They Reap Not, Neither % They Spin,
but Are Always Busy.

How is 1t that birds and beasts
manage to pass through life without
succumbing to ennui. or at least with
out being bored nearly to death? asks
the Indian Times. Animals, as a
rule. do not loaf; 1t is n ,t thus that
they solve the problem. J.oafing is an
art which but few living creatures un-
derstand- Lizards, crocodiles and
chaprassies are the greatest authori-
ties on the subject. Animals have ac-
quired the knack of making much
ado about nothing; they have learned
to be very busy without doing any
thing. This Accomplishment obvious
ly differs from that OF loafing. 1t is
one which animals have brought to
perfection, and OF which many human
beings-chiefy women-are very able
opponents. There is overhead a wasp
busy exploring the holes in the trunk
OF tree. Why he does this he prob
ably does not know; he has no time to
stop and think He is quite content
to explore away as though his life de-
pended upon Ii. Five times within the
last six minutes he has infinitely in
spected every portion of the same
hole. All this labor is useless, in
sense. Without 1t. however, the wasp
would In all probability die OF ennui.
The wasp is not an isolated case.
Most animals are experts at frittering
away time; they spend much of their
lives in activity doing nothing. Watch
a canary in cage. He hops back
ward and forward between two
perches as though he was paid by the
distance for doing SO. Look at but
terfiy. He leads an aimless existence.
Nevertheless he is always busy. A
bee probably visits twenty times as
many flowers in day as a butterfly;
for all that the butterfly is always on
the move.

As to my being absent from my

at the hands of friendly attorneys at
the bar for the benefit of the county,
Notwithstanding the fiscal court had
raised the county attorneys salary
fifty dollars for the express purpose
of having legal adviser for the
county judge at all times.
Again, you say that l allowed my
self $25 to pay for my official bond.
This is like the statement made by
you about the partisan grand jury,
that indicted some parties for illegal
voting, where you claimed the jury
was democratic, when an examina-
ton of the records revealed the fact
that Z of the members of that Jury
were republicans. So it is in this
case. The record will show that the
fiscal court made the allowance, and
in the presence of the county attor-

If it is contrary to law now it was
then; why did he not call the atten-
ton of the fiscal court, as he should
have done.
You have called my attention TO
several little business things, which
go to show that you still harbor that
malice which cropped out long ago,
when you found out that your ill-te~-

grand jury. You still insist upon
me to name the persons who carried
the news of the indictment to the va

ter in this county know how he heard
it, and doubtless they further know
that the first parties who circulated
it are now denying it, and for this
reason We are not going to give you
an opportunity to deny it for them.

by my friend, that he only wants to
know who went to Frances Union,
Rosebud and Bells Mines, leaving
the impression on my mind that he
is acquainted with the gentlemen
who went to Shady Grove, Sheridan
and Tolu, and also the gentlemen who

that | did not have any chance to be

of which, you say, was lot of re-

Waiting is becoming lost art, and
that is why the American Society of the
Professors of Dancing, in their twenty
eighth annual convention at the Hotel
Majestic, did all they can to check the
insidious two-step. All summer the
young persons who wear lawn dresses
and have their sleeves rolled up to show
their plump arms and also the young
persons who take to flannel hats and
negligee shirts and white ducks have
been romping instead of Waiting, as
they should.
