About the time everybody was hik-
ing out to his country home early last
summer Mr.. Goitt made 2 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
Il in mind. It's bad enough to lie in
bed until 1880 and s o'clock of
morning during the winter months in
town. But it won't do at all after we
get out to the country. No, stree! The
man that stays in bed after five
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 If every
body would do that Funny, though.
how some people like to lie in bed
OF a morning and miss the prize por-
ton Of the day
In something less than a week after
that Mrs. Goitt was endeavoring to
awaken her husband and get him out
of bed In time to catch the eight
o'clock car to town.
II 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 a 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 well aroused and |
getting warmed up to his subject. |
Don't 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 |
a silly fad has been exploded long |
ago? Well, it has You know that now
If you didn't before And after this /
want you to lemme sleep Arc you
aware Of the fact that the insane asy-
lums have more farmers in 'em than
any other class? Why? Because the
farmers all get up SO early in the
that's why This early ris-
ing bug of yours has gone just about
far enough
After that Mrs. Goitt gave up trying
II her husband wanted to miss his
breakfast in order to catch his car
lalf the time, he could do it,
But just the other day when the
ioitts were talking about coming back
o town again for week or So Goitt
spoke up in about this wise i've put
lp with this heathenish system of get
ing up when the days half over out
lere, just to be obliging But | want
o so on record right now to the ef-
ect that we're going to be up and do
ng at our house this winter Our
)lay timell be over and I'm going to
,e down at the Office by eight o'clock,
Ike other men that are up to snuff.
And if can't get breakfast here at
lome before noon TIL have to get it
It some dairy lunch and make the best
Il it, that's all"
