A Bull, Lost, Strayed, or Stolen
A greeting from the Chitina
crew,
To the famous B. A. Mister
Pugh,
Whose pleasant, pointed line of
chaff '
Gave us all a 1)(dirty laugh.
That 'write-up of the Clutina
men
Was all blarney from a skill
full pen;
It flowed with such a smooth
sweet tone,
loti must have kissedthe biar
ney stone
You spread, it on as thick as
glue,
Oh, Mister Pugh! Oh! ! ! Mister
Pugh'!
him Swalley says he lost no sleep
For the tools he lost in the
river deep.
And Way man weeps—-his heart
is full,
You have him beat with your
hue of hull*
Says the Great Lakes captain
John Gravdal;
’’That bull’s'so strong it hr >ke
its stall.’’
And Ed Findeen said with a
: no

| The cook—he leaned against the
shelf
And laughed — he nearly chok
ed himself—
As Eddie asked him, ’’Why, what
for?
"Mister Pugh don’t leave his
bull outdoor?”
Your old friend Foss had this to
say:
”It‘s the same old ’bool’ in the
same old way.”
Said Mister Casey at the Bat:
’’Pugh has got the gulf down
pat. ”
He told, the bard called Donahue
To send your bull right back
to you,
To feed it well with lots of hay
And maybe you can make it
pay.
Ed. note. The above found its way to
the desk and our duty to the public
compels us to print it—as a warning'
