 AT 1T AGAIN
lie Arises at 1 O'clock to Hear Chickens Crow. Says They Crow Every
 M0rDine.

Good morning. dear reader, how are you? Oh. well most of you. suppose. l just feel fine. Have just aWoken from a sweet refresh ing sleep and 1 feel ike 1 am read y Tor anything that the day might impose upon me. 1t is now 4 o'clock. The cocks throughout the town, the county, the com munity and the state, yes, the world, 1 guess, are blowing the bugle call to the sons of men. Tn some near by henery, tree or on some fence, the call is started and taken up by others untiAI suppose the whole world is growing with the roosters. Had you ever notic- ed how punctual they are to do this? How do they wake up? They have more sense about waking Up than a whole lot of men. Men
 generally have alarms to cal them. I guess they have some kind of way by which it is known entirely to themselves. It may be understood between them selves in each henery that one Of them should fall off of the roost that the noise may awake the growing one. They may have
 laws to this effect and the penal ty for it's violation may be quite
 painful.
 Dear reader. have you ever seen c in6II Ict ts;n a nUf hin h
 the blooded chicken? Oh how
 punctual and efficient is he to
 the duties to which nature has called him. He is an early visitor and a go-oftener and to bed early
 Sons of men, you might get some
 valuable lessons from the chick.
 Did you ever hear of a chick col
 ny. proving, going to clubs and
 keeping late hours? Did you ever
 see anything, man, beast, or fowl
 get about with more gentility,
 agility and dignity than blood
 ed chick? No you never have.
 Then they are faithful and
 trustful They do not hoard up
 and store away for rainy day. They with all bird kind, let each day provide for itself. Christ, you bible readers will remember,
 cited their life and faithfulness
 to men as examples.
 An industrious man ought to be- healthy, wealthy and wise who goes to bed early and early to
 rise" It is said that the early
 worm gets the worm. Well l
 have not got much of a worm yet and this does not Work With all of us. Some will miss the worm and
 in some cases it seems that there
 is nc worm to get. or course l am speaking figuratively. There
 is a worm for every one. Let
 him have the get up and go and the worm will come. l remarked to Tommie the other day that we had held our own better than some. Some have lost all they started with. We started with nothing and had it to get. Well, is a little hard to get away with nothing. O, I do miss my library so muchl Not even a dic-
 !tionary. l might use a histor- ical, scientific geographical, or Illustration or ref erence occasionally but 1 can't do it. I know lam a bad speller and scribe I'd get me a type writer if had the money but it wouldn't spell. This reminds me of the two hungry bumms. One said to the other."If we had some ham we could have some ham and eggs, if we had the eggs.V I do miss my topica l5ible so much. It was conveniently arranged. Ev- on the same topic or thereto was just under the same head. For instance take the word grave. Everything that is said about the word grave was put together or under this head. It was very convenient and the print was so large, so well to my eyes. l do miss it so much. This was my bible. My wife has a different bible. It is a BapClSt DlUle. IHe pTlHt III IieI her bible is too fine for my eyes and I am not quite so much in love with the Baptist bible as l was be- fore they fired me out.
 I guess they found authority for doing this in their bible. The say, it is not the way in their bible. Nor do the other Bibles read that way. We'll. guess they were right. It is the way they thau undersfa a nd their hihlp to
