We think that
Our well-known carpenter
Who advertises that he
Can do anything that is done
With a hammer and saw
Would make a good president,
Because
He is such q good cablnetmaker.
But this has nothing to do
With the narrowing experience
Which he had the other day
When man appeared at his shop
with six young dogs, or
As we should say, puppies,
And asked elf to amputate
Their signal flags which for
ConyentiOnality's sake we will call
Tails.
Complications OF conversation set
in
Immediately, and as q result
The man took his proteges
And went to nearby butcher shop,
Where he found
That the high price OF sausage
Made it poss bic for the operation
To he performed, and with
Profit TO him also, for
The price OF meat is high.
