TAM glad I dident marry man with
black eyes, sed Ma to Pa last
= mite. 7 luz you're blue eyes, deer
How much mummy do you want

Doant want any mummy, sed Ma
repeet that I 1uv yure blue eyes. The
reeson / luv yure blue eyes is bee
kause / was reeding in the paper that
all the greatest men in the history
of the wurld had blue or gray eyes
The artikle that / red sed that thare
was lots of vary nice gentlemen witch
had brown or black eyes, but that
thay was newer what you cud RELY
call big league guys. I guess it Is
pritty neer so at that sed Ma All
the men 1 know with black or browne
eyes is nice to have for friends. but
thay amt CRATE like julius Caesar or
Napolyun or Shakespeare.
Pa went & looked in the glass at
his blue eyes & then he sed to Ma,
Yes, deer, the artikle was rite. though
all of US really crate men do not like
to admit it. or course that doesn't
meen, sed Pa, that every body with
blue eyes is a CRATE man. Far from
it, sed Pa. Thare is a lot of men
with blue & gray eyes that is crate
only in one line, like CRATE book
keepers or CRATE shipping clerks. But
US RELY CRATE men. though 1 hate to
admit it, as I sed, all have them
PIERCING blue eyes or gray eyes witch
can look rite thru all the shams of
the wurld.
My father had brown eyes, though,
sed Ma. & he was the leeding man of
the town. He was Mayor of Colfax
till he got tired of holding down the
job & he held every other offs that
was worth holding.
What of that? sed Pa. 1t isent the
RELY CRATE men of any community
witch holds the offises The RELY CRATE
men are too busy to hold offises The
mayor of the average small town Is
a nice, important, old man that isent
much good at anything excep mayor
Ing. Wen a convenshun Gums to the
town he gives the members the keys
to the city & II any of the members
want to go sumware that hasent got
keys. the mayor feels offended.
doant think yure father was such a
CRATE man, Pa sed.
Yure father had brown eyes & he
wasent bit CRATE, sed Ma. You used
to be all the time telling what crate
man he was, but all I ever saw him :
do was to draw his penshun & talk
about Picketts Charge. OF course /
think all those old boys has rite to
they helped to save, but yure father
always made me feel, sumhow, that
he did moast of his shooting from bee
hind big tree & that the darker the
days of the Rebelyun was, the better
he liked it beekaus it is easier to hide
on a dark day.
oh, well. our fathers was both good
old scouts, sed Pa. Let us talk,
though. of the RELY CRATE men. Think
of the list, Goethe. Shakespeer, Wag
ner, Beethoven, Mike Angelo, Caesar,
Napolyun, Linkun. Mathewson & me.
But McGraw has got black eyes,
toad Pa, & he is crate man. l think
he is a excepshun. & the greatest
| fiteing man living is Jack Johnsing,
toad Pa, g. his eyes is black.
That is not the kind of fiteing men
the artikel ment, Pa sed. 1t ment the
CRATE feeders of armies. The kind of
| fiteing men like Jack Johnsing has
black eyes half of the time anyway.
| I know a CRATE excepshun to the
| rule, / toald Pa. Teddy Rusevelt
hasent got blue eyes.
Well, sed Pa. what of it?
