It bein Friday--nuff sed. Don't ever try to tell me again that Friday
the thirteenth is unlucky.

If I was loose from the army, I could make a million dollars in the
umbrella business; its stopped pouring now, but comin in bucket fulls,
and we are looking fur orders from Washington any day to begin to
build a ark.

Last nite after taps me and Skinny wuz arguin about who wuz to blame
for this war. Confidentially Julie, I think it was Theo. Roosevelt. Do
you remember Julie, about ten years ago when Theo. was on a trip round
the world, he called on Bill the Twicer and Bill got out his army and
peeraded them in Theo.'s honor? and Theo. not wantin to be lackin in
perliteness, slapped Bill on the back and sed, "Bill with an army like
that you can lick the world," Member him sayin that Julie? Well he
did, and Bill the Two-spot, was d---- fool enuff to fall fur Theo's
bunk.

Yours 'till the Klown Quince sings the Star Spangled Banner.

BARNEY.
