dld kick in front of the PLANET Of
ice on last Friday evening. We were
reminded of the old saying about a
ram being tied TO a gate post" But

sayings We are sure there were
plenty men around who could have
kept flies of him and his pepper
also.
Old boy, don't let your temper get
the better Of your judgment next time.
On, how anxious you were to blast
some one you could beat, but how vast
ly mistaken. Why, ha, ha, ha we were
standing in sight enjoying the situa-
tion and you didn't even look at us.
How surprised we were to find out
that you were the old maid who made
the attack on poor "Magno" in the
Recorder of September 9Th. WelIl
well we'll things will happen that
way sometimes. But it is so bad to
jump at the wrong person.
