There's such thing as carrying the
Joke a little too far and the green-eyed
monster who sent us post card with this
deyilish inscription will be taught lesson

household; mighty are his preparations!
He goeth forth full of hope! When the
day is far spent he returneth, smelling of
strong drink, and the truth is not in him.
Once fisherman always liar" Now if
this cowardly character assassin who thus
basely insinuates that we're "it," will
Just show his nib we'll attend to his case
with neatness and dispatch. In the
words of the irate Teuton, "Dis iss de
