grown to think that poor children arc
born without noses7
Now, II the writer Of that article
had his way wouldn't he have oueer
lot Of children in Louisa? Something
like this. All children of parents
worth less than $500 must be born
without noses: all children Of parents
worth less than $1,000 may have noses
but not TO exceed one-elght of an
inch in length: all children OF parents
worth over $4,000 may have noses as
long as a COW tail. Now YOU know
that wouldn't do for a nose that long
would be eternally In some other
body's business. And most people
would rather have COW butt in. "
Now what about the garden sass:

He winds up the article with this
strong argument: / heard laboring

they ever owned. She was dry Cthe
cow and after feeding her all winter
without getting drop OF milk he
sold her Cthe cow for $40. | don't

careful perusal OF this story shows
that the only COW they ever had was
purchased by his wife. and the man
sold the COW, and the man got the $40.
I'm bet peanut against battleship

wife made 1t.

people who signed the petition were

once said "the Lord must love the
common people. or he wouldn't make
so many of them"
