Suffice it to say that he was rapped some.

He was in bed for week, iguratively speaking One of those same youngsters made Spider Kelly the coach sit up and take notice. It resulted in Vernon being given the prize in the mainly art at Lawrenceville. He then went to Harvard or Yale. or some of those other high brow places. to get additional dope.

Standing perfectly erect and still. Then facing about quickly and gazing into tue dim distant past one may recollect that the time was when prowess, or in other words brute strength. was absolutely nee essary in a man to protect him from being ''rapped' continually by some other rude guy possessing surplus of said brute strength. In those days all men were equal in some respects, but when one of those massive mountains of flesh passed by and stepped on the index toe of a perfect stranger, said stranger did something rough if he were big guy. But, and mark you this, if he was lit tle cuss. what chance did he have?
 To equalize that proposition, diplomacy came along and rather than settle gentle manly disputes with brute display of brawn, one was accustomed to sip fair portion of grogg and settle all little and some big questions in that way. Of course that toestepping affair does not come under the head of diplomatic problems. Then came along a man named Colt who invented gun which balanced the scales between big brute and little man.
