EPIGRHYMES:

I’m settln’ out a row of POSTS to fence some pasture land. Now, my idee OF HONOR is to set ’em so they’ll stand agin’ the storms of winter and the crowdin’ of the stock; for my ol’ boss leaves things to me: “My boy, you ARE a rock,” he tol’ me once, “for EVERMORE them POSTS will stand, if I show you my sense OF confidence —no DANGER that you’ll try to make work easy for yourself AND free yourself OF CARE if you just feel it’s up to you, and thdt your boss ain’t there.” Now this may sound like blowin’ my own horn, but, ’seems to me, that this is what Tim Titcomb meant, and I think, honestly, that this here war’s another proof that what he said was right to hold Our Country's honored post both you and me must Fight I Robert \Russell. "Posts of honor are evermore posts of danger and of care.” (Copyright, 1917. by.lnt’l Press Bureau.)
