tain a reader understanding; where
as, in public meeting, if ! CHANGED
to catch The eye of one such as never
believe in anything till they see 1t,
and are always found standing in
the road for progress to bump
against, I should perhaps lose my
self and. stray clear away from the
indiatipe mood entirely, for | am not
so cold blooded and evenly balanced
as to keep entirely cool and go on
with elaborate descriptions, should |
see one listener with about such q
smile of incredibly as the farmer
wore. whose nefghbor was undertake
ing to explain the superior advanta-
ees of filling both ends Of tie sack in
harvesting pumpkins, over the old,
old way of carrying u rock in one end
to balance a pumpkin in the other.
OF course, l can't hold up and keep
my finger on the place among dry de-
tails, for they generally squelch me
at once by their looks, which seems
ready all the time to make about
some such answer as the knowing
farmer made to. his neighbor: that
his grandfather done that and he al
ways made good, heavy pumpkins,
besides he couldn't pack more than
one at time, nohow, and lie guessed
it7was impossible, or his grandfather
weuld have done it! From such, all
such, and any such, Good Lord, de:
liver me! In vain you may use all
the technicalities of science; the pol.
ished phrase and accomplished die
ton of literature, and beat the empty
dir 10 vain to hammer one more idea
into their full heads; and yet when
such see the very thing accomplished
before their eyes, they are the very
first to say: ''Oht why ] could have
