Try It.

Prof. L. O. Thayre, the well-known lexicologist, calls our attention to a most interesting phenomenon, or whatever it is. The professor occasionally whiles away an idle hour with experiments upon words. Especially ioes he enjoy discovering what combinations may be made of the letters In proper names. He writes us that he has arranged the letters in the name of THEODORE ROOSEVELT so that they form a complete and characteristic sentence. The professor offers to contest publicly with any and all challengers after the JeffriesJohnson debate on the Fourth of July, and claims that he can make morq sentences of the letters in Colonel Roosevelt's name than any one else of his weight and age. The professor’s first exhibit is this: O, HE DOES LOVE RETORT. Can any of our readers equal or excel this?
