A SERMON ON MEXICO.

And SO this is going to be a
few scattering remarks on the
situation down in Greaserdom.
Yes, honey, the music is still in
progress down south of the Rio
Grande, with a pretty good pros
pect of getting over on this side
before it ends. And so [ reckon
Fool-killer sermon on the sub
ject won t hurt anything.
The eyes Of the world are on
Mexico, and every feller has his
opinion about it. If opinions
could have settled the fuss, it
would have been settled long
ago. But that's the whole trou-
ble-there s too many opinions
and here's one more. IF all
the Mexicans had just one opin-
ion there wouldn't be anything
for them to fight over. But a
Greaser would die if he couldn t
fight, and he's mighty apt to die
II hedoes tight, and so just let
him fight and die till he gets his
belly fuA of it. I'd much rather
it was him than me.
| have got plenty of things a
gainst Woodpile Wilson, but try.
ing to keep out Of that Mexican
mess is not one Of them. The old
school-teacher's s head is leve]
enough on that subject. Many
a cussin have [ heard Woodpile
get because he WOULDN'T declare
war against Mexico and send our
army down there to eat 'em ul
bloodraw. But I have never yaj
got any of these blood thirsty
patriots to tell me what busi
ness we We got meddling in Mex
ico's affairs. The only thing
they can say is that few rich
Americans have got large prop

erty interests down there, and
it s our duty to protect these
millionaires and their property.
Protect the devil! Why is one
man any better to be protected
than another? They don't think
nary time about protecting the
poor fellows who have been
VIII edled into joining the army
Blamed poor business [ call it
to have several thousand poor
men murdered just to protect
the property of a half-dozen mil
lionaires who knew the condi-
tions in Mexico before they went
there. If the capitalists were
not willing to take their chances
and bear the consequences, why
III dickens did they invest their
precious dross in Mexican prop
erty? Nobody compelled them
to do it. And now if they ex-
pect me to stick my carcass uI
between their property and the
Mexican bullets, they are bark
ing up the wrong tree.
Of course if some of these
blood-thirsty patriots here il
this country want to take it up
on themselves to go down there
and have their CUTS hung out t(
dry on the cactus bushes of Mex
ico-just let 'em hit the grit.
But, laWzy-massy me If i
should actually come to wal
these same brave boys who hav'
been wanting war so bad woul(

VIRGIN MARY OUT OF
DATE.
NO. 2.

Now, then, what do you
think? The infallible Pappy of
Rome has got down on his gold
plated belly and lavished lot
Of his holy slobber on the pretty
pink toes Of that dazzling darl-
ing, Dame Fashion.
Who would athunk it?
And that makes it look to
man up a tree that Dame Fash
ion is more infallible than the
Pappy is. How does it look to
you?
Ever since Heck was a pup,
one of the iron clad rules Of
the Vatican has been that the
wimman folks Of the Roman
Catholic layout must wear a lit
tie string around their necks,
and said string must support
little doodad which must hang
down in the neighborhood of
where the baby gets it's dinner,
and on the said doodad must be
a picture Of the Virgin Mary.
The arrangement worked all
right until Dame Fashion came
along with this new style Of col
lar which buttons around the
waist, and then the little Catho-
lie string with the Virgin Mary
doodad hanging to it, and show
ing against the snowy breast
: works Of Cupid s War Depart
ment-well, that had sort of
! tendency to mar the landscape,
you know.
, And so the good Catholic sis
