He says, “That’s just a figure of speech,” and I says: “Good-by, feet! I

know something about figures of speech, and I’ll likely get a judge with

the same ideas that my uncle by marriage has—also the bartender; but you

tell them for me that they’ll know they’ve been to a party if they start

anything, believe me. I’ll make them go a plenty before they cut Dobie

Dalton loose from his boot-holders.”

Well, Hank, there ain’t no news. Hope you will ask those questions and

are too proud to want them answered for nothing.

Yours,

DOBIE
