Htll wye Gives the Experiences of q
Bald Headed Mana

Much has been said Of the fly of the per-
iod, but few write about him who are bald
headed.
Hence we say a word. It is Of no use any
more to deny the horrible truth. Although
as beautiful as a peri in other ways, our
tresses on top have succumbed to the inclem-
ency of the weather, and our massive brow
is slowly creeping over towards the back Of
our neck. Nature makes all things even. IT
man be possessed Of such ravishing beauty
and such winning ways that his power
might become dangerous, she makes him
bald-headed.
That is our fix.
When we have our hat on and go chasse-
ING down the street with that camel glide of
ours every one asks who that noble looking
Apollo with the deep and melancholy eyeis;
but when we are at the office with our hat
hung up on the French walnut sideboard,
and the sun comes softly in through the rose
wood shutters and lights up the shellac pol
ish of our intellectual dome, we are not so
pretty.
Then it is that the fly, with gentle tread
and seductive song, comes and prospects
around on our bump Of self-esteem, and tick
les and makes us mad.
When we get where forbearance ceases to
be virtue, we haul off and slap the place
where he was, while he goes over to the ink
stand and smokers at US. After he has vs.
ded around IN the cannon ink awhile he goes
back to the bump OF spirituality and makes
some red marks over it.
Having laid off his claim under the new
mining law he proceeds to sink on it.
If we write anything bitter these days if
we say ought against our fellow man that is
disagreeable or unjust, and for which we af-
forwards get licked, it is because at times we
get exasperated and are not responsible.
If the fly were large and weighed 200
pounds, and came 10 here and told us that if
we didn't take back what we had said Of him
he would knock out the window with our re-
mains and let us fall q hundred feet into the
busy street it Wouldn'tWorry us SO much, be-
cause then we could strangle him with one
hand while We wrote 8 column editorial on
Conkling with the other. We do that fire.
quently, But q little fragile insect, with TO
home and no parents, and only about four
Or five million brothers and sisters, gains our
confidence and then tickles our scalp until
we have to write with a sheet of tar-ro06ng
over our head.
Then he comes in and help us read our
proof. We don't want him to help as, but
he insists on making corrections and putting
Fluctuations in the wrong place, and put
ting full stops where they knock the sense
all out of the paragraph.
If the fly could be removed from our path
way, we would march along ia our journey
to the tomb il a way that would be the envy
and admiration Of the world. As it is we
feel that we are not making q very handsome
record.

tice with hoodwinked eyes and sword. fAn-
plause] From every gaping wound of our
dead chief, from every wound Of our divine
Secretary Of State and his son, let the voice
go up to the people to see to it that our house

thing more For mere revenge I would do
nothing, This nation is too great for mere
revenge, but for the security Of the future /
