A boy can sit on a sled six inches

eight miles an hour. but can't sit
on sofa five minutes for dollar.
A man will cit on an inch board
and talk politics for three hours;
put him in church pew for forty
minutes, gets nervous, twists and
turns, and goes to sleep. A man
will pouch his cheeks with filthy
tobacco, juice run down his chin,
feels good; but hair in the butter
kills him. He stays out till mid
night, wife don't know where he is,
comes home when he pleases, but
If meal is not ready just ON time,
pouts, frowns and says unpretty
things. Evidently man is strange
animal. Gets full, beastly drunk,
imagines he's rich, a great man,
bets on the losing horses, gets
fights. lands in Jail, eyes dressed
for Easter, face frescoed and NOR
ais depraved, yet he is "Lord" of
all he surveys. Strange animal

is liable to indictment. He has
no more right to go around With a

habit of pistol carrying is not only
an indication of cowardioe but is
strong evidence of a lawless dispo-
