hasn't right to come near, but judging from
his name ''Sider'' we are fearful that he may
t'side" clear over the next time and rob us of
all our stock in trade. If he only knew the
painful effort required in this place to make
up half column of nonsense from nothing he
would shorten his range, which is best any
way, to secure accuracy.
It's with consumate sorrow that we note the
absence of our gentle flower Sweet William)

Happy and Uno, too, who seem to be in
dreamland.
