the jar cools, which resists an enor-
nous strain.

or taking any mean advantage of a

thing or said thing / couldn't faith

ed he'll never play the sneak on you
and of all people deliver me from a
low undermining sneak. and the world
is fuller of those kind of people than
almost any other kind of wrong doors.
Their cowardly attacks on character is
of every day occurrence, so much SO
that none escapes them. To all APP
pearences there are people so void of
character of the right kind they would
have you believe that there wasn't

but never can bring myself up to the
point of compromise along the lines /

all it is my pride, my selfrespect, and
don't know how much temptation l
really could stand along the line of
honor, most especially my women
folks. l don't think l would stand
very much. Yet it seems there are
men who really don't care what peo-
Pile say about their girls. Now, this
is a fact. have very little use for a
man who don't uphold family honor,
and still less for the sneak who i'm
peaches the virtue of women and that
accounts for some of my keen cutting
criticisms everv now and then, and l
am so constituted that ! don't think
good people ought to be guilty of any
such dirty conduct towards human
being, and when they are guilty they
ought to be skinned alive almost We
know how dirty whelps will try to
pull down the character of every good
boy and girl in the land. II they can
get Mr.. So-and-So's son to associate
with them, they are elected, and if he
goes wrong as they are sure to after
keeping bad company, they'll publish
it from Dan to Beersheba I've always
thought parents couldn't be too careful
about their children, and the time to
be careful is when they are very
young. Every community has its
sneaks, men and women who will try
to influence your children against your
will Why, they'll even tell your
children you are too tight on them.
and that this person or that person is
all right and plum good people and
that Pa and Ma oughtn't to keep you
at home so much.
Now, boys and girls, your "Uncle
Tom wants to tell you that any man
or woman who seeks to get you to go
contrary to your Pa and Ma is a sneak
and YOU would do we'll to watch them,
and the very first chance such people
get they will tell some tale on You. No
father or mother really wants their
children to do wrong, and as such I'd
advise every boy and girl to tell their
parents what such people say to them.
Now, some peoples children get to
sulking and pouting around and their
parents are puzzled to know what is
the matter Well, sneak has been
talking to them, that's all.
Well, I'll close for this time.
