quite a likely passel OF our Fel,er
/ Citizens were seen at large this
/ morning. They burToWed from the
stuffy, whale-oil warmth OF their
| igloos into the crisp winter air and
rOamed over the les fields with utter
disregard for the consequences. They
/ did not know we had a number OF
| bear traps set. A bear trap, baited
/ with succulent interrogatiOnS will
catch a Teller Citizen just as EARLY
/ Ter Citizen kicks UP more OF q rumpus
when the metaphorica1 jaws snap
\ shut on one OF his fiippers.
Here is our mornings bag:

with some pride that he has worn

4 they haven't been resoled or polished
1 yet And having seen the shoes, we

4 pointment OF not having an oppor-

! slickest and speediest horses on the
1 boulevard. but refuses to state what
