pie did not read the papers he replied:
'These who don't read newspapers

In the last issue of this paper there
was an article claiming that the
Winona & St. Peter Land Company
was working a clever trick to avoid
the payment of taxes. The article

The robins and blue birds are not

the murderous English sparrow made
