In prose in one of our exchanges last

treacherous kicker, the kicker who is
never true; who always is crying and
never is trying some good for his own
town to do. No need to correct him, nor
need you expect him to go to the front
like aman; while others hustle he'll sit
down and rustic objections to every
plan. But when the brute dies we'll
