About the time everybody was hik'
ing out to his country home early last
summer Mr.. Goitt made Few re-
marks anent early rising:
There's one thing we're going to do
as soon as we get out In the country
again" says he to his wife. We're
going to get out of bed in the morning
as soon as the birds begin to STIR
around that they'll think we're trying
to beat their time. That's what we're
going to do, and hope you'll just bear
it in mind. It's bad enough to lie In
bed until 1880 and o'clock of
morning during the winter months In
town. But 1t won't do at all after we
get out to the country. No, stree! The
man that stays in bed after nVe
o'clock on a summer morning misses
not only the finest time of the day.
but the most splendiferous time OF the
whole year. Nothing can equal those
first two or three hours after sun up
on a balmy, dewy summer morning'
Then's when a man ought to hustle
out and get some Of that priceless
early morning oxygen into his lungs
before breakfast. You wouldn't hear
of many cases of dyspepsia II every
body would do that. Funny, though,
how some people like to lie In oeo
of a morning and miss the prize por'
ton Of the day.
In something less than a week after
that Mrs. Goitt was endeavoring 10
awaken her husband and get him out
of bed in time to catch the eight
o'clock car to town.
1t was some moments before he re-
gained even partial consciousness.
Then her words concerning nine hours,
sleep being enough for any man just
seemed to harass HIM to the point OF
actual grouchiness.
"Whatchuh wanta drag man out
of bed for just when he's getting the
best part of his sleep?" he asked pee,
vishly. "This thing of getting out OF
bed in the early hours of the morn
ing is the most bughouse gag you've
tried to pull off since I've known you
What's the sense to it, anyway? BY
| that time Goitt was we'll aroused and
| getting warmed up TO his subject
Dent you know" he went on, that
all this talk about the advantages OF
getting up early in the morning and
losing your sleep just for the sake Of
silly fad has been exploded Ions
ago? Well, it has. You know that now
| If you didn't before. And after this
want you to lemme sleep. Are yor
aware of the fact that the insane asy
lums have more farmers in 'em thar
any other class? Why? Because the
farmers all get up so early in tht
morning, that's why. This early ris
ing bug of yours has gone just abou
far enough"
After that Mrs. Goitt gave up trying
If her husband wanted to miss hi
breakfast in order to catch his ca
half the time, he could do it.
But just the other day when th'
Colts were talking about coming bacl
to town again for week or so, Colt
spoke up in about this wise: 1--we pu
up with this heathenish system of gel
ting up when the days half over ou
here, just to be obliging. But wan
to go on record right now to the ei
feet that we're going to be up and dc
ing at our house this winter. Gu
play time'lI be over and I'm going t
be down at the Office by eight o'clocl
! like other men that are up to snuff
And if 1 can't get breakfast here q
J home before noon I'll have to get
: at some dairy lunch and mako the bes
of it, that's ALL"
