The Festive Fly.
From the Atchison Globe.

Flies are despised, but IL everyone was
as persistent and as hard to discourage as
fly more people would succeed. When
a fly gets after person II never knows
when to stop. 1t may be scraped of fifty
times, but 1t Immediately comes back
again and lights In about the same place
Sometimes it flies off some distance and the
prosecuted person thinks 1t Is gone, but
it never forgets and soon returns and
makes a more determined effort than ever.
All efforts to kill fly usually result only
in personal injury and do not even scare
the fly. The Bible holds Job up as an ex-
ample Of patience, but We bet there were
no flies in his time.
