That is all right and here is my Q
answer. Get some unmarried attor- Il
ney, for you would then be most "
likely to convince him of that wife's t
brutal propensities. A married attor- f
ney might be inclined to give you the '
horse laugh. If it comes down to the b
actual point of being separated from :.
a brutal wife, then get an attorney t
with as much brute force about him /
as possible, and one who has had to q
eat cold meals in winter and play a
whist in summer. /
"If l am satisfied sick person is t
going to die in a few days, should /
tell him?" Depends on who you are.
If 4 person is known to be nearing
death, he ought to know it. Some,
body should be set aside to tell him.
Whoever has the job, however, ought
to be able to deliver his message
sweetly. Any we'll man always knows
that death is camping on his trail, so
it is to be supposed that very sick men
might have an inkling of what was
coming. There is ample time to get
ready to die after one gets sick, but
it is a poor way to do business. Of
course we talk about living all the
while prepared to die any minute, but
most of us would have a little some
thing strange on our hands if we knew
we had to die the day we read this
paragraph. Talk is one thing, and
shuffling off this mortal coil is quite
another thing. If man come down
to the portals of death and is not pre-
pared to go, of course give him a
chance to get ready, for you would
want that much yourself
my nice little thirteen year old
daughter is out every evening until
IL o'clock. She is in good clean COM
pany though. Do you consider this
safe conduct" No. Your little girl
should be sound asleep at $50 every
evening. If angels were in the habit
of coming down to Caldwell every
night and parading around with songs
of the Lamb, | would try and get them
to close down about $50 and let the
children go home and go to bed.
am not very old, but that is wisdom.
you fellows who believe in capital
punishment, don't you know the muir
derer is driven on by fate he can
not resist. He is not to blame for
that which to you seems to be a
crime. Why don't we get to the place
where We pity instead of kill crimi-
nal?" The same fate that makes him
do the killing comes along and tells
our sheriff to hang him. Don't you
60 to blaming the sheriff or anybody
else for hanging him, for fate is after
us all alike. Now that is perfectly
good answer, because old father fate
just made me reply that way. If fate
would get after lot of criminals a
little harder it would have restrain
ing influence, yet fate's wife keeps
holding me down to spirit of regret
and pity for anybody who is of
center
"If find five dollar on the flool
of a store, is it mine, or what shoulo

it, but if it belongs to somebody else
take it and give it to the proprietor

him try to find its owner. Finding ;
thing does not make it the property
of the finder If you find an article
in the road and keep it without under
taking to find its owner, you simpl.
steal it, whether it be big or little
worthless or valuable One does no
relinquish his ownership just becaus
he has lost it.

that sort is on a par with the ma
