"Uncle Tom says Butterfly =
last letter was too contemplate for in
telligent people to notice. | don't
see why he didn't pass it by. | did
not try to insult anyone. l said |
was sorry for the people of Tracy City
and said if those parents of the four
children were sick and were not able
to keep Old Pete away there was a
place of refuge in the county home
did not say it in these words, but that
is what / meant If Grundy has not
got refuge for the poor and destitute,
l would not stay in that county, and
see my children go without something
to eat and wear. There are other
places where people live and it is not
Tracy City, either. I feel just as sor-
ry for the poor aud needy as my Sun
Gle Tom does, and guess | would
give more to help such than he does,
He may call me hypocrit. Pharasee-
ical scoffer If he wants to. and il the
four children we're as near me as they
are ssUncle Tom" would give them
a little more than the crumbs that fall
from my table, / don't suppose ha
has given that much. Did Uncle
Tom" ever think that there are people
in this world that won't work. There
are If he thinks they air work they
are badly mistaken, for there is class
that won't work, and they have to
live, and that class Is always crying
Hard times. God says the way Of
the transgressor is haid. God made
Adam and placed him in land Of
plenty, and what did he dor He
would not stay. For disobedience he
was turned out and then what did
God tell him! "By the sweat of thy
face thou shalt eat bread" He did
not tell him he should have anything |
more, did hef So if we are of Adam g |
race, we surely can keep bread for orr
children. II you had a hen that would |
not scratch for four little chicks, !
think you would put her out of bust
ness and say she is no good. So. If a
man bias the will and push, he will
feed and clothe his children or be is
at much of man. If he is able to
work there is work for men If they
want it, although it may not be at
Tracy City. There is plenty of work
1t the lock and dam, but you bet it is
work. 1t is not play.
"Uncle Tom seems to think that
5he whole world is rich except Tracy
City. / want to ask him what made
Tracy City people poorer than those of
,ther places lived at Tracy years
lgo and got my living there just like
get it here, by hard work, and when
saw that ! could do better away
rom Tracy City did not wait until
rot too weak, to go. but went on
'arm, and have had hog and bread ,
,ver since. Those poor people there
'ught not to stay there if they can't j
make living. Go where they can do
letter. don't mean that they won't /
york il they can get it, but If they
ang on to a place, knowing at the /,
anne time that they won't get any
york, think they are lazy or crazy, J
nd you do. too. 1t was not your put 3
d. was not talking to you about
hose children, but you butted in so I
le shoe must have fit you very we'll, q
Though believe it is little tight ,
,r YOU, but just wear it and it will /
