women. Then the people can say
when you go to your room to retire
for the night. Here lies little Memo,
on his first wife's bed, with his head
resting on his second wife's pillow,
with his third wife lying by his side,
and next July he is going to celebrate
his fourth"
| stated in my last column to give
the women a rest, for what do you
and l know about the women. For
you and 1 belong to the single bliss.
Now, you talk about your women's
rights. Suppose they had the right
of the fire department. Why, when
the first fire would break out you
would be the first one that would run
to them 20 help hoist their hose. And
before they would be called out for
fire they would kill a lot of time pow
dering. If they ran out of falcon
powder they would go to the flour
barrel and slap it on so thick that if
they were caught out in shower of
rain it would roll off them in biscuits.
Now, if your brains is worked up so
much on the fair sex, have biscuit.
Oh, believe me or not, but If you
was only a lecturer, Liberty Ridge
would be lit up with electric lights.
But, kid before you do that don't
look into the business end of a gun
for the trigger may slip and you will
be the backstop, and don't make the
public think that you are a fresh pea
nut, for if you do you will always get
roasted, and don't never look for a
wishbone in a soft-shell egg.
You say, "Stick to the subject"
What have you been doing flying
from one to the other. When you first
came out you was wet, the next
dry. Stick to your one subject and
save your principle, and let the peo-
pie know how you stand and don't
be like the fellow in the morning, who
was for Carrie Nation, strong. But
before night you ought to seen him,
for it beats all what a difference
few hours will make, and if you and
Rev. Recht are on the best of terms,
as stated, why in the world don't you
answer a friends letter. You are
right when you say Mr.. Recht is
gentleman. l agree with you there.
But claim to be a debater You claim
you have discussed a subject. In your
last weeks letter to the public that
you disguised your subject. II you
are going to keep up coming at us
with that kind of language you had
better get your tonsils cut or you will
get tangled up in hobble skirt yet.
1t is safer to swim in your own tank,
so you won't get in over your head.
Like Cook claimed he discovered the
North Pole, and Peary claimed he dis
covered the North Pole. But now they
say that Peary got the pole and Cook
got the hook.
Now, the chief of the weather bu-
reau and experts of the wind can't put
the hobble skirts on Sitter.
Now, have handed you enough for
this time. Goodby, wishing you all
kinds of happiness, and Jeidy my best
regards.
