| /" Let every gentleman attend to his own business
as the ackass said when he danced among the chick
ens.Homer
| MEssRs. EDIToRs; As you gentlemen of the Press
know everybody and every thing and every thing about
| every body and about every bodys business il is your
business to know who are the Somebody's and who
the Nobodys in this great Metropolis of ours, and
to give any information in your possession not i'm
proper to be communicated" when called upon by any
body Amt right Well, that's admitted.
| Now then for Business and Bodies Dancing is
| business Dancers are somebody's, and dancing is
somebody's business if the dancer is nobody, if the
bodies who dance have business to dance, it does
not alter the case, not if the bodies who having
no business to dance, not somebody's but
bodys at best for nobody cannot dance, then every
nobody who dances is somebody that is being nobody
before, he thereby becomes of the somebody's and
is, thenceforth, somebody or, to be plain and
precise and particular everybody who dances is
body; that is, nobody but somebody dances in other
words anybody who dances is somebody and being
somebody heis somebody, and cannot be nobody for
nobody but nobody be nobody Everybody is
not somebody anybody is not somebody; nobody but
somebody is somebody yet everybody and anybody
but nobody, if they dance, must be somebody, and
dancing makes nobody somebody. Isn't all this as
plain as the nose on your face Well that's admitted
too.
Having disposed of our bodies, we now 60 to Bus
ness. Dancers are somebody's, and dancing is somebo
dys business it is not business business, but
kind of robustness business; sort of business
without business business above business, at least
above business business: il is somebody's business
not nobody's business il is business with which
body has no business. Whatever is anybody's bust
ness is nobodys business; whatever is everybody's
business is nobodys business; whatever is nobody's
business is nobodys business that nobody has his
hands pretty full of his own proper BUSINESS without
meddllng in business where he has no business he
has no business with somebody's business, he has no
business with any bodys business he has no business
with any business not his particular business; he
has no business with such business as no business
business and he has no business TO make such bust
ness his business. Dancing being somebody's bust
ness, not evelybody's business, nor anybody's bus-
ness, nobody's business, nobody who is not
body has any business with the business nobody who
has any business with business business has any bus
ness with this business for this business is the eIel
sire business of the somebody's who have no other
business who have business with any business at
all especially such vulgar business business bust
ness. Isn't this clear and true as any thing IN
the whole Globe Well that's admitted also
| Now, having received yeur three admissions have
question to ask, and expect direct and unequivo
cal answer to it, "Why are the Washington As
sembles" called Washington" Assemblies or, to
speak in plain terms and come to the point at once,
What is an Ola Podrda7 Answer me that
