﻿BONEYARD— 
(By T-BONE SLIM) 
 
Considering we have imitat[unlcear] sausages, creamless ice cream, [unlcear] en (excelsior) pillows and knowledgeless colleges, it gets my goat where [unlcear] can find no lawn of artificial grass [unlcear] we myst be losing our grip. 
Brace up, gents, something phon[ey] will crop up! 

The revolution will have to be [post]poned on account od the [unlcear] fans frooting for the home team. 

Civilization has now reached [unlcear] stage where we can dispense with [unlcear] services of the Society For the [unlcear] vention of Cruelty To A[nimals]. 
Why even jingoes in [unlcear]are so peaceful that it is a [unlcear]—I. W. W. hasn’t been on the front page since seven weeks tomorrow. 
Further: The S. P. C. A. is la[unlcear] down on its duties. 
I demand to know that the S. P. C. A. is going to do about those [unlcear]stipated dogs in Brooklyn. 

You have nothing to lose but your chains and “change” . . . . 
A broken chain; right through its weakest link—for be it remembered: A hose is no longer than its weakes link. 

I had no doubt about George Washington praying at Valley Forge until I saw the “Sesqui” picture of G. W. “imploring divine aid” for American troops. 
‘Methinks the “intolerants” are overdoing it—with the result that the harsh Washington is made to appear sacred. Making him appear sacred—makes it appear that George would tell a lie in a “pinch,” on one hand; and other other hand, it ddestroys the “belief” that he never told the truth—all and all, making him appear as a very ordinary father of his country —— 
I protest! 

“I speak but the truth” is a lie insofar as one can speak the truth only “to the best of his knowledge.” 
“I believe I speak the truth” [is] another fib—people don’t believe—they know—I think, or know, that I speak the truth in conformity with the [unlcear] and thinking [unlcear] that I have or haven’t! 
That’s a sweet way to put it! 
Suspicion is but a condition of [unlcear] complete knowledge—a word prest[unlcear]tute. 
Doubt and belief belong to the same family. 

Much u n d e s e r v e d criticism is tossed at the bull for his habit of chasing citizens “off his pasture” and reservation. This, too, in the face of the fact /As a Chicago paper has shown) when a bull chases a man he is only helping him to “break in” a pair of new shoes. 
I have every regard for the bull (except hjis steak)—especially do I honor him for swearing off cow’s milk; in this he is superior to man—for, verily I do “believe,” a man with his face buried in a glass of milk resembles a calf. “But milk is a good food.”— 
So it is, so it is—for babies. 

SHE’S “HUNG UP” 
 
One of the main reasons why labor finds itself in financial difficulties, from time to time, is the machine. The reason for this lies in the fact that machine is not the “same” tomorrow, today and yesterday. 
The machine changes from worse to “fair” and “not so worse” to better—in other words, the machine is a growing institution and not a fixed standard. 
If it was a fixed-standard, labor could very easily adjust the wages tso that there would be no shortage of shekels among the horney-lingered subjectys of the alarm-clock . . . 
Indeed, he might even grow [unlcear] careless as to forgot to wind the thing and ‘squently forget to wake up e’en for the romantic spurtposes [unlcear]ordained by the seld-manufactured overseers and . . . 
What’s the moral to this? 
The moral is just like this: 
The working class is too-much inclined to remain a fixed-standard and not a growing institution. The result of that is that it finds itself on the scrap-pile all too soon—a bystander on the outskirts of progress. 
Where’s the moral? 
Dam me if I didn’t quite forget the moral! 
Read the I. W. W. papers and progress with the crowd.B
