ITS turrble. tn way me frind An
dhrew Carnaygie has been jumpin' on
Homer" said Mr.. Dooley.
What Homer" asked Mr.. Hennessy.
Homer, tn pote." said Mr.. Dooley.
Has Andrew been roastin' him?"
asked Mr.. Hennessy.
He has," said Mr.. Dooley. Hes
heen givin' it to him good. It's all up
with Homer. No wan win print his
stuff amy more. He'll be goin' round
with a pome undher his ar-rum firm
newspaper to newspaper thryin' to sell
1t. 'They'se a man wants to see ye,'
says tn Office boy. What's he like?
says tn iditor. He's an oil bald-headed
man with long whiskers an dressed
in table cloth. 1 think he's blind, FIR
he was led in be a dog on a stirring
says he. oh. it's on'y oil Homer says
tn iditor. Tell him I'm busy he says.
'Carnaygie has busted him. People will
talk about him firm now on as tn fell
low that Carnaygie threw into tn fire.
Twill be a hard blow to Hogan. I
niver Tread anything that Homer
wrote, but Hogan an tn OF fellow was
great frinds. got an idee that HON.
er amt amy too well off. He niver
knew anything about mannyfacthrin'
pig i'm an bein' blind he couldn't tell
good money firm bad. He niver sold
canned air to tn govermint FIR armor
plate an he didn't know tn Prince iv
Wales at all. If We wint to OF Homer

thin Roodyard Kiplin', tn chances ar-re
he'd tell We to go to tn divvle an ray
sumo his Dome. He had no business
head an he niver founded a libry build
IN, though I've heard tell he founded
few libries. Poor oil la-ad! I feel
bad about him. But it's hard on Ho-
gan. He's always BLOWN about Homer
Ye'd think this OF fellow was all tn
pQtes there iVer was. 1t was Homer
this an Homer that. Homer says So
an'-so. Dye raymimber what Homer
said about that! He's as blind as a bat
but he can see more thin mortal man.
He is poor but his head is full iv kings
an princes, an not fat little kings
that are TIL same hight anyway
We take thin. but long, lean
kings that ar-re always chargin' round

comes round, yell hear me say: 'Hows
yeer frind Homer now?' or Have We
heerd firm Homer lately?' or What's
Homer dom in tn pothry line?' I'll
make life a burden to Hogan.
