-The Twins and How They Entertained the New Minister
-
-
-
-
-Characters
-
- Bobby and Betty, the twins. Rev. J. Jones, the minister.
-
-
-
-
-Scene
-
-A reception room. Enter Betty and the minister.
-
-BETTY. (With a grown-up air.) There! Sit right down, and I’ll see
-if Mamma’s in. No, not that one, that’s only for show. The leg’s
-broken, and it aint got fixed yet. Take the Morris chair. That’s the
-one sister’s beaux always sit in. There, now you’re all comfy. I’ll
-tell Mamma you’re here, if she’s in.
-
-REV. J. JONES. Tell her that I am making pastoral calls. I am—
-
-BETTY. Yes, I know who you are. “I’m the new minister,” you was a
-going to say, wasn’t you?
-
-BOBBY. (Entering.) ’Twas my turn to answer the doorbell, Betty
-Forrest. ’Taint fair! You just camp out in the hall to get ahead of
-me! You got the book agent, and the Mission Lady, and now you’ve got
-the minister. Course you’ll beat!
-
-REV. J. J. Beat?
-
-BETTY. You can tell him, Bobby, while I go ask Mamma if she’s in.
-Sometimes she’s in when she isn’t, and sometimes she isn’t when she
-is, and the only way to be sure you won’t get a whipping for telling
-it the wrong way, is to go ask her. She’s in her room, I know, but
-maybe she isn’t in. You tell him ’bout the new game, Bobby. (She runs
-out.)
-
-BOBBY. It’s what we call the Caller’s game. Betty made it up. Betty’s
-awful smart to think of new things. You see, Thursday afternoon is
-Christine’s day out. Say, aint it funny to call an afternoon a day?
-And Mamma don’t like to answer the bell herself, ’cause then she
-couldn’t be out if she didn’t want to see the one that rung it, so she
-made me and Betty do it, ’n course we hated to be bothered—you know
-callers are such a nuisance when you’re busy playing, and Betty
-shirked and made me do it most all. So Daddy said if she didn’t do her
-share, he’d bring home candy, and give it all to me, ’n then Betty she
-made up this game. We’ve each got a little book, and we put down which
-caller we answer the bell to and get a piece of candy for each caller,
-and if there’s more candy than there is callers, we get two pieces for
-each one, and now Betty likes to answer it, and she gets the most
-candy every time.
-
-BETTY. (Returning.) That’s ’cause I’m smartest, Daddy says. He says,
-“Trust a woman to get the best of a man every time, be they ever so
-young.”
-
-REV. J. J. And what did Mamma say?
-
-BETTY. She said, “Mercy me! The minister? I suppose I shall have to go
-down, or your Father won’t like it.” What are ministers made for?
-
-REV. J. J. I think I must go. Tell your mother I was sorry not to meet
-her.
-
-BETTY. But you got to see her. She’ll be down soon as she puts on her
-hair and squeezes her feet into her new tango slippers.
-
-BOBBY. Pa says it’s foolish to try to put a number two shoe on a
-number four foot.
-
-REV. J. J. (Rising.) I think I must go now.
-
-BETTY. If you do, she’ll spank me good, for letting you, after she
-said she was in. She told me to entertain you nicely till she came
-down.
-
-BOBBY. I’ll entertain him. Men like men. Do you play poker?
-
-REV. J. J. Why no, do you?
-
-BOBBY. No, I aint learned how yet, but I thought you might teach me.
-This cunning little table is a card table, and the cards are in this
-little drawer. (Takes them out.) And these pretty round things are the
-chips.
-
-BETTY. They look more like Tiddledy Winks. They use ’em ’stead of
-money, ’cause Mamma won’t let ’em play for money. That’s gambling.
-
-BOBBY. They pay the money down town, next day. I know, ’cause I was
-with Daddy when he did, and he gave me a quarter not to tell Mamma.
-’Sides, Mamma plays Bridge and that’s just as bad, Daddy says.
-
-REV. J. J. Would they like you to tell me this?
-
-BETTY. P’raps not, but you won’t tell, will you? It’s right to tell
-the minister bad things, ’cause he’ll forgive you if you pay him
-something, and you can do it over again. That’s the way Christine
-does. She’s a Catholic. Are you?
-
-REV. J. J. No indeed, my dear.
-
-BOBBY. (Who has gone out, re-enters with a bottle and glass.) Have
-some wine? Daddy always entertains this way. It’s a fine flavor. I
-drank a bit from the bottom of a glass once, and ’twas awful good, but
-Mamma was mad about it.
-
-REV. J. J. Put it back, my boy. I never drink. Ministers never do.
-
-BETTY. My, how thirsty you must get! What do you do when you’ve been
-eating salt fish?
-
-REV. J. J. I don’t care for salt fish.
-
-BOBBY. Neither do we, but we eat a lot of it when we’re saving up for
-a party.
-
-BETTY. Can you dance the tango?
-
-REV. J. J. No, I don’t dance.
-
-BETTY. That’s too bad. Let me show you how. It’s just as easy! Come
-on. (Tries to drag him up.)
-
-REV. J. J. No, I don’t care to dance.
-
-BETTY. I won’t call you awkward, really. You do it so, you know,
-(illustrates) but dancing’s no fun alone, you know. You need a girl to
-hug. If you learn with me you can do it with the big lady girls, the
-ones that you like best, you know.
-
-BOBBY. He don’t dance with ’em, he plays tag.
-
-REV. J. J. Oh no, my boy.
-
-BOBBY. Mamma said so. Daddy said that all the girls were chasing you,
-and Mamma said she guessed that you could do your share of the
-chasing, all right.
-
-BETTY. I know what you like—fast horses, don’t you?
-
-REV. J. J. Well, I have a horse, of course—
-
-BETTY. Yes, a real spanker! And a narrow buggy to take the girls to
-ride. Say, do you hold ’em in, when you go over the “thank you marms”
-and take toll? Daddy said he bet you did. He always used to. He calls
-it taking toll when he makes me pay him for candy with kisses. I
-s’pose the girls would be afraid to say no to a minister, but
-sometimes I say no to Daddy, just to tease him, and he calls me a
-little flirt, and takes ’em just the same.
-
-REV. J. J. Indeed. How old are you, little girl?
-
-BETTY. I’m eight, ’n so’s Bobby. We’re twins, but I’m the smartest and
-the prettiest. Daddy says so. Mamma’s great for bargains, when she’s
-shopping, ’n when she bought me, Bobby was throwed in. She didn’t need
-a boy, at all, but ’twas a bargain, you know. She bought a five dollar
-waist yesterday for four dollars and ninety-five cents. Can you play
-the piano?
-
-REV. J. J. No, can you?
-
-BETTY. I can play the scale, and “Tell Aunt Rhody,” and when I’m as
-big as you, I shall play all the notes. You can’t do much, can you? Is
-that why you’re a minister?
-
-BOBBY. No, it’s ’cause it’s an easy way to earn your living. Daddy
-said so. Just stand up in a pulpit and scold the people when they
-dassn’t talk back, and have some men pass round plates to get money
-for you. They don’t dare not to ’cause folks is looking. Once Daddy
-put in a five dollar gold piece by mistake, and he sweared about it
-when he got home.
-
-BETTY. Yes, and last Sunday I put in my chewing gum by mistake and he
-spanked me ’cause I sweared about it when I got home. He said “Darn!”
-was naughty for a girl to say. Why is it?
-
-REV. J. J. Because—
-
-BETTY. Oh, I didn’t ’spect you to tell me. I don’t like to be preached
-at. Have you got any s’criptions with you?
-
-REV. J. J. Prescriptions? I’m not a druggist, nor a physician.
-
-BOBBY. Sub ones, she means. Mamma don’t like ’em. She hates begging
-ministers. She always signs, you know, ’cause she must, but she can’t
-afford to give away a whole dollar, or even half a one, ’cause her
-clothes are awful ’spensive, and the dressmaker bothers her awfully
-with bills. Oh, wouldn’t you like a cigar? (Takes a cigar case from a
-stand and passes it.)
-
-REV. J. J. No indeed. I never smoke, and I hope you never will.
-
-BOBBY. Oh yes I will. It’s lots nicer than chewing. Just you try. Or
-are you ’fraid it will make you sick? It did me, when I tried it, but
-I’m going to try a cigarette next time. Taint so strong. P’raps you
-better.
-
-BETTY. You better not. Maybe your Mamma wouldn’t like it. Mamma
-spanked Bobby.
-
-REV. J. J. My dear boy, I sincerely hope—
-
-BOBBY. Mamma’s coming.
-
-BETTY. We’ve entertained you good, haven’t we? We haven’t told
-anything we ought to not, have we? ’Cause if we have, we’ll get
-spanked and sent to bed, when you’re gone.
-
-BOBBY. If we have, don’t you tell. Be a good sport, and don’t tattle.
-Here comes Mamma.
-
-BETTY. And she’s got her new dress on. We’ve entertained him, Mamma!
-

- A Farce In Two Acts (New Version)
-
- Book by Wm. Danforth Music arr. by Geo. F. Rosche
-
- [Illustration]
-
-This is a burlesque on the district school of 100 years ago. Ezekiel
-Simpkins, the teacher, is the central character. His costume is a
-tight Prince Albert coat, with brass buttons, or a worn and faded
-“claw-hammer” coat; colored vest, cut low; stock collar, with large
-black tie; trousers, “high-water,” with a patch of other color on one
-knee; well-worn shoes. Bald gray wig and “side” whiskers. The costumes
-of the pupils are in keeping with those of the teacher.
-
-The characters all read their lines from the book, so that there is
-very little to be memorized and for this reason this work can be
-prepared in a very short time. _Price, postpaid, 50 cents per copy._

- Libretto by Ellan N. Wood
-

-
-There is no friend like an old friend and after all there are no songs
-we love quite so much as the old ones. This Cantata furnishes a
-beautiful medium for the introduction of the old songs which we all
-know and love. There is just enough libretto to the work to form a
-continuous chain of thought throughout, and we know of no Cantata that
-will afford such a pleasing entertainment at such a small expenditure
-of labor. The book is well worth its price if only to secure this fine
-collection of old home songs. Full of sentiment, humor and pathos and
-decidedly new and fresh in construction. _Price, 30 cts. per copy,
-postpaid; $3.00 per doz., not prepaid; add 3 cts. per copy for
-postage._

-
- —or—

- “Herr Lover’s Dilemma”
-
- _A Musical Entertainment In One Act_
-
- Libretto by H. MacDONALD BARR Music by CARL F. PRICE
-
-The most interesting, mirth-provoking entertainment which we have been
-privileged to see or hear in recent years.
-
-It goes right to your funny bone with a new kind of tickle.
-
-It provides a whole evening of the finest fun without for an instant
-suggesting the vulgar or commonplace. There is a laugh in every line
-of the libretto and a lilt to every brace of music which makes it
-irresistible. The spell cannot be broken by the fall of the curtain
-for the oft repeated strains of “Love is the way to spell Living” are
-sure to echo and re-echo long after the entertainment is over.
-
-This entertainment is easily within the ability of the ordinary church
-choir with augmented chorus. Special costumes are needed by only three
-or four characters, the chorus being in ordinary dress. No elaborate
-stage setting is necessary, a neat platform with an adjoining room, or
-with a door, being the only requisites for its presentation. A piano
-should be on the platform.

-THE STORY
-
-Professor Herr Lover has written a cantata, the rehearsal of which he
-is to conduct. He has proposed marriage to the leading soprano,
-Ledgoline Topsee, but she is afraid he lacks the quality of patience,
-and plans, with the aid of her friends who compose the cast, to
-utilize the rehearsal to test him in that respect. After tolerating a
-series of aggravating interruptions and delays on the part of the
-singers, he at last gives away to a burst of angry passion, only to
-discover what he has lost by so doing. By a clever surrender, however,
-he turns defeat into victory, and the affair ends happily.
-
-This play given by your _Church Choir_, _Young People’s Society_ or
-_Ladies’ Aid_ will prove a financial success beyond your fondest
-dream. _Someone_ will give this in your vicinity. Why not be the first
-and reap the benefit for _your_ church or Society?
-
-The price is 75 cents per copy with a small license fee for privilege
-of public performance for profit, but we have a special proposition to
-offer for its first appearance in each city or town. If interested,
-write for particulars with prospectus.

-responsible duties of “Teacher” in the school. In selecting “Mud

-
-Santa’s Rescue
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Two mysterious pieces of paper fall into the hands of the children,
-one being found by the BOYS and one by the GIRLS. The meaning of the
-inscription on each remains a mystery until it is discerned that by
-placing the papers together they have the message that the “Old Witch”
-of the North has captured “Santa” and holds him in an ice prison at
-the North Pole. Of course there could be no “Merry Christmas” without
-their “patron saint”, so guided by the “Fairy Godmother” they start
-for the North Pole to rescue him. The “Old Witch” endeavors to block
-the rescuers’ way by the assistance of “Old Zero” and the “Snow
-Fairies” but when they learn that the snow drifts they are piling up
-are to aid in keeping “Santa” from his usual Christmas activities they
-get the “Sunbeam Fairies” to come to their aid and melt the snow,
-while they bind with a frozen cord the “Old Witch,” who is found
-indulging in a nap which she takes only once every hundred years. With
-the “Old Witch” powerless and in their control the Rescue of Santa is
-an easy matter.
-
-Tho’ belated somewhat by his enforced stay at the North Pole, the
-children are glad to become his “aides” in spreading a “Merry
-Christmas” through all the world. This is a very clever plot, well
-worked out, and will make a decided hit for the Christmas season. 4
-Boys and 5 Girls with any number of Fairies. Time about 1 hour. Price
-25 cents.
-
-
-FARCES

-cents.
-

-
-Answering the Phone. Mrs. Courtney and her daughter have a most
-trying experience with Nora Flanagan, the new “hired girl,” who in

-special reference to “answering the phone.” The final situation in
-which Nora makes a date with Miss Courtney’s “intended” is ridiculous
-in the extreme. 3 females. Time about 15 minutes. Price 10 cents.
-
-The Twins and How They Entertained the New Minister. They have
-a delightful time telling family secrets to the “New Minister,” who
-has called for the first time. They explain the necessity of seeing
-their mother to find out from her if she is “In,” for so often she is
-“Out” when she is “In” and “In” when she is “Out.” 2 Males and 1
-Female. Time about 15 minutes. Price 10 cents.

-Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
-law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,

-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

-and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you receive
-specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of this
-eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook
-for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports,
-performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given
-away--you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks
-not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the

-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the

-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 unprotected by copyright law 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 in the United States and
- most other parts of the world 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. If you are not located in the
- United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
- are located before using this ebook.
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (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.

-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

-* 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

-* 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

-are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
-from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, 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
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law 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 1.F.3. 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

-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

-
-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

-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 information page at
-www.gutenberg.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. 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 in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
-mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, 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 contact links and up to
-date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and
-official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:

- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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.

-was a going to say, wasn’t you?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> (Entering.) ’Twas my turn to answer the doorbell,
-Betty Forrest. ’Taint fair! You just camp out in the hall to get ahead
-of me! You got the book agent, and the Mission Lady, and now you’ve
-got the minister. Course you’ll beat!</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Beat?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> You can tell him, Bobby, while I go ask Mamma if she’s
-in. Sometimes she’s in when she isn’t, and sometimes she isn’t when
-she is, and the only way to be sure you won’t get a whipping for
-telling it the wrong way, is to go ask her. She’s in her room, I know,
-but maybe she isn’t in. You tell him ’bout the new game, Bobby. (She
-runs out.)</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> It’s what we call the Caller’s game. Betty made it up.
-Betty’s awful smart to think of new things. You see, Thursday
-afternoon is Christine’s day out. Say, aint it funny to call an
-afternoon a day? And Mamma don’t
-<!--006.png-->
-like to answer the bell herself,
-’cause then she couldn’t be out if she didn’t want to see the one that
-rung it, so she made me and Betty do it, ’n course we hated to be
-bothered&mdash;you know callers are such a nuisance when you’re busy
-playing, and Betty shirked and made me do it most all. So Daddy said
-if she didn’t do her share, he’d bring home candy, and give it all to
-me, ’n then Betty she made up this game. We’ve each got a little book,
-and we put down which caller we answer the bell to and get a piece of
-candy for each caller, and if there’s more candy than there is
-callers, we get two pieces for each one, and now Betty likes to answer
-it, and she gets the most candy every time.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> (Returning.) That’s ’cause I’m smartest, Daddy says.
-He says, “Trust a woman to get the best of a man every time, be they
-ever so young.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> And what did Mamma say?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> She said, “Mercy me! The minister? I suppose I shall
-have to go down, or your Father won’t like it.” What are ministers
-made for?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> I think I must go. Tell your mother I was sorry
-not to meet her.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> But you got to see her. She’ll be down soon as she
-puts on her hair and squeezes her feet into her new tango slippers.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> Pa says it’s foolish to try to put a number two shoe
-on a number four foot.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> (Rising.) I think I must go now.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> If you do, she’ll spank me good, for letting you,
-after she said she was in. She told me to entertain you nicely till
-she came down.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> I’ll entertain him. Men like men. Do you play poker?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Why no, do you?
-<!--007.png--></p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> No, I aint learned how yet, but I thought you might
-teach me. This cunning little table is a card table, and the cards are
-in this little drawer. (Takes them out.) And these pretty round things
-are the chips.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> They look more like Tiddledy Winks. They use ’em
-’stead of money, ’cause Mamma won’t let ’em play for money. That’s
-gambling.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> They pay the money down town, next day. I know, ’cause
-I was with Daddy when he did, and he gave me a quarter not to tell
-Mamma. ’Sides, Mamma plays Bridge and that’s just as bad, Daddy says.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Would they like you to tell me this?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> P’raps not, but you won’t tell, will you? It’s right
-to tell the minister bad things, ’cause he’ll forgive you if you pay
-him something, and you can do it over again. That’s the way Christine
-does. She’s a Catholic. Are you?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev.</span> J. J. No indeed, my dear.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> (Who has gone out, re-enters with a bottle and glass.)
-Have some wine? <a name="chg1" id="chg1"></a>Daddy always entertains this way. It’s a fine flavor.
-I drank a bit from the bottom of a glass once, and ’twas awful good,
-but Mamma was mad about it.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Put it back, my boy. I never drink. Ministers
-never do.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> My, how thirsty you must get! What do you do when
-you’ve been eating salt fish?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> I don’t care for salt fish.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> Neither do we, but we eat a lot of it when we’re
-saving up for a party.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> Can you dance the tango?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> No, I don’t dance.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> That’s too bad. Let me show you how. It’s just as
-easy! Come on. (Tries to drag him up.)</p>
-
-<p><!--008.png-->
-<span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> No, I don’t care to dance.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> I won’t call you awkward, really. You do it so, you
-know, (illustrates) but dancing’s no fun alone, you know. You need a
-girl to hug. If you learn with me you can do it with the big lady
-girls, the ones that you like best, you know.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> He don’t dance with ’em, he plays tag.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Oh no, my boy.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> Mamma said so. Daddy said that all the girls were
-chasing you, and Mamma said she guessed that you could do your share
-of the chasing, all right.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> I know what you like&mdash;fast horses, don’t you?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Well, I have a horse, of course&mdash;</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> Yes, a real spanker! And a narrow buggy to take the
-girls to ride. Say, do you hold ’em in, when you go over the “thank
-you marms” and take toll? Daddy said he bet you did. He always used
-to. He calls it taking toll when he makes me pay him for candy with
-kisses. I s’pose the girls would be afraid to say no to a minister,
-but sometimes I say no to Daddy, just to tease him, and he calls me a
-little flirt, and takes ’em just the same.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Indeed. How old are you, little girl?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> I’m eight, ’n so’s Bobby. We’re twins, but I’m the
-smartest and the prettiest. Daddy says so. Mamma’s great for bargains,
-when she’s shopping, ’n when she bought me, Bobby was throwed in. She
-didn’t need a boy, at all, but ’twas a bargain, you know. She bought a
-five dollar waist yesterday for four dollars and ninety-five cents.
-Can you play the piano?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> No, can you?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> I can play the scale, and “Tell Aunt Rhody,” and when
-I’m as big as you, I shall play all the notes. You can’t do much, can
-you? Is that why you’re a minister?
-<!--009.png--></p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> No, it’s ’cause it’s an easy way to earn your living.
-Daddy said so. Just stand up in a pulpit and scold the people when
-they dassn’t talk back, and have some men pass round plates to get
-money for you. They don’t dare not to ’cause folks is looking. Once
-Daddy put in a five dollar gold piece by mistake, and he sweared about
-it when he got home.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> Yes, and last Sunday I put in my chewing gum by
-mistake and he spanked me ’cause I sweared about it when I got home.
-He said “Darn!” was naughty for a girl to say. Why is it?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Because&mdash;</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> Oh, I didn’t ’spect you to tell me. I don’t like to be
-preached at. Have you got any s’criptions with you?</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> Prescriptions? I’m not a druggist, nor a
-physician.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> Sub ones, she means. Mamma don’t like ’em. She hates
-begging ministers. She always signs, you know, ’cause she must, but
-she can’t afford to give away a whole dollar, or even half a one,
-’cause her clothes are awful ’spensive, and the dressmaker bothers her
-awfully with bills. Oh, wouldn’t you like a cigar? (Takes a cigar case
-from a stand and passes it.)</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> No indeed. I never smoke, and I hope you never
-will.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Bobby.</span> Oh yes I will. It’s lots nicer than chewing. Just you
-try. Or are you ’fraid it will make you sick? It did me, when I tried
-it, but I’m going to try a cigarette next time. Taint so strong.
-P’raps you better.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Betty.</span> You better not. Maybe your Mamma wouldn’t like it.
-Mamma spanked Bobby.</p>
-
-<p><span class="sc">Rev. J. J.</span> My dear boy, I sincerely hope&mdash;</p>
-

-

-
-<p class="smaller">Professor Herr Lover has written a cantata, the rehearsal of which he
-is to conduct. He has proposed marriage to the leading soprano,
-Ledgoline Topsee, but she is afraid he lacks the quality of patience,
-and plans, with the aid of her friends who compose the cast, to
-utilize the rehearsal to test him in that respect. After tolerating a
-series of aggravating interruptions and delays on the part of the
-singers, he at last gives away to a burst of angry passion, only to
-discover what he has lost by so doing. By a clever surrender, however,
-he turns defeat into victory, and the affair ends happily.</p>

-of the North has captured “Santa” and holds him in an ice prison at
-the North Pole. Of course there could be no “Merry Christmas” without
-their “patron saint”, so guided by the “Fairy Godmother” they start
-for the North Pole to rescue him. The “Old Witch” endeavors to block
-the rescuers’ way by the assistance of “Old Zero” and the “Snow
-Fairies” but when they learn that the snow drifts they are piling up
-are to aid in keeping “Santa” from his usual Christmas activities they
-get the “Sunbeam Fairies” to come to their aid and melt the snow,
-while they bind with a frozen cord the “Old Witch,” who is found
-indulging in a nap which she takes only once every hundred years. With
-the “Old Witch” powerless and in their control the Rescue of Santa is
-an easy matter.</p>
-
-<p class="smaller">Tho’ belated somewhat by his enforced stay at the North Pole, the

-of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

-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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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 unprotected by copyright law 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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:</p>
-
-<p>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:</p>
-
-<blockquote><p>This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United
- States and most other parts of the world 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 <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a>. If you
- are not located in the United States, you'll have to check the laws
- of the country where you are located before using this
- ebook.</p></blockquote>
-
-<p>1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>

-Gutenberg-tm License.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>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."</li>
-
-<li>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.</li>
-
-<li>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.</li>
-
-<li>You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>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 The
-Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.</p>
-
-<p>1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 1.F.3. 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

-DAMAGE.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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

-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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

-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. </p>
-
-<h3>Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm</h3>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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 information page at
-www.gutenberg.org.</p>
-
-<h3>Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation</h3>
-
-<p>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. 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.</p>
-

-
-<h3>Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation</h3>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate</p>
-
-<h3>Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.</h3>
-
-<p>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 forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.</p>
-
-<p>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.</p>
-
-<p>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
