are on the increase in Republican Amer

Another fool, very common IN Chicagg
Il hope scarce in Somerset-is tbs
drunken fool A judge making = ten
peranee speech, said that no man ear
drink for thirty years without beinl
dead man, or drunkard or quitting
the habit A red-faced man arose and
said, Il deny It. The Judge then told 8
story Of negro who dropped corn-bread
soaked in whisky into the water to catch
fishes. One refused to be caught, al
though he ate the crumbs Calling al
other negro, he asked why be could not
catch that fish. why" was the reply
"a mullet-head has got no brains you
can't make him drunk" Our friend on
the other side may be Of the mallet-hesd
species.
The man that takes that into his mouth
that steals away his brains is fool, viii
live a fool and die a fool and be fool
forever. Young man, for your own sake.
for your mothers sake, and for Gods
sake, don't be fool
Again, there is the learned fool. l
have heard Of a German who spent bis
whole life preparing two quarto volumes
on The Wings Of Butterfly Another,
on Greek accents- Bot he found one
accent he could not account for. When
he had spent months on It he went to a
friend, who took the book, peered at
the accent, and said. ''that's fiy speck. y
Think of man spending his life on fly

Then there are absent-minded fools.
One Of these in Chicago thought he had
forgotten his watch-puIled it out to see
whether he'd have time to go back for
it, and calmly concluded be wouldn't
/ have time.
Men think thing is deep when they
can't see the bottom of it but I've seen
a mud puddle not an inch deep that you
couldn't see to the bottom of, because it
was mud paddle. And then again, I've
seen mountain stream that an elephant
could swim in, and you could count every
pebble in it, it was so clear.
Then there IS the frivolous fool the
giggler, continually giggling and litter
ing. There is time for everything q
time to laugh and time to weep. The
first miracle Jesus Of Nazareth perform
ed was at a wedding.
Then there's the solemn fool. don't
mean true solemnity, bat its mimic that
is called dignity. That nearly killed me

the city, the city would rot.
The solemnest bird Is the owl he has
a great head, mostly feathers The
solemnest beast isn't a hOrse-but he
has . great head on him, mostly ears
and the solemnest man has a great head
on him, with ears on il like the beast,
but mostly tucked inwaris to fill up the
vacuum.
One other fool is the only one l have
room for. 1t IS the man who in this
world of ours, this beautiful world, says
there IS no God. Let Us hear the conelu-
sion Of the whole matter. Fear God and
keep his commandments for this is the
whole duty of man. For God shall bring
every work into judgement, with every
secret thing, whether il be good, or
whether It be evil And they that be
. wise shall shine as the brightness Of the
firnament; and they that turn many to
righteousness, as the stars for ever and
ever
