get ready % be buried yet. just as IL
folks could work without eatin'. why,
my old horse wouldn't hold out half
the forenoon unless she got her stomach
lined with q straight breakfast Of oats
and how can q human bein' expectsto
fare any better? Il locks like lazy
folkssand highbloods that lay abed un-
til eleven o'clock in the forenoon mite
get along without much break fast but
it don't work on laborin' folks like
Farmer Ben.4sI tell you, the nearer we
get to Natnr's laws the surer we are of
health and happiness. There amt no
use of knoWin' more than the Creator
about how to run the human hygiene.
When I get up in the mornin' and hav
MIXED and Watered the COW and tend
ed the old horse, I'm hungry and after
q while faint like for grub and no fad
can satisfy the stern demands and
yearnin's Of my stomick. I've got to
hav substantial film before I proceed
further. calkerlate that this: is the
normal condition and status of every
properly constructed human individual.
You just try to run q threshin' machine
with . handful of coal under the boiler
that won't make steam to warm q cat
and see how fur you'll get with your
work. j. asseverate that students make
a great zmiatakes in sthinkin' they can
study better on an empty stomick than
on a moderate breakfast: and I know
that the preacher that goes without his
Sunday meals durin' the day and hogs
down a lot of stuff after nine O'Clock at
night is on the high road to dispepsy
and premature weakness. = -
Amt it funny that the political hog
is the biggest hog on earth? lam
amused to watch my hogs work at the
trough. They amt satisfied with just
a good hold theirselyes but they push
and squeal and fight to get all the
Others away. I've seen one big one
start at one end of the trough and just
clean the whole row off for fear any;
body else would hav a chance. you've
noticed the identical thing in politix.
The big hog wants everything for his,
self and his own relativs and family
and nobody else must hay q smell.
\ You can tear yo,lr shirt off workin' for
him to get his pall and after he's got it
then he'll cut you outeveEy chance he
gets jnst like you had i fought him to
the Knife. I can It study this out to my
full satisfaction. 1t looks like poll
tician ought tobe grateful same as a
decent man, but he amt. I'll be bug!
gered if it don't look like the more you
do for 'em the more he expects and the
less he respects and appreciates. Every
place I=spose has its political hog and
the Austin hog is in evidence with the
rest. His bristles would make por-
cupine envious. Why can't George
Horned find some use for such carcasses
and try 'em up into soap grease and rid
the community Of 'em? They amt Of
any earthly use to anybody, just feeders
and stayers cormorants and question
whether they would eyen.make good
soap grease. The; worst of it is that
people will sit down anl#stand such
hoggishness., zzsss3gifss5zgsss555.S 5:55.=S

My paper tells of a young smarty over
in Michigan that was out in a boat
with two others last week and persisted
in rockin' the boat in spite :of the pro-
tests and zpleadings Of the Others. At
ter a while the boat went over, and
