Nature makeimen free7" was ques-
 tion recently asked by one of the later : day philosophers.
 Well, brother, to answer this question,
 we twill say she does aud We will say
 she don t. In the first place nature
 made man, and when she got her in-
 ventior to working, she made him with
 an appetite to eat to sustain life. She
 also made him withNa brain to think
 and to do little planning with, and if the 'genus homo gets the thought working in his head that he or she re-
 quires this thing or that thing more
 than a simple living, he, by his culti-
 vating that thought that he wants this. or that, then he or she makes of them
 selves just that much more of slave
 to his cultivated appetite, whatever it may be.
 If one cultivates an appetite for get | ting drunk and doing other things
 along that line, you can bet your bot
 tom dollar that he or she is putting the
 shackles of the slave all over them If
 one eultivates an appetite to wear the
 best raiment and of the latest fashion
 able cut, that desire helps the old shaver
 to crack his whip little louder over
 the brain which has acquired that ap- petite.
 If miladi has a yearning desire to
 adorn her person with sheath gowns and other accoutrements to match.
 there s just shade of sufficient evi.
 dence to show that the slave shackles
 are going to get into usage upon some
 ones shoulders, at some time not in
 the very remote distance, for there has
 to be the where's and wherefores pro.
 duced to pay the toll--it may be from
 her husband, or from some other
 woman's husband, or for someone who
 ought to be her husband.
 When man gets to cultivating any
 thing out of simple appetite on any
 line; look out for breakers ahead, either on the line of depleted pocket book, or run down mentality. But if any one wants to take the gift of Nature and broaden his conception by doing httle thinking on humane and natural plane, 1t means an evolution of ideas which will trend to break q few shack. les of slavery away from his or her being, So to speak. For it is undisputed fact that Nature, by her evolution has brought mankind up from very re. mote distance of barbarism to travel along the musty old corridors of Time. 1 until We have reached the present per. iod. It is q historical fact that in so doing mankind has risen and fallen Tn the scale of intellectuality many times. It is also well know fact that 1 at different times when he has reached the highest degree of intellect, he was able to throw off good many of life 8 1 burdens, and appease the natural hun | ger which nature gave. If man ac- quires any unnatural appetites in his travel up or down the intellectual ] scale, he makes of himself just that | much more of n slave. If man takes | what Nature gave him, (his brain), and ! does little cpltivating of the afore- mentioned article, together with high. CT order of humanity, he will become more in harmony with nature, in other words, if he works on a social plane with nature, he will eliminate the beast or the animalsm from his mental or appetite, and commence break ing few chains which link him to be consort with the brand of "CainD or natures slave. Man has the power1 to make his thought his willing slave to do his bidding, and again; man can take his thought and by thinking about prize fights, dog fights, or this or that time he had on that big debauch and drunk and by continually thinking along this line, he will saturate his being with such thoughts, and the re- suits arc that he or his offsprings will not be happy unless he or she is feed ing in that kind of a thought field, and If the thought field is all grown up with ! cultivated lust or appetite for such; 1t creates the desire or ambition just m that line, and then in that case, is slave to that kind of an appetite, brought on by desire planted by just the kind of fruit wanted to feed that nature, and nature by being in either high or lew tate, must bear the fruit sown.
 A field well cultivated can De made to ,ring 2 bountiful yield from the soil # nature to sustain life in luxury for nan and his offspring and some besides Man field of thought can be culti 7ated by beautiful thought and study, lntil his intellect will be beacon ight to guide him and others out from bo bondage of slavery, and on and on nto the broad and fertile field of free lom, to march as an armed man across will all opposition which from time to imc will confront him, for nature is Ilways acting as crucible to select he dross of humanity, and hurl it back owards savagery, to let the actions of Iature select the weak from the strong md make 'survival of the ittcst'; md yet if any one makes a brilliant uecess at some time in life and then
