the burned thing don't last too long. One
of these long winded paniks would
strain my credit system powerfully, but
everybody must do the best he, she or it can
and trust to Providence for the sequel.
Mr.. Nevin, Sur-Now is the time for
foaks to show what metal they are made of.
Now is the time foaks to hold up their beds
and hav confidence. II everybody who has
got surplus will lend it to them who
basent Zone Of whom / am which, things
will get equalized and regulated in no time.
There is plenty Of money and plenty OF
truck for everybody If it was .deyided out
right. I've always managed to get my
sheer, though at times it's required more
strategy to keep the little Arps in vittles
and cloaths than Bonypart displayed in his
retreat from Moscow. telIgou what's o
solemn fakt, whole passel Of children of
all sizes, from saddle tack up, will sharpen
poor mans wits quicker than anything in
the world-espeshuaily il Che old hen keeps
up respectable cacklin 10 the rear. "Keep
mosin, old mau, keep movin and never
sayide. Bullrun's. shoes are out at the
toes. Chickahominy hasent got whole
coat to his back, and you know he's begin
min to notice the girls little, and wants to
go decent; Shenandoah must have a meriner
dress for the winter, and the baby is obleegcd
to have a pair Of little blankets for his crib
Five or six of the others want shoes and
stokens jest as soon as you arc able to get
EN-. The shugar is out, and the coffee is
low, and last weeks washin amt paid for,
and you must send q manto fix that leak in
the roofto.morrow."
My good wife is thoughtful oman, and
when she tells me she wants anything, as
soon as git able, know exactly what TINT
means. 1t means she wants it by to-
morrow night, if not sooner, and tell you
| always display my finest taktiks in such
emergencies. In fakt, do the very best
can. It's the cumfort Of my life to look
back and say, "Ive almost worked up to
her skedule." If the future looks dark
shut my eyes and dream over the past.
like Ed. Newton bekaus he keeps his spirits
up. He's a drummer in New York, and he
sed that in all this tremengious crisis, which
hav shuk the nation from centre to cirkum-
ference, the New York drummers have
stood firm and solid as the rock Of Gibrawl-
ter. lie sed they was all doin the very
best they could. Sid Hughs is an envious
man, reckon, for he sed the New York
drummers was even with the world, and
had nuhtin to bust on. That they owd
about as many as they dident owe, and they
dident keer a darn. Well, know that Ed
is nifty clever for he give me hat-which
lat, however, hay excited some invidious
aud random remarks sense got home
Sich remarks are very natural when man
goes to wearn new cloaths before he pays
for the old ones.
Ny motto hay always been to do the best
you can, and keep one eye open to the
bright side. The mountains most always
disappear jest before you get to EN- and il
you do have TO climb over Occasionally,
you are shore TO find few flowers on the
way up you look for EN-. A chestnut
burr has got sweet nut hid away in the
middle ofit, There's heap Of good things
with burrs over EN-, and he's.a sensible man
who knows how to git the goodies out
without stickin his fingers. I'm not goin
TO go crazy about panik or lost money or
busted banks or any other transitory SER
cumStance. A little meal and few pota-
toes will do my family till Zines get better,
and know dozen clever farmers who will
trust mo for that. Farewell sirkus-fare
we'll, old clown There'll he big gap in
your aujience this time, shore. Me and the
boys can keep up respektabul ring and
play boss at home il we want to, and Mrs
Arp and the girls can set around and holler,
whopee AT any rate, we are bound to do
the best we can.
It's every mans duty these times to be
keeFful and prudent. Paradise wasent made
for fools. went a chesnut huntin. one day
with feler, and he got out on limb and
cut it off betwixt him and the tree. lie
broke his arm, and had like to broke his
neck. heard poor carpenter say yester-
day that he'd be doeged his cats if he
wouldn't lay down ard die before he'd work
for less than two dollars day, panik or no
panik don't feel responsible for no sich,
They may go to heaven in their own bal
loon, il they want to. Me and Josh Bilins
was lookin at the Graffik balloon the
other day, aud after it was gone he heaved
sigh and says he, carp, don't like bal
looms. About eighteen years ago TUX
