and Eve, and without a shadder of a
doubt it will continue, more or less, as
song as the world stands. OF course a
man amt apt to acknowledge that he
Is ruled by woman, and they seem to
think because they were created before
her that they are about twice as much
consequence-I amt refsrin' to Benja'
min-but dear suz, l never thought II
wuz much OF fe at her in their caps.
Accordin' to the Bible. the animals
and sech like WIZ made and then man
was created a superior bein' over them
creeters. Then there being still great
chance for improvement, woman wuz
made last, and wuz so nigh perfection
there wuzn't ever nothin' made to out
do her. To be sure curiosity wuz a
great drawback. but have always felt
that Eve wuZ SO pestered by Adam a
wonderin' and guessin' and a hangin'
round that tree, that she jest tasted of
the apple to satisfy him as much as her
self. There wuzn't nothing selfish
about her. for accordin' to all accounts
she gave him the biggest half and all
the core. OF course he laid it all to her
and she wuz honest enough to own UP.
and I suppose took most all the blame.
l sartinly think if any one talnt is
hereditary, it's curiosity. It's handed
down from one generation to the other
l recollect Jedediah Bumpus heard Il
noise in his cellar one night and he WIZ
dretful curious to know what it wuz.
but, like Adam, didn't jest like to
venture himself, so finally he lit the
candle, and says he to his wife: Come.
Hannah, You go down cellar and III

I'm rite here" Howsumever, when
aud spittin' up them stairs, Jedcdiah
dropped the candle and departed for the
bedroom considerable lively, scared
nigh out of his senses. l hain't no call
to tell folks his senses wasn't anything
to boast on, and as 1 don't believe in
sayin' spiteful things of anybody. !
Lhan't mention the fact.
Now my other half is drstful GU
rious man, but he amt no hand to
sneak out of difficulty and lay it on
his wife. The fact is, Benjamin's worst
fault is carelessness, and I have had
dretful hard work to break him of it.
II amt my way to fuss and soold. l
believe in lxeepin calm and infiucncin'
folks.
Wall. meditated quite spell, and
Mt last I decided on a way of breakin'
him OF his needless ways. or course
consulted Benjamin first; l always do.
ana think every wife should show her
husband respect in that matter. It's
dretful good idea if you want to have
your own way, for naturally your other
half will be pleased to think you have
such high opin ion of him and viii most
