Wife sed Pa wen we started out
you may not know it, but bullhed is
better eating than any other fresh
water fish. a bulIhed isent the prit-
test thing in the world to look at, Pa
sed. beeing moar or less Shiny, like
2 eel, & with a big he'd & two sharp
thorns one on each side OF its neck.
Its eyes are vary small & fathomless,
Pa sed, like the eyes of fat German
after & picnic, & It has long whiskers
that look like strips OF spagetty. but
wen you have caught yure bullhed
& skinned him, & fried him oaver a
nice wood fire, thare isent anything
nicer to eet in the wide wurld. Wait
rill we git a boat load OF the grand
fsh, Pa sed. & will treat you &,

I used TO eet bullheds wen I was a
littel gurl, sed Ma. Ny father used
10 catch them in the mill ponds out
In Wisconsin. d IL I remember rite
thay was awful hard to skin & thay
certingly was good eating. He used
10 catch them with angelworms. Ma

Pa. Harry Misner toald me he always

tell you my father always used
wurns?
The bullheds thought yure father
was older brother. sed Pa. always

 GREETING

It Is appropriate at this time to repOrduse an editoral Xmas greet ing, which appeared in the issue of the Weekly Observer, newspaper publishel at Pocahontas, Arkansas, ia Is15 ard 1874, and which was edited by Judge Charles Coffin, now candidate for United States sena- tor. The editoral follows:
 Christmas comes but once a year" but then 1t never fails to come. and the fortune wheel of time m iM re- gular revolution has brought 1t once again Although 50 old, 1t is one of tho things that Is ever new, and comes a8 fresh now on it's Eighteen Hundred and Seventy-third Anniver- sary as wien its star first shone over the plains of Bethlehem. All human lives have some anticipations, Lnd Christmas Is one common to all. Childhood looks forward to 1t with brightest hope, and counts 1t tho "gala day" of It's its existence, and measuring it's approach by the many footsteps which 1t takes. thinks it ever tardy in arrival. While hurry iny youth in the zeal Of enthusiasm bursting Into bloom, begins to realize in the prosecution of its plans that time indeed waits for no man, but presses all unrentlessly to the goal of destiny. Mature manhood stands for a moment, as the sun in the zenit;i scarce realizing that days end seasons are moro than single point in time. Then, surely. but steadily. begins the gradual descent. Age meets 1t on the steepest part Of the declivity. and seeing naught in life but the widespread past hedges and scotches on tho narrow precipice, on whose bring 1t totters. Then, as the sun suddenly drops be- meath the horison, life goes out or inshrouded in dark cloud, the fitting pail of a wasted existence Had man the shaping of his own destiny, he would doubtless wish te change the order of his life. But which season would he prepetrate, Childhood nor youth will hardly suf- flee to satisfy his disposition or de sires, manhood itself brings not the period of perfect contentment, and age only suffices to extinguish that which it is too late to repair or im- prove.
 Treading fast upon the heels of Christmas. which Is at once the wake night of the old year. and the carnival which ushers in the new Time, the swift driving charioteer of human destiny, seizes ths whip and rein for new career around the race-track of life. Waiting for nc seconing signal, at the first stroke of the bo'i which tolls the knell oi the dead year, he takes up the race which must inevitably end in the same destiny. Thus, shuttle-like Time but repeats itself, and the life 0f man ia the thread that is woven into the warp of ages. checkering its nlloted space with its own shade which bright or somber, accordingly
 Before w8 meet again the old year will be ns a tale that is told, ant the nAw with all it's responsibilities will be upon us. For our readers wherever their lots may be cast VI vtish III the Joy and pleasure o1 5 flSe. season. and the brightest prom s3ees for t'le future.
