WISDOM AND NOISE.

Frolicsome ice wagon drivers and
other early morning workers some
times seem to forget that other peo-
pie are trying to finish off a nights
rest, at the time they are so wide
awake and hilarious. franklin said
that "early TO bed and early to rise,
makes a man healthy, wealthy and
wise" but man. Paducah citizens
who think that 6 o'clock is an early
hour. believe that Franklin did not
exercise his accustomed sound
sense. in saying that early rising
makes for wisdom.
II the noises of the early morn
ing come from the wisdom produced
by early rising they are more than
willing to acknowledge that ignor-
ance is bliss. Few persons rise so
early as the ice wagon drivers, and
few create so much noise as they.
The changing gong and the gladstone
shout, that mark their course down
the street, indicate to the sleepy citi-
zen that early rising added rather
than stimulated the brain.
Paducah has to many useless
noises of all kinds, aud coming as
they do early IN the morning, when
nights rest can be made or marred
by its ending. they are especially
disagreeable. Ice can be delivered
without street-racing or voice-split-
ting yells.
