All Are Offenders.

My neighbor, johnson, plays
the flute, l hear him at it night
and day; he cannot play it worth
a hoot, and yet he whangs and
whangs away. There ought to
be a law. I've said, when much
incensed by music stale, where
by punk flutists might be led to
court, and fined, and placed in
jail. For nowadays we all be-
lieve in shooting laws at every
jay; if anything should chance
to peeve, we want a statute,
right away. And SO l sat me
down to think how | might have
IA statute framed to cinch that
fluting Johnson gink, and make
him sorry and ashamed. And as
/ sat, l heard him say to some
one, just beyond the hedge, II
wish that bard would move away
he surely keeps my nerves on
edge. He has a wheezy phono-
graph that plays a lot of ancient
slop; month after month l stand
the gaf, for there's no law to
make him stop. I'd play sweet
music on the flute, soft, soothing
chords that throb and thrill, but
when start that fat galoot
turns loose his clanking music
mill. Now, you are learned in
law, my man, so tell what meth
DDS one employs to get a statute
that will can that obese poet and
his noise" Long hours l sat
