them and editors in the Bible. think the
editor is one Of the missing links you read
of and stayed in the bushes until after the
flood, and then came out and wrote the
thing up. and his been here ever since.
don't think he ever dies. never saw a
dead one and never heard Of one getting
licked. Our paper is a mighty good one
but the editor goes without underclothes
all winter and don't wear any socks and

paper started. ! asst paw If that was
why the editor had to suck the juse out OF
snowballs in winter and go to bed when
