True and Proper Brevity
Consists Net in Saying Less
but in net taking up time in saying mere than
is necessary.
Seme of these old things have long been
laid away in our minds and we have net had
lime te pass them along as solid geld coins
without a stain en them.
Scissors out anything you find worth
while, born of ether people's experience, and
pin it away for reflection, where you can find it
again.
It was for want of an extra nail in the loose
horseshoe of the army officer th?t caused a
detention of the army corps whose absence and
late arrival lest the battle.
This big building, se geed te us these days,
is full of helpfulness.
We mffm it.
