Puzzle No. 95

MODERATION

By Porter R. Lee

Never too much of anything is the slogan of this constructor. He gives you a puzzle of moderate difficulty, but a set of easy words and then a terror hidden among them like a serpent in the grass. The puzzle runs its way at an even tenor, like an honest man’s life.
