tlonS Dy ''HOeClc License are still worse.
If the critic is lady, J. suggest she read a
little history. When quoting, do SO cor
rectly.
"Where ignorance is bliss
II is folly to be wise.
And tits for this
We have so many spies,"
There should be good reasoning and
taste in criticism as in other cOnsidera-
tions, lack of which is very noticeable in
"Poetic License"
You can't get blood out of turnip.'
Squire's residence is near the High
School. A term by critic would improve
morbid sensibilities. Tennyson might be
profitably consulted.
.'In eightee n-hundred and forty-six,
To New York City did GO;
There was no occasion to 60. was then
there, and so stated. 1t is clearly indica-
ted who it was further on. Not in the war
OF Mexico, but WITH Mexico.
'The boat we took across the stream"
Smart men to take boat across the
stream" How does critic know who took
it there? Did it get there alone? 1t never
would have got there had critic been in it.
License asks, ''in what were the men at
the same time?'' Their breeches, of course,
all being men.
I'VE went quickly DER the waves
License "wonders if the waves of a
stream are very noticeable" To one never
having seen one, they are not.

Question: "Were our country's braves
dead or alive?" If all dead, then none
would have been living. Some were dead
drunk, however.
A drum to beat, ETC."
''It is hoped that very few obeyed the
call.''
That would not be conduct becoming a
soldier, and military discipline. Suppos-
ing the order had been to fall in the stream.
| always obeyed orders.
At Chattanooga, men took off their
clothes by order, and fell into the stream,
in order to capture the ridge on the oppo-
site shore.
Then to quarters 60 etc.
The provisions referred to by License knew
more than the one who propounds the
question, by Joe.
THE order comes to ship we go,
And soon we land on board.
And offor Mexico"
Score another.
Question: Who is commanded to put up
his arms, down the hold, and off for Mex
leo all at once9 1t all occurred simulta-
neously. License says it would have been
had they landed on shore. We proposed
to do that when we got near the enemy.
We had just left the shore. When troops
embark, they necessarily go on board
vessel. A landing is usually made. Ap-
preached by stairway, once on the land
ing, thence over the gunwale.
'The age ofhim now in this hall,
Was then but twelve short years."
Question What is the difference be-
ween twelve short years and twelve long
years, if both have or have not leap yea rs
/ demur to this count in the declaration
''Absque hoe" 1t is special pleading
The sense in which term of years apply
needs no explanation. One of the six
things the Lord hates is heart that de-
viseth wicked imaginations-fe feet that be
swift in running to mischief
The war did wage, and victory won,
The result you all now know"
License says ''of course we do. The re-
suit is victory won." Not so. my dear!
1t was the addition to the United States of
SdiiOihid, SbdIIs ANSNdud, COlOTduO. new
Mexico, Idaho. Subsequently, as result,
Arizona with 64O,OO0,OOO acres of land,
nearly doubling its area. Over $1,000. .000.-
900 gold and silver.
What did Poetic License do towards this
grand result? Where was the critic then?
The reference to Meade Post was incl
dental. If Poetic License is lady, she
could not have been present to see who had
that fall; the charge not heard by her at
all
For was once little boy,
In the war of Mexico,'
What was the use of a little boy in the
war of Mexico? History don't state where
that war was. In the war WITH Mexico,
boys carried powder to blow the critics to
the other side of the republic, that didn't
have license to stay at home. A false
witness that speaketh lies, and him that
