Four hundred years of peace in China until the noble white man came, first with his opium containers and missionaries and then with his oil-can- since then peace has been conspicuous by its absence. In the early days, not so long ago, before the influence of white man's refreshment took hold, the noble Red Man in our own/ and lived to a grand old age- Chief John Smith, the last time, saw him in Bena or Ball Club, Minn., was 134 years old. I suppose he has gone ton the happy hunting ground by now far that was 25 years ago. My la grippe took one look at the sun today (Meh 31) and reduced itself to "grunt" stage. You have social security; you pay income tax to the state and one to Washington, the HOLE is about to take over your house; your job at the plant is endangered by the quarrel between several dissociated unions (unsocial condition to be sure) and you have night sweats, wet around the collar- that's why some wisecracker said: " lower the halo six inches and it makes a nice noose." - What's the matter with that crack? Nothing at all- the man stubbed his toe on a great truth, Enough of that said, editor- opinions differ. One witness says "the man tried to kick the the complainants teeth into his throat"; the other says "the complainant was trying to bite-off the defendants toe." So there you are- we hardly know what to believe. But even so as swallowed teeth are good evidence (if they actually can be produced and you have a witness that the"cherry stones") came out- or an able liar that effect- or a missing toe with the additional testimony that the may he mite see me very well fed for these pardons times, so too an empty emphoard is positive proof the parasite have cleaned out our root cellars- and rathskellers.
