The editor of this paper takes
pride in noting the following points
of resemblance between himselfand
the gentleman who is to be our next
President.
"He wears a y hat So do we,
of the vintage OF the summer OF 'oi.
"He wears a g. shoe and can wear
a6. We wear superseded NUN.
bers, one a 3 and the other a CD
but we could compromise on a . If
il was a good gearer. lie has a
bunion on the right foot and no
corns. There's where We differ
with him. We sport cOrns on both
feet, and a sore on our heel where
the ventilation was placed in our
sock.
"Hls neck measure Is 1G1' Don't
say whether inches or feet, perpen-
dicular or circumference. If either
inches or feet up and down he beats
US to the tank. lit means circum-
ference, we repeat what we have
said before, that he is a sort OF
bull.necked old structure, anyhow,
and we are not built that way.
ale wears open front shirts at
$27 a dozen. We wear them open
front and rear-especlally rear
and If we ever own dozen we'll
pay the price and ask no questions.
"He seldom carries a silk, but
usually a linen, handkerchief. We
carry none at all, but We wipe our
tears away on our coat sleeves just
the same.
ale keeps one horse. We have
a nelghbOr who keeps one, but he
keeps it awful close. Perhaps he
knows best.
ale smokes small cigars and
does not smoke to excess. Small
are the cigars We smoke, and II
ever we smoked one TO excess We
are not aware Of 1t.
"His whiskers are getting gray.
Ours will get that way. Only a ques-
ton OF time. He uses bay run on
his HAIR and no oil. We use com
mon water week days and neatsfOOt
oil Sundays.
ale is fond of baseball. SO are
we, at a safe distance. But there
is one thing, he certainly made a
base hit this time.
"His chest measure is thirty
seven, his waist fOrty-twO. Ours
fiuctuates, and we have not figured
out the average. He has good
deal of stomach, aud we have a
pretty good one, too, but it is pa
tient and long suffering.
"He weighs $50 aud appears to
be five feet seven and half. Well,
there are times when we feel ten
feet high and weigh ton. but not
ordinarily.
ale does not fancy jewelry.-
Neither do we. 1t rs money thrown
away, aud our preacher denounces
the custom Of wearing it. Another
ching, We could never endure $40
saddle on a $50 horse.
ale wears high buttOned coats,
and seldom arrays himself in suits
OF one piece. That is our way pre-
cisely. High buttoned coats tell
no tales, aud suits of different
pieces are extremely convenient.
ale reads tor recreation. Is
fond of Scott, Eliot and Ihackeray.
We read Tor the recreation OF clip
pling from our exchanges, and we
like all of them that get up good
stuff.
"He goes to bed at 10, gets up at
G or Z. Sometimes we go to bed,
but 1t is nobody's business what
hour. AS to getting up 1t depends
upon the condition OfOur conscience
and the state of the weather.
"Tbe family cooking Is done by
an old 'aunty. Ours is, too, but
We have to change them about once
a week. They are such stlcklers
about financial matters.
ale is "a Presbyterian deacon
Well, some of our best subscribers
are Presbyterans, and We make no
inyidious comparisons; but well
just bet him years subscription
to the Guardian against the Hong
Kong Consulate that we can beat
him taking up a collection with
one hand tied behind US.
ain some ways We resemble each
other, and in others we bear a
stronger resemblance than he does
