A PEN SKETCH OF A LEwISTON
MCSSBACK.

mossback is the sleeping partner in
our business relations with the Pacific
Northwest. For all practical purposes he
Is a native.
Yes, he is peculiar to our climate, and
would be anywhere ontside of grave
yard.
Webster says: "Moss is an acrogeuous
crytogamous plant of cellular structure
with leaves and a distinct root"
In our mosshack the root is not distinct.
1t is imbedded in his spinal column, but
ho has all the other symptoms.
The word mossback as a term of re-
proach has as much carnestness or nppli
cation as a porous plaster.
When a man becomes a mossback he
is Of no use except to count one in the
census. He still brcathes, but his func-
tions have lost all hope, all ambition and
all nerve.
In waiting for things to turn up, the
mossback displays as much interest as
seven year old note. Yet if a thing
turns down when he expects it to turn
up, he don't seem to care.
Tn, mossback takes everything easy,
including the market price, malaria,
election returns, chlls, cod liver oil and
Gods name in vain.
He likes to talk politics, and when he
does he is generally down on corporations
and the head OF nail keg.
He is very reminiscent, and will 90
back eight miles to look for lost Inch
pin, when it is only a half mile to the
next blacksmith shop
He never leads anything unless it is
that portion Of his life not yet called in.
He joins the procession at the tail end,
long after the band has turned the.bend
in the road, and he loses the step
He takes no interest in the human
race, but hangs around the Judges stand
and waits to see the Others come in. He
never he's because he can't nfTord to lose
and don't know enough to win.
