exhibits.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Hens were hers in number three,
+          And a cock of majesty.
+          Max and Maurice took a view;
+          Fell to thinking what to do.
+          One, two, three! as soon as said,
+          They have sliced a loaf of bread,
+          Cut each piece again in four,
+          Each a finger thick, no more.
+          These to two cross-threads they tie,
+          Like a letter X they lie
+          In the widow's yard, with care
+          Stretched by those two rascals there.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Scarce the cock had seen the sight,
+          When he up and crew with might:
+          Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo;--
+          Tack, tack, tack, the trio flew.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Cock and hens, like fowls unfed,
+          Gobbled each a piece of bread;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But they found, on taking thought,
+          Each of them was badly caught.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Every way they pull and twitch,
+          This strange cat's-cradle to unhitch;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Up into the air they fly,
+          Jiminee, O Jimini!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On a tree behold them dangling,
+          In the agony of strangling!
+          And their necks grow long and longer,
+          And their groans grow strong and stronger.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Each lays quickly one egg more,
+          Then they cross to th' other shore.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Widow Tibbets in her chamber,
+          By these death-cries waked from slumber,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Rushes out with bodeful thought:
+          Heavens! what sight her vision caught!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          From her eyes the tears are streaming:
+          "Oh, my cares, my toil, my dreaming!
+          Ah, life's fairest hope," says she,
+          "Hangs upon that apple-tree."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Heart-sick (you may well suppose),
+          For the carving-knife she goes;
+          Cuts the bodies from the bough,
+          Hanging cold and lifeless now
+          And in silence, bathed in tears,
+          Through her house-door disappears.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          This was the bad boys' first trick,
+          But the second follows quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK SECOND.
+
+
+          WHEN the worthy Widow Tibbets
+          (Whom the cut below exhibits)
+          Had recovered, on the morrow,
+          From the dreadful shock of sorrow,
+          She (as soon as grief would let her
+          Think) began to think 'twere better
+          Just to take the dead, the dear ones
+          (Who in life were walking here once),
+          And in a still noonday hour
+          Them, well roasted, to devour.
+          True, it did seem almost wicked,
+          When they lay so bare and naked,
+          Picked, and singed before the blaze,--
+          They that once in happier days,
+          In the yard or garden ground,
+          All day long went scratching round.
+          Ah! Frau Tibbets wept anew,
+          And poor Spitz was with her, too.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice smelt the savor.
+          "Climb the roof!" cried each young shaver.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Through the chimney now, with pleasure,
+          They behold the tempting treasure,
+          Headless, in the pan there, lying,
+          Hissing, browning, steaming, frying.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          At that moment down the cellar
+          (Dreaming not what soon befell her)
+          Widow Tibbets went for sour
+          Krout, which she would oft devour
+          With exceeding great desire
+          (Warmed a little at the fire).
+          Up there on the roof, meanwhile,
+          They are doing things in style.
+          Max already with forethought
+          A long fishing-line has brought.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Schnupdiwup! there goes, O Jeminy!
+          One hen dangling up the chimney.
+          Schnupdiwup! a second bird!
+          Schnupdiwup! up comes the third!
+          Presto! number four they haul!
+          Schnupdiwup! we have them all!--
+          Spitz looks on, we must allow,
+          But he barks: Row-wow! Row-wow!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the rogues are down instanter
+          From the roof, and off they canter.--
+          Ha! I guess there'll be a humming;
+          Here's the Widow Tibbets coming!
+          Rooted stood she to the spot,
+          When the pan her vision caught.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Gone was every blessed bird!
+          "Horrid Spitz!" was her first word.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "O you Spitz, you monster, you!
+          Let me beat him black and blue!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And the heavy ladle, thwack!
+          Comes down on poor Spitz's back!
+          Loud he yells with agony,
+          For he feels his conscience free.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice, dinner over,
+          In a hedge, snored under cover;
+          And of that great hen-feast now
+          Each has but a leg to show
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was now the second trick,
+          But the third will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK THIRD.
+
+
+          THROUGH the town and country round
+          Was one Mr. Buck renowned.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Sunday coats, and week-day sack-coats,
+          Bob-tails, swallow-tails, and frock coats,
+          Gaiters, breeches, hunting-jackets;
+          Waistcoats, with commodious pockets,--
+          And other things, too long to mention,
+          Claimed Mr. Tailor Buck's attention.
+          Or, if any thing wanted doing
+          In the way of darning, sewing,
+          Piecing, patching,--if a button
+          Needed to be fixed or put on,--
+          Any thing of any kind,
+          Anywhere, before, behind,--
+          Master Buck could do the same,
+          For it was his life's great aim.
+          Therefore all the population
+          Held him high in estimation.
+          Max and Maurice tried to invent
+          Ways to plague this worthy gent.
+          Right before the Sartor's dwelling
+          Ran a swift stream, roaring, swelling.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          This swift stream a bridge did span,
+          And the road across it ran.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice (naught could awe them!)
+          Took a saw, when no one saw them:
+          Ritze-ratze! riddle-diddle!
+          Sawed a gap across the middle.
+          When this feat was finished well,
+          Suddenly was heard a yell:
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Hallo, there! Come out, you buck!
+          Tailor, Tailor, muck! muck! muck!"
+          Buck could bear all sorts of jeering,
+          Jibes and jokes in silence hearing;
+          But this insult roused such anger,
+          Nature couldn't stand it longer.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Wild with fury, up he started,
+          With his yard-stick out he darted;
+          For once more that frightful jeer,
+          "Muck! muck! muck!" rang loud and clear.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On the bridge one leap he makes;
+          Crash! beneath his weight it breaks.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Once more rings the cry, "Muck! muck!"
+          _In_, headforemost, plumps poor Buck!
+          While the scared boys were skedaddling,
+          Down the brook two geese came paddling.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On the legs of these two geese,
+          With a death-clutch, Buck did seize;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And, with both geese _well in hand_,
+          Flutters out upon dry land.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          For the rest he did not find
+          Things exactly to his mind.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon it proved poor Buck had brought a
+          Dreadful belly-ache from the water.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Noble Mrs. Buck! She rises
+          Fully equal to the crisis;
+          With a hot flat-iron, she
+          Draws the cold out famously.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon 'twas in the mouths of men,
+          All through town: "Buck's up again!"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' third trick,
+          But the fourth will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FOURTH.
+
+
+          AN old saw runs somewhat so:
+          Man must learn while here below.--
+          Not alone the A, B, C,
+          Raises man in dignity;
+          Not alone in reading, writing,
+          Reason finds a work inviting;
+          Not alone to solve the double
+          Rule of Three shall man take trouble:
+          But must hear with pleasure Sages
+          Teach the wisdom of the ages.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Of this wisdom an example
+          To the world was Master Lämpel.
+          For this cause, to Max and Maurice
+          This man was the chief of horrors;
+          For a boy who loves bad tricks
+          Wisdom's friendship never seeks.
+          With the clerical profession
+          Smoking always was a passion;
+          And this habit without question,
+          While it helps promote digestion,
+          Is a comfort no one can
+          Well begrudge a good old man,
+          When the day's vexations close,
+          And he sits to seek repose.--
+          Max and Maurice, flinty-hearted,
+          On another trick have started;
+          Thinking how they may attack a
+          Poor old man through his tobacco.
+          Once, when Sunday morning breaking,
+          Pious hearts to gladness waking,
+          Poured its light where, in the temple,
+          At his organ sate Herr Lämpel,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          These bad boys, for mischief ready,
+          Stole into the good man's study,
+          Where his darling meerschaum stands.
+          This, Max holds in both his hands;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          While young Maurice (scapegrace born!)
+          Climbs, and gets the powderhorn,
+          And with speed the wicked soul
+          Pours the powder in the bowl.
+          Hush, and quick! now, right about!
+          For already church is out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Lämpel closes the church-door,
+          Glad to seek his home once more;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          All his service well got through,
+          Takes his keys, and music too,
+          And his way, delighted, wends
+          Homeward to his silent friends.
+          Full of gratitude he there
+          Lights his pipe, and takes his chair.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Ah!" he says, "no joy is found
+          Like contentment on earth's round!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Fizz! whizz! bum! The pipe is burst,
+          Almost shattered into dust.
+          Coffee-pot and water-jug,
+          Snuff-box, ink-stand, tumbler, mug,
+          Table, stove, and easy-chair,
+          All are flying through the air
+          In a lightning-powder-flash,
+          With a most tremendous crash.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          When the smoke-cloud lifts and clears,
+          Lämpel on his back appears;
+          God be praised! still breathing there,
+          Only somewhat worse for wear.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Nose, hands, eyebrows (once like yours),
+          Now are black as any Moor's;
+          Burned the last thin spear of hair,
+          And his pate is wholly bare.
+          Who shall now the children guide,
+          Lead their steps to wisdom's side?
+          Who shall now for Master Lämpel
+          Lead the service in the temple?
+          Now that his old pipe is out,
+          Shattered, smashed, _gone up the spout_?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Time will heal the rest once more,
+          But the pipe's best days are o'er.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' fourth trick,
+          But the fifth will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FIFTH.
+
+
+          IF, in village or in town,
+          You've an uncle settled down,
+          Always treat him courteously;
+          Uncle will be pleased thereby.
+          In the morning: "'Morning to you!
+          Any errand I can do you?"
+          Fetch whatever he may need,--
+          Pipe to smoke, and news to read;
+          Or should some confounded thing
+          Prick his back, or bite, or sting,
+          Nephew then will be near by,
+          Ready to his help to fly;
+          Or a pinch of snuff, maybe,
+          Sets him sneezing violently:
+          "Prosit! uncle! good health to you!
+          God be praised! much good may't do you!"
+          Or he comes home late, perchance:
+          Pull his boots off then at once,
+          Fetch his slippers and his cap,
+          And warm gown his limbs to wrap.
+          Be your constant care, good boy,
+          What shall give your uncle joy.
+          Max and Maurice (need I mention?)
+          Had not any such intention.
+          See now how they tried their wits--
+          These bad boys--on Uncle Fritz.
+          What kind of a bird a May-
+          Bug was, _they_ knew, I dare say;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In the trees they may be found,
+          Flying, crawling, wriggling round.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice, great pains taking,
+          From a tree these bugs are shaking.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In their cornucopiæ papers,
+          They collect these pinching creepers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon they are deposited
+          In the foot of uncle's bed!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          With his peaked nightcap on,
+          Uncle Fritz to bed has gone;
+          Tucks the clothes in, shuts his eyes,
+          And in sweetest slumber lies.

+          Straight at Uncle Fritzy's nose.

+
+          "Baugh!" he cries: "what have we here?"

+TRICK SIXTH.
+
+
+          EASTER days have come again,
+          When the pious baker men
+          Bake all sorts of sugar things,
+          Plum-cakes, ginger-cakes, and rings.
+          Max and Maurice feel an ache
+          In their sweet-tooth for some cake.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the Baker thoughtfully
+          Locks his shop, and takes the key.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Who would steal, then, _this_ must do:
+          Wriggle down the chimney-flue.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Ratsch! There come the boys, my Jiminy!
+          Black as ravens, down the chimney.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Puff! into a chest they drop,
+          Full of flour up to the top.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Out they crawl from under cover
+          Just as white as chalk all over.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the cracknels, precious treasure,
+          On a shelf they spy with pleasure.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Knacks! The chair breaks! down they go--
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Schwapp!--into a trough of dough!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          All enveloped now in dough,
+          See them, monuments of woe.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In the Baker comes, and snickers
+          When he sees the sugar-lickers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          One, two, three! the brats, behold!
+          Into two good _brots_ are rolled.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          There's the oven, all red-hot,--
+          Shove 'em in as quick as thought.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Ruff! out with 'em from the heat,
+          They are brown and good to eat.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Now you think they've _paid the debt_!
+          No, my friend, they're living yet.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Knusper! Knasper! like two mice
+          Through their roofs they gnaw in a trice;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And the Baker cries, "You bet!
+          There's the rascals living yet!"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' sixth trick,
+          But the last will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+LAST TRICK
+
+
+          MAX and Maurice! I grow sick,
+          When I think on your last trick.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Why must these two scalawags
+          Cut those gashes in the bags?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          See! the farmer on his back
+          Carries corn off in a sack.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Scarce has he begun to travel,
+          When the corn runs out like gravel.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          All at once he stops and cries:
+          "Darn it! I see where it lies!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Ha! with what delighted eyes
+          Max and Maurice he espies.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Rabs! he opens wide his sack,
+          Shoves the rogues in--Hukepack!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          It grows warm with Max and Maurice,
+          For to mill the farmer hurries.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Master Miller! Hallo, man!
+          Grind me _that_ as quick as you can!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "In with 'em!" Each wretched flopper
+          Headlong goes into the hopper.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          As the farmer turns his back, he
+          Hears the mill go "creaky! cracky!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Here you see the bits _post mortem_,
+          Just as Fate was pleased to sort 'em.

+          Master Miller's ducks with speed
+          Gobbled up the coarse-grained feed.

+CONCLUSION.
+
+
+          IN the village not a word,
+          Not a sign, of grief, was heard.
+          Widow Tibbets, speaking low,
+          Said, "I thought it would be so!"
+          "None but self," cried Buck, "to blame!
+          Mischief is not life's true aim!"
+          Then said gravely Teacher Lämpel,
+          "There again is an example!"
+          "To be sure! bad thing for youth,"
+          Said the Baker, "a sweet tooth!"
+          Even Uncle says, "Good folks!
+          See what comes of stupid jokes!"
+          But the honest farmer: "Guy!
+          What concern is that to I?"
+          Through the place in short there went
+          One wide murmur of content:
+          "God be praised! the town is free
+          From this great rascality!"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *

+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+PREFACE.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          AH, how oft we read or hear of
+          Boys we almost stand in fear of!
+          For example, take these stories
+          Of two youths, named Max and Maurice,
+          Who, instead of early turning
+          Their young minds to useful learning,
+          Often leered with horrid features
+          At their lessons and their teachers.
+          Look now at the empty head: he
+          Is for mischief always ready.
+          Teasing creatures, climbing fences,
+          Stealing apples, pears, and quinces,
+          Is, of course, a deal more pleasant,
+          And far easier for the present,
+          Than to sit in schools or churches,
+          Fixed like roosters on their perches.
+          But O dear, O dear, O deary,
+          When the end comes sad and dreary!
+          'Tis a dreadful thing to tell
+          That on Max and Maurice fell!
+          All they did this book rehearses,
+          Both in pictures and in verses.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FIRST.
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          TO most people who have leisure
+          Raising poultry gives great pleasure
+          First, because the eggs they lay us
+          For the care we take repay us;
+          Secondly, that now and then
+          We can dine on roasted hen;
+          Thirdly, of the hen's and goose's
+          Feathers men make various uses.
+          Some folks like to rest their heads
+          In the night on feather beds.
+          One of these was Widow Tibbets,
+          Whom the cut you see exhibits.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Hens were hers in number three,
+          And a cock of majesty.
+          Max and Maurice took a view;
+          Fell to thinking what to do.
+          One, two, three! as soon as said,
+          They have sliced a loaf of bread,
+          Cut each piece again in four,
+          Each a finger thick, no more.
+          These to two cross-threads they tie,
+          Like a letter X they lie
+          In the widow's yard, with care
+          Stretched by those two rascals there.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Scarce the cock had seen the sight,
+          When he up and crew with might:
+          Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo;--
+          Tack, tack, tack, the trio flew.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Cock and hens, like fowls unfed,
+          Gobbled each a piece of bread;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But they found, on taking thought,
+          Each of them was badly caught.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Every way they pull and twitch,
+          This strange cat's-cradle to unhitch;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Up into the air they fly,
+          Jiminee, O Jimini!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On a tree behold them dangling,
+          In the agony of strangling!
+          And their necks grow long and longer,
+          And their groans grow strong and stronger.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Each lays quickly one egg more,
+          Then they cross to th' other shore.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Widow Tibbets in her chamber,
+          By these death-cries waked from slumber,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Rushes out with bodeful thought:
+          Heavens! what sight her vision caught!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          From her eyes the tears are streaming:
+          "Oh, my cares, my toil, my dreaming!
+          Ah, life's fairest hope," says she,
+          "Hangs upon that apple-tree."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Heart-sick (you may well suppose),
+          For the carving-knife she goes;
+          Cuts the bodies from the bough,
+          Hanging cold and lifeless now
+          And in silence, bathed in tears,
+          Through her house-door disappears.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          This was the bad boys' first trick,
+          But the second follows quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK SECOND.
+
+
+          WHEN the worthy Widow Tibbets
+          (Whom the cut below exhibits)
+          Had recovered, on the morrow,
+          From the dreadful shock of sorrow,
+          She (as soon as grief would let her
+          Think) began to think 'twere better
+          Just to take the dead, the dear ones
+          (Who in life were walking here once),
+          And in a still noonday hour
+          Them, well roasted, to devour.
+          True, it did seem almost wicked,
+          When they lay so bare and naked,
+          Picked, and singed before the blaze,--
+          They that once in happier days,
+          In the yard or garden ground,
+          All day long went scratching round.
+          Ah! Frau Tibbets wept anew,
+          And poor Spitz was with her, too.
+

+
+          Max and Maurice smelt the savor.
+          "Climb the roof!" cried each young shaver.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Through the chimney now, with pleasure,
+          They behold the tempting treasure,
+          Headless, in the pan there, lying,
+          Hissing, browning, steaming, frying.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          At that moment down the cellar
+          (Dreaming not what soon befell her)
+          Widow Tibbets went for sour
+          Krout, which she would oft devour
+          With exceeding great desire
+          (Warmed a little at the fire).
+          Up there on the roof, meanwhile,
+          They are doing things in style.
+          Max already with forethought
+          A long fishing-line has brought.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Schnupdiwup! there goes, O Jeminy!
+          One hen dangling up the chimney.
+          Schnupdiwup! a second bird!
+          Schnupdiwup! up comes the third!
+          Presto! number four they haul!
+          Schnupdiwup! we have them all!--
+          Spitz looks on, we must allow,
+          But he barks: Row-wow! Row-wow!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the rogues are down instanter
+          From the roof, and off they canter.--
+          Ha! I guess there'll be a humming;
+          Here's the Widow Tibbets coming!
+          Rooted stood she to the spot,
+          When the pan her vision caught.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Gone was every blessed bird!
+          "Horrid Spitz!" was her first word.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "O you Spitz, you monster, you!
+          Let me beat him black and blue!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And the heavy ladle, thwack!
+          Comes down on poor Spitz's back!
+          Loud he yells with agony,
+          For he feels his conscience free.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice, dinner over,
+          In a hedge, snored under cover;
+          And of that great hen-feast now
+          Each has but a leg to show
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was now the second trick,
+          But the third will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK THIRD.
+
+
+          THROUGH the town and country round
+          Was one Mr. Buck renowned.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Sunday coats, and week-day sack-coats,
+          Bob-tails, swallow-tails, and frock coats,
+          Gaiters, breeches, hunting-jackets;
+          Waistcoats, with commodious pockets,--
+          And other things, too long to mention,
+          Claimed Mr. Tailor Buck's attention.
+          Or, if any thing wanted doing
+          In the way of darning, sewing,
+          Piecing, patching,--if a button
+          Needed to be fixed or put on,--
+          Any thing of any kind,
+          Anywhere, before, behind,--
+          Master Buck could do the same,
+          For it was his life's great aim.
+          Therefore all the population
+          Held him high in estimation.
+          Max and Maurice tried to invent
+          Ways to plague this worthy gent.
+          Right before the Sartor's dwelling
+          Ran a swift stream, roaring, swelling.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          This swift stream a bridge did span,
+          And the road across it ran.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice (naught could awe them!)
+          Took a saw, when no one saw them:
+          Ritze-ratze! riddle-diddle!
+          Sawed a gap across the middle.
+          When this feat was finished well,
+          Suddenly was heard a yell:
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Hallo, there! Come out, you buck!
+          Tailor, Tailor, muck! muck! muck!"
+          Buck could bear all sorts of jeering,
+          Jibes and jokes in silence hearing;
+          But this insult roused such anger,
+          Nature couldn't stand it longer.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Wild with fury, up he started,
+          With his yard-stick out he darted;
+          For once more that frightful jeer,
+          "Muck! muck! muck!" rang loud and clear.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On the bridge one leap he makes;
+          Crash! beneath his weight it breaks.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Once more rings the cry, "Muck! muck!"
+          _In_, headforemost, plumps poor Buck!
+          While the scared boys were skedaddling,
+          Down the brook two geese came paddling.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          On the legs of these two geese,
+          With a death-clutch, Buck did seize;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And, with both geese _well in hand_,
+          Flutters out upon dry land.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          For the rest he did not find
+          Things exactly to his mind.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon it proved poor Buck had brought a
+          Dreadful belly-ache from the water.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Noble Mrs. Buck! She rises
+          Fully equal to the crisis;
+          With a hot flat-iron, she
+          Draws the cold out famously.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon 'twas in the mouths of men,
+          All through town: "Buck's up again!"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' third trick,
+          But the fourth will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FOURTH.
+
+
+          AN old saw runs somewhat so:
+          Man must learn while here below.--
+          Not alone the A, B, C,
+          Raises man in dignity;
+          Not alone in reading, writing,
+          Reason finds a work inviting;
+          Not alone to solve the double
+          Rule of Three shall man take trouble:
+          But must hear with pleasure Sages
+          Teach the wisdom of the ages.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Of this wisdom an example
+          To the world was Master Laempel.
+          For this cause, to Max and Maurice
+          This man was the chief of horrors;
+          For a boy who loves bad tricks
+          Wisdom's friendship never seeks.
+          With the clerical profession
+          Smoking always was a passion;
+          And this habit without question,
+          While it helps promote digestion,
+          Is a comfort no one can
+          Well begrudge a good old man,
+          When the day's vexations close,
+          And he sits to seek repose.--
+          Max and Maurice, flinty-hearted,
+          On another trick have started;
+          Thinking how they may attack a
+          Poor old man through his tobacco.
+          Once, when Sunday morning breaking,
+          Pious hearts to gladness waking,
+          Poured its light where, in the temple,
+          At his organ sate Herr Laempel,
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          These bad boys, for mischief ready,
+          Stole into the good man's study,
+          Where his darling meerschaum stands.
+          This, Max holds in both his hands;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          While young Maurice (scapegrace born!)
+          Climbs, and gets the powderhorn,
+          And with speed the wicked soul
+          Pours the powder in the bowl.
+          Hush, and quick! now, right about!
+          For already church is out.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Laempel closes the church-door,
+          Glad to seek his home once more;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          All his service well got through,
+          Takes his keys, and music too,
+          And his way, delighted, wends
+          Homeward to his silent friends.
+          Full of gratitude he there
+          Lights his pipe, and takes his chair.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Ah!" he says, "no joy is found
+          Like contentment on earth's round!"
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Fizz! whizz! bum! The pipe is burst,
+          Almost shattered into dust.
+          Coffee-pot and water-jug,
+          Snuff-box, ink-stand, tumbler, mug,
+          Table, stove, and easy-chair,
+          All are flying through the air
+          In a lightning-powder-flash,
+          With a most tremendous crash.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          When the smoke-cloud lifts and clears,
+          Laempel on his back appears;
+          God be praised! still breathing there,
+          Only somewhat worse for wear.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Nose, hands, eyebrows (once like yours),
+          Now are black as any Moor's;
+          Burned the last thin spear of hair,
+          And his pate is wholly bare.
+          Who shall now the children guide,
+          Lead their steps to wisdom's side?
+          Who shall now for Master Laempel
+          Lead the service in the temple?
+          Now that his old pipe is out,
+          Shattered, smashed, _gone up the spout_?
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Time will heal the rest once more,
+          But the pipe's best days are o'er.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' fourth trick,
+          But the fifth will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK FIFTH.
+
+
+          IF, in village or in town,
+          You've an uncle settled down,
+          Always treat him courteously;
+          Uncle will be pleased thereby.
+          In the morning: "'Morning to you!
+          Any errand I can do you?"
+          Fetch whatever he may need,--
+          Pipe to smoke, and news to read;
+          Or should some confounded thing
+          Prick his back, or bite, or sting,
+          Nephew then will be near by,
+          Ready to his help to fly;
+          Or a pinch of snuff, maybe,
+          Sets him sneezing violently:
+          "Prosit! uncle! good health to you!
+          God be praised! much good may't do you!"
+          Or he comes home late, perchance:
+          Pull his boots off then at once,
+          Fetch his slippers and his cap,
+          And warm gown his limbs to wrap.
+          Be your constant care, good boy,
+          What shall give your uncle joy.
+          Max and Maurice (need I mention?)
+          Had not any such intention.
+          See now how they tried their wits--
+          These bad boys--on Uncle Fritz.
+          What kind of a bird a May-
+          Bug was, _they_ knew, I dare say;
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In the trees they may be found,
+          Flying, crawling, wriggling round.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Max and Maurice, great pains taking,
+          From a tree these bugs are shaking.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In their cornucopiae papers,
+          They collect these pinching creepers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Soon they are deposited
+          In the foot of uncle's bed!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          With his peaked nightcap on,
+          Uncle Fritz to bed has gone;
+          Tucks the clothes in, shuts his eyes,
+          And in sweetest slumber lies.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Kritze! Kratze! come the Tartars
+          Single file from their night quarters.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          And the captain boldly goes
+          Straight at Uncle Fritzy's nose.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Baugh!" he cries: "what have we here?"
+          Seizing that grim grenadier.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Uncle, wild with fright, upspringeth,
+          And the bedclothes from him flingeth.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          "Awtsch!" he seizes two more scape-
+          Graces from his shin and nape.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Crawling, flying, to and fro,
+          Round the buzzing rascals go.
+

+
+          Wild with fury, Uncle Fritz
+          Stamps and slashes them to bits.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          O be joyful! all gone by
+          Is the May bug's deviltry.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Uncle Fritz his eyes can close
+          Once again in sweet repose.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+          This was the bad boys' fifth trick,
+          But the sixth will follow quick.
+
+
+
+
+TRICK SIXTH.
+
+
+          EASTER days have come again,
+          When the pious baker men
+          Bake all sorts of sugar things,
+          Plum-cakes, ginger-cakes, and rings.
+          Max and Maurice feel an ache
+          In their sweet-tooth for some cake.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the Baker thoughtfully
+          Locks his shop, and takes the key.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Who would steal, then, _this_ must do:
+          Wriggle down the chimney-flue.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Ratsch! There come the boys, my Jiminy!
+          Black as ravens, down the chimney.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Puff! into a chest they drop,
+          Full of flour up to the top.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Out they crawl from under cover
+          Just as white as chalk all over.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          But the cracknels, precious treasure,
+          On a shelf they spy with pleasure.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Knacks! The chair breaks! down they go--
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Schwapp!--into a trough of dough!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          All enveloped now in dough,
+          See them, monuments of woe.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          In the Baker comes, and snickers
+          When he sees the sugar-lickers.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          One, two, three! the brats, behold!
+          Into two good _brots_ are rolled.

+
+          Ruff! out with 'em from the heat,
+          They are brown and good to eat.
+

+
+          Now you think they've _paid the debt_!
+          No, my friend, they're living yet.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+          Knusper! Knasper! like two mice
+          Through their roofs they gnaw in a trice;
+

+          And the Baker cries, "You bet!
+          There's the rascals living yet!"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *

+
+LAST TRICK
+
+
+          MAX and Maurice! I grow sick,
+          When I think on your last trick.

+          Why must these two scalawags

+          When the corn runs out like gravel.
+

+
+          Ha! with what delighted eyes
+          Max and Maurice he espies.
+

+
+          Rabs! he opens wide his sack,
+          Shoves the rogues in--Hukepack!

+
+          It grows warm with Max and Maurice,
+          For to mill the farmer hurries.

+          Headlong goes into the hopper.
+

+          As the farmer turns his back, he
+          Hears the mill go "creaky! cracky!"

+CONCLUSION.
+
+
+          IN the village not a word,
+          Not a sign, of grief, was heard.
+          Widow Tibbets, speaking low,
+          Said, "I thought it would be so!"
+          "None but self," cried Buck, "to blame!
+          Mischief is not life's true aim!"
+          Then said gravely Teacher Laempel,
+          "There again is an example!"
+          "To be sure! bad thing for youth,"
+          Said the Baker, "a sweet tooth!"
+          Even Uncle says, "Good folks!
+          See what comes of stupid jokes!"
+          But the honest farmer: "Guy!
+          What concern is that to I?"
+          Through the place in short there went
+          One wide murmur of content:
+          "God be praised! the town is free
+          From this great rascality!"

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
