A Wasp Always Open for Engagement.

The Mexican wasp is built entirely
for business. He is over two inches
long when he is of age and is about
the color of bay horse. His plunger
is q full inch long and as fine as q
spiders web. Unlike the singer of
q common bee, the singer of the Mex
lean wasp is nonforfeitable. He doesn't
give up after one lunge, but has it
always ready for an all-day job if nee
essary. The mission of the Mexican
wasp seems to be merely to hunt up
people and run that stinger of his in to
them. The natives say that he will 90
ten miles to get whack at person,
The natives seem to get fat on snake
bites, centipede bites, and scorpion
stings, but if they discover one of these
wasps in their neighborhood they hunt
for cover without delay.
