THE FAST YOUNG NAN.

Acts Of AbsalOm. Who was

Rapid.
A large audience greeted Rev. b

church last night to hear him Civ

He never did live here. If he ever
was here it was before the war.
Such Fast young men" ss Captain
Parker. Judge Milo B air, Fred Wsg
enlander and Others were present las,
night to take in the wisdom gleaned
from historical facts as they dropped
from the speakers lips.
Absalom was the East Young
man"
Absalom was . bad egg. He was
handsome. He had q fine head of
hair. red necktie and We presume q
diamond pin as large as . skillet.
Of course the girls were "mashed"
on Absalom and that made their fa.
theirs and mothers mad.
The worst thing about Absalom,
and the preacher told it last night,
was that he rode q fine horse and his
father had to ride Q mule.
That would not be tolerated now
under any circumstances. We
wonder that it wss Al
lowed then, but if his father
had managed him right this would
not have been.
Yes. it cannot be denied
Absalom's daddy was o fool.
For 6ne horse Alb would ride,
While the old man rode . mule.
A6salom was a queer cross and no
wonder he went through time with
velocity. His father was good pray.

lime works changes.
At this age, in the twilight of the
nineteenth century, if there is any
'eathep in the family the old man is
star actor, while the good mothers
'rayers fill space with sweet perfume
nd blessings.
Another thing about this "fas,
Dung man" is that he was q politician
nd told lies.
There must be some error in this
istory, although it has been said that
istory repeats itself.
Again while Absalom was going at a
