ULTRA CREPIDAM
[_]
[I think there must be some misunderstanding regarding my reference to the Catholic Church in the Philippines in my address at the Stanford University.—
Gen. Funston.]So stick to the weapon you know how to handle.
The tongue is a very uncertain convincer;
Don't draw it at all—keep it in, keep it in, sir.
I never have heard it was any great labor
To dig out your meaning when swinging your sabre.
Even dull Filipino (ah, green be the bed of him!)
Can manage to get it somehow through the head of him.
