AROUND THE OFFICE 



M.-A.-O. 



Doggone it! The Boots have just squoze 

 me down to about nothin ' at air this time. 

 I guess my total eclipse and extinckshun as 

 a author aint far off. They say I ain 't no 

 business takin ' up so much space. They want 

 it all for their tony, high, stuck-up depart- 

 ments like E. E. Eoot 's. Dr. Miller's, J. E. 

 Crane's and Grace Aliens 's. But the real 

 truth is, it 's a case of oppreshun, so it is. 

 I guess I know what oppreshun is. I have 

 had it all my life along with suppreshun. 

 They 're somethin ' alike. I could stan ' it 

 better if it was weather so I could go fishin ' 

 down where it 's all quiet and soothin ' back- 

 side of the old woodlot. If I get back in 

 next month, look out. I '11 bet I '11 peel some- 

 body. See if I don't.
