Never get too intimate
With your friends,
They may some day
Be your enemies;
Never be too hard
On your enemies,
They may some day
Be your friends.
_Smokehouse Poetry_
_Dear folk: We have some dandy stuff in store for you. Among the masters
who are writing for Whiz Bang the coming year are J. Eugene Chrisman,
author of “Poppies, Hell,” with his “Chi Slim,” “Keyhole Stuff” and
others; H. A. D’Arcy, author of “The Face Upon the Floor” with his
“Trapper’s Story,” “Charlie Wong” and others; Frank B. Lindeman, the
prospector-poet with his ode “To a Mountain Rat” and others; and last but
not least, some almost forgotten masterpieces of James Whitcomb Riley,
whose “Passing of the Old Smokehouse,” was one of the many hits of our
Winter Annual, Pedigreed Follies of 1921-22._
