don't believe you; I just believe every
word of it, and I'll bet you spring
hat it's all true American gospel"
So, was called upon to settle the
bet, and I am not going to tell you
who it was, but you ladies keep your
eyes open and see if you notice a
very pretty toppiece adjoining the head
of one of our charming married ladies.
That's the bet. But, as ! said in the
beginning: what a reputation for
truth and righteousness this column
has gained for the writer. But what
is a poor man to do?
How-some-ever, just this one time,
I'm not guilty. Every single letter
word, phrase, clause, sentence, para
graph-indeed the entire thesis was
couched in language containing the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth SO help me Josh Bill
lings. That was one time I trod the
straight and narrow, hewed to the
line, no matter whether I chopped
toe off or not. And I want all you
people who peek into the column to
know that what it contains is not al
ways prompted by Beezlebub, the
Prince of Devils. It does contain
sometimes a medicum Of truth; and
please look your hardest to find it.
After all is said and done, tho, I
reckon there is something in connec-
ton with what ! try to write akin to
what is kown as poetic license. May
be I am allowed a little leeway. Per-
haps I'm travelling on a four-way
road which admits Of a more speedy
rate of travel, and, sometimes, of
violation Of traffic rules. And, per-
haps, it's good thing If I do get
called down, once in a while. It will
make me more careful as the days
come and go, and maybe, If I can
keep in the middle Of the road, my
reputation will shuttle off some of
its rough exterior and take on more
refined appearance. Let US all hope
for the best.
