To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
despise everything like newspaper
controversy, especially with my bene-
factor, but there are some illusions in
Mr.. S. L. BIS communication which, in
justice to coming generations, l want to
correct.
In the first place, he says had knot
or pratrusion a short distance below my
sternum, which he thought was enlarge

could slur at one about natural frailty,
and you see I have always had consti-

Burnett said.
All there was in that butter can dance
was this. You see Capt. Taylor had
been begging me to learn him few of
the latest steps, and as the empty cans
were the first musical instruments we
had had, ] proceeded to give the de-
