listen: You are not the only cub
that has pitied his parents for their
ignorance and wondered why in
thunder the Lord dropped such a
warm bunch of Omniscience as
yourself into such a cool and
scanty family atmosphere. You are

head and pinch of brains that
feels it his duty to butt into the
star role of every dialogue that
originates in his vicinity to save
his relatives and friends from MAX
ing fools of themselves, but you
are a public nuisance just the same,

by the legislature setting bounty
on your scalp. Now be scarce.

was investigating for defects in it's

in the back door yard and Earring
the lady's nerves-Thomas eats
pie standing; Jimmy's right-hand
pocket and anatomy adjoining
burned by the untimely explosion
of three packages of fire crackers,
two Roman candles, three pin
wheels, and four devil-catchers-
injuries not fatal. Sammle had a
