a you Will n that h early set
tiers kept house. When they fought
the Indians they fought for their
homes, not for their boarding houses.
In those days every man knew what
it was to have his W vine and fig
tree to worship and beer up under.
Those were trying times, when a mar
couldn't move without having a gun
in his hand. Those were days when
the gun was mightier than the sword
and pen together. And no man had
to look down the barrel to see if it
was loaded. When a man took his
family to church he took his gun
along. When ne sat down to dine
he sharpened the carving knife on
the gun barrel. The gun was a reg
ularly ordained member of the fam
lily. The head of the house wore it
on his back in the day time and slept
with it at night for self-protection.
Yet under those trying circumstances
the colonial settler kept house.
Go all through history and you will
find that the great men were ''house
keepers and not ''boarders." Lin
coin kept house in q log cabin.
Queen Victoria has always kept house
and she could live at a French res.
taurant and have pie four times a day
if she wanted to. You all know that
the Gear of Russia keeps house, and
most of the time he keeps in the
house. 1t is such a risky business
for the Gar to go out and take 6
walk that he is generally found in the
bosom of his family in a suit of ready
made iron clothes. The Czarina can
not sit on his lap without catching
cold. When he has his entire suit Oh
he looks like the catcher of a bast
ball team. When any one steps OF
his feet he cannot feel 1t, even if i
is the rude porter who comes daily t.
polish him up with bath brick. If
| picture comes down off the wall anC
hits him on the head he never knows
anything about it until he's told
He's so used to having dynamite
thrown at him that he can't feel
picture. The only time when he il
successfully blown up is when thu
Czarina gets at him-and she's thu
only one who can blow him up ant
