Among other amendments to the river and

Jim Duff is a good-hearted, genial cuss |
as long as things go along smoothly down at |
the ''shanty," but if the reverse is the case,
then he is kicking, splitting and biting at ev-
erything he hears, like snake in the blind |
season. Somebody got his ''dander" up yes
terday, and he sat down and vented his spite |
against this innocent chronicler in a way that |
made US weep hot, briny tears because of our |
friends waywardness. Jeems, we're your
friend; we were always your friend; we'd |
stand by you till the last check was passed in, |
and never breathe harmful word to you or |
about you. Retract those unkind words be- |
fore our heart is cleft in twain by your vim
dlctive shafts.
