better managed and run more smooth

We want to hear just one sermon
rom the man who can beat the prea-
,her preaching. We want to wit
less one days teaching by the same
elbow who can beat the teacher
We want to watch the
ellow do days blowing that can
beat the farmer farming. And theirs
,he fellow who knows more about
Medicine than all the doctors in the
we want to see him practice
lis art on himself for just one day. {
And then there is the fellow who can
beat the editor ten to one in getting

Kind of sheet he would issue from
he press. The trouble with such
characters is that they cannot attend
o their own business, aud therefore
link they know all about that of
,ther people.
