Sam Jones on Home.
"Home makes a man patriotic. A
man will fight for his home, but he
will not fight for his boarding house.
Laughter.I You a say anything
about it and do anything toward it:
the fellow amt going to fight. But a
man lives in his home and for his
home, and he viii die for his home.
A mans character is largely illus
trated by his homo. 1 sec a mans
fence dilapidated, window-blinds
hanging by threads, shingles loose. !
just think to myself, if this mans
character was visible as his home it
would look just as dilaridatcd. The
fence gives him away.
Home carries with it the idea that
you've got a wife and children. We
used to sing, What IS home without
a MOTHER but now its resolved itself
into this: What is home without 4
baby? Langhtcrl It's a poor go.
When God gives han a good Wifi
and ten or fifteen children, he has
done Il good thing for that mnn. But
when he just gives a MAI a wife anti
Il c,nary bird, he has sort of gone
back on that man. [Laughterl
The hardshcli preacher WAS right
when he said; In order &c get to
heaven You must do well for this
world. and no HAL tan do that until
he gets himself Il good wife. n good
home and a good cow Now, you
think of that. y good wifc-GOd
never gave a man ii nublcr or a better
thing. a good home-how grand it
is TO have such thing for a good,
true wife. y good cow-why, che
just enters into everything that comes
on The table and makes it good.
n wife has 4 good deal 10 do with
the home. y wife has 4 good deal to
do with what the husband eats, and
what he eats has a good deal TO do
with his character. The more hog |
meat a fellow cats the more he's like
Il hog; that's the philosophy Of Tic
whole business.
Many a fellows gone in to his table
morning after morning and seen al
dish Of floating tat meat in Il perfect
bay of grease, and ii plate of hard bis
cult. As soon as they got cold-thc
buscuits-you could knor K a yearling
down with them. And that fellow
would cut, and at . o'clock that morn
ing he would just have to get a drink
of something.
The very devil was in his stomach.
And many IL poor fellow is in Ii
grave on account of what his wife
gave him to ca. If | sat down 10
