How spite and jealousy will some
times make people act foolish !
Haven't you heard fellows say some
thing NEAR and contemplate OF n
person they had it in for, just as if
their own Jealous and ridiculous
opinion could or would he conveyed
to another! And isn't it singular
that even people otherwise consider
ed smart cannot resist the tempta-
ton to show this narrowness? For
instance, there's that big, brainy
political leader, Thomas {. Platt, OF
New York, who has become so angry
over political disappointment, that
he has made several vicious personal
attacks upon Major Mckinley. Does
the world take up Platt's complaint,
or rub salve upon his sores? No.
MIR. Platt is simply laughed at-and
given a lower place in the public's
mind.
