New York Weekly, v. LX, no. 49, September 16, 1905 (Issue) |
| Author: |
Thorn, Kate

| Date: |
September 16, 1905 |
| First Sentence: |
Everybody knows, from bitter experience, the human biped denominated a bore. |
| Last Sentence: |
There is no statute against the bore; you cannot have him arrested and sent to the house of correction, like any other nuisance; you cannot pay his fare and send him by express to Canada, because he will not go; you cannot put him in a bag, with bricks tied to his neck, and drown him, as you would an unwelcome cat; you cannot shoot him, because you would lose your self-respect thereby-so what can you do but go on enduring him, and look upon it as a sort of punishment for the sin you committed when Adam and Eve listened to the serpent, and caused the foreclosure of the mortgage on the farm at Eden. |
