"put you hep" 1903 (antedating?)

[Stephen Goranson]

Whether this is an antedating (it's earlier than OED), I'm not sure.
Both are from The Evening World (New York) via Library of Congress, in the column, "THE MAN HIGHER UP"

July 6, 1903 v. 44, right column

"Allow me, please, to put you hep to this oceanside thing...."
