When he was crucified.

Ihen Will keep the armOr on And fight until die. And If there is no paper That will publish what write, Then I'll trust the Lord to help me Some other way to fight. And when the battles all are over I'll lay my armOr down. And if the Lord Is willing With him I'll wear a crown. So let this vain. deceitful world Their finger point and shame. I'll lay my trophies at His feet And take my heavenly name.
 For it is written in the Book of Revelation Him that overcometh will make pillar the temple of my God and will write upc him my new name and he shall go no mol out forever"
 Since first took up my pen have never bt fore made any display of my name but Ina, done all could to keep it from the public, i' because was ashamed of my name or afra or unwilling to be responsible for any stat mcnt have ever made, but because l ,hougl I could accomplish more good to keep II name out of sight. But through some mi | take or blunder my friend who has given much valuable space to some of my seriot thoughts united and opened the bag that hs the cat in 1t and then the Editor of the R porter put in his hand and took the cat o and he handled her so harshly that st squealed out my name four times. So now I'll try to do something. To stop this pulling and hauling, And may these few little verses Forever prevent this squalling. I once heard of two little boys That owned a cat together. One claimed the head and one the tail. But the boys and cat were clever. Until one day while at their play With cat and little toys All of a sudden from the head | Came out a squalling noise. And then the boy that owned the head 1 Objected to the cry,
 But the boy that claimed the tail Gould see no reason why, That he could not use what was his Without his brothers consent | And so they had some unkind words And gave their feelings went. Over cats head and her tall | The first quarrel began
 Between two little brother boys | And not q grown up man.
 And when the cruel war broke out | The South shot the first guns. | And so ii was with Knox and | For he fired the first stone. | But he can have tho head and tail. | Tine skin and bones and feathers. For our tastes will not agre>, To own cat together,
 Two loads of horse manure for sale, It does not suit my "taste'' | To put in a newspaper,
 In such conspicious place.
 Ammonia Is so very strong | It will not save my life
 I rather have an inquest"
 And die to save my wife.
 And now I want to say a word To my friend of Bethlehem,
 You got the cart in front of the horse, Unhitch, and try again,
 Or you will make slow progress, If backward you do go,
 The cart and the horse and everything | Will move so very slow.
 The home and church are just the thing, | To always put in front | Don't think that am getting blue | Because I am SO blunt,
 I am not finding fault with God But with the devils tools
 That have no mercy on the poor Or on the district schools.
 did not mention my hard lot, | To get help from the town, | I want to see the right prevail And all the wrong put down,
 But some are deaf and some are blind And some don't want to see. And so they get things upside down That's published in THE BEE. Although talk 50 very plain. Yet some won't understand
 Whether I mean the old Dragon Or ladies or man.
 And so I'm going to lift my hat And pass the devil by
 And if do not hear from him Or see him with my eye
 Then shall not be tempted As have been in the past
 And hope that what I'm writing In this way is the last,
 For don't like these jingles
 With any fellow man
 But want to do them good In every way can.
 Perhaps I acted foolishly
 When first took my pen | But am not an anarchist. | Or a coward. but man.
 The past is gone forever gone, | My name the world can see | For through our local paper | My name has gone from me- And now my brother, take the cat, The head and tail and all And you can keep her silent ! Or you can make her squall. And hope that our last jingle | Will bring smiles upon your face As you read ''Inspiring" thoughts That if printed must take space
