THE PERPINDIKLAR MAN.

The perpindiklar man iz half-brother tew the square man, and iz az

uprite az a lamp-post.

He iz a dredful good kind ov a man tew hav laying around loose, and he

haint got but one fault, or rather misfortin, and that iz, he is so

stiff he kant dodge good.

I don't like tew see a man dodge everything, but thare are things in

this world that are cheaper tew dodge than tew buk aginst.

I like the up and down, perpendiklar man, yu kan alwus git at the solid

kontents ov him, by just multiplying him by himself.
