; practice.

Stop The Paper.
I've stopped the paper?yes, I hev,
I didn't like to do it,
But the editor got too smart,
And I allow he'll rue it.
I am a man as pays his debts,
And I won't be insulted;
So when tue editor gets too smart,
I want to bt consulted.
I took his paper 'leven years,
An' helped him all I could, sir;
And when it comes to dunnin' me,
I didn't think he would, sir,
But that he did, an' you can bet
I made it hot as thunder,
Says I, "I'll stop that sheet, I will,
If the cussed thing goes under!"
I hunted up the measly whelp,
An' for his cunnin' caper
I paid eleven years and quit!
Yes sir. I've stopped his paper.
