Diplomacy

John Smith and William Jones were
friends and never came to blows
Except when John rose and wallOped
William the nose.
Il crave to know" said Bill to John, 1.-The
wherefor and the why
For answer. John hauled off again and
blackened Williams eye.
1T seems that you are growing rude"
said William unto him.
And John hauled off and swung his right
and doused the other glim.
To emphasize his friendliness he hooked
him on the chin
And trod upon his favored corn and kicked
him on the shin.
1T seems to me-" said William, and his
voice was sad and panied,
1T seems to me our frfendliness is some
what drawn and strained"
And so he took his pen in hand and sat
him down and wrote
long and academical but stern and force
full note.
We refrain from picking the winner of
the Dillon Moran conflict. but we have no
hesitation in predicting that it will not be
