If possible,
AS soon as you catch up with the

don't argue, hagglc or dispute with
the person I'm control or any Of the oc.
cupants. Under no circumstances
lose your temper once you make the
arrest the party must be taken to the
nearest station house.
where you don't believe YOU have

THE SECRET OFT.

1t has bothered the minds of Ncrmonters,
Where the sage Of Peru gets his tips;
Where Hapgood. the Green Mountain
prophet,
Finds the wisdom that flows from his
lips.
No mortal without inspiration,
Could pour forth such maxms and
saws;
And give all the world information,
As how to make sugar and laws.
But the Journal at last has the secret.
His home is so near to the skies,
He can go to a hill and yell. Central
And then be in touch with the wise
lie can have IA nice chat with the angels.
And then. like the prophet Of old,
Come down with a face that's seraphic,
And story that never is told
