It has been ‘‘sorter’’ like a sum- -mer flirtation, ‘‘very pleasant while it lasted.’ Quite a bit of . foolishness? Yes, but a little ‘nonsense’? now and then is rel- ished by the best of men, and if you have read carefully (between the lines) IT fancy you have got your money's worth. It’s only a “step”? from the ‘‘sublime’’ to the *‘ridiculous’’ and it’s hard to please all—some of you like one style—another likes something different, and so it goes. What appeals to one passes over the head-of the other, I try to be lib- eral and broad minded and ‘‘sar- castic’’ only when I feel the oceas- jon demands it. If at any time 1 say anything | am ‘‘sorry’’ for | will be ‘‘glad’’ of it and if the Germans don’t invade Peaceful Valley T will continue to continue. Hoping that this ‘foreword’? will alleviate any suffering I may have caused and that it may leave no bad taste in your mouth [ will proceed with.the sermon, All in . favor of the motion, stand on your heads. I thank you! The motion is carried ! Another of my youthful experi- ences, O, | was some gay ‘‘Lo- thario’’ believe ‘muh?’ T went walkin’ with a girl once (it was cheaper than ridin’) and the moon ‘‘bein’”’ full and the ‘‘sign’’ in the ‘heart’? T was some ‘‘addled.’’ I shore was and acted plumb fool- ish. Says I, life without you is what Sherman said ‘war was’’ but life with you would, be one long ‘‘nightmare’’ (T meant to say one long sweet dream) your brow is like a snow drift, your throat like that of a ‘‘Canada goose”’ (1 intended to say like a swan’s) and your eyes are like two ‘‘Lincoln pennies.’" So bright they would shed—would shed—(I meant to tell her they would shed more light than the sun) but I was all out of wind and some excited (it being my first declaration.) She either did not ‘‘sabe’’ or else she was afraid I would “‘die” on the premises for she said, y yes, never mind about the ‘“‘wood shed'’-—go-on with your ‘‘beauti- ‘ ful’ talk. When I got, back on “terra firma’’ [ was ten miles away from her and whistlin’ ‘‘ Has anny wan ‘ere seen Kelly’? and J kept goin’—1 ‘sho’? did.
