WOLF RUN.

WOLF NUN, Lee. S.-SOme men
and sometimes the "dear women" are
constantly beset with the overwhelm-
ing desire to swear. Swearing seems
to be sort of safety valve from
which the steam of overweight in
dignation pops off and prevents the
boiler from bursting. "Cuss words"
seem to be dire necessity with some
people. Now the thing is, if people
are going to swear, if swearing is a
social necessity, let's improve the
quality of our "cuss-words" and create
high art of swearing. There have
really been preachers, good philo-
sophie men, who sat up nights trying
to pick a flaw with the original ST.
James version of the Bible where it
says fellow must not swear. They
think it is civil necessity. st. Peter
swore right in the presence of his
Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. And
he not only swore but he told one of
the most stupendous whoppers ever
recorded in history. If people can't
get along without ripping up the Sc
renity with monosyllables and excla-
nation marks, why not take out IL
cense, and wear the official button

- Balaam, who hired out to
tSssS the Israelites was "Past Grand
Master at Swearology." Had reputa-
ton of ripping out zigzag that had
sent his name all over the country but
the Bible tells US when he rode up to
where he finally induced that refrac-
tory donkey of his to convey him, he
poured out a volley of refreshing
tribute to the very fellows he was en-
ployed by the ancient Filipinos to lam
bast. Why not use the word "un-
loveable" to cuss folks with. Always
swear in the negative. Heretofore
when we say the other fellow is the
most "blankety" this and the most
''blankety" that we have been uncon-
sciously paying tribute to the very
fellow we have been trying to cuss
Use some style in cussing if you're
bound to cuss. Take out license, get
the official button, and then when you
want to make the air blue with ora
birthstone, and infamatory sass, you
know that you're not trespassing or
the other fellows rights.
