Jim Cam was sore at Melvin Jay, the reasons are unknown; the trouble started one spring day when they were both alone. So Jim, as men are wont to do, saw Jay in bitter light; he saw in him no purpose true, no thought or action right. And then one day a chance appeared to tell a sordid tale, and as Jim told a scandal leered that turned his hearers pale. The folks who heard with wild dismay were shocked to say the least, yet stopped their friends upon the way and spread it west and east. The story spread and daily grew to mon strous shape and size; and not a word of it was true, such is the power of lies. In days that passed the truth arose and silenced scandal’s flame; yet Melvin Jay still feels its blows, it left hiru worn and lame. Jim Cam who first made up the tale is known both far and near as just a liar who should in jail end up his punk career. Our enemies with ease we sting by gossip’s poisoned fang; yet if we do we’ll find the thing will prove a boomerang.—Brick Smith.
