He Had Hia suspielons

lie was pious old tarmer, who was
SO sanctimonious that he fairly radi
atcd piety everywhere he went. His
most pronounced popularity was the
habit OF speaking slowly and pain
fully precise He never used slang
phrase, and he chose the most genteel
words in the dictionary TO express
himself even when hc was angry or
surprised
His marked peculiarity made him
the curiosity OF the countryside. One
day he sold his farm and announced
That he would move to town. On the
place was a carload of fat cattle. He
had never been outside of his home
county, and when he found that he
could take a free trip to Chicago if
he decided to ship his cattle himself
instead of selling them to livestock
buyer, he decided that he'd go to
Chicago with the steers.
Several weIeks after his trip to
Chicago and after he had taken up
his abode in the city, he began 10 in
fest the village drug store. One night,
when the crowd gathered around the
prescription case, to talk politics, the
pious old farmer took the floor and
began to tell us about his trip to Chi
cago. and this is the way he wound
up, with sanctimonious and slow,
drawly voice:
"Thcre are great many strange
people in this world, are there not?
During my stay in Chicago l saw so
many, many men who were queer and
peculiar. l declare, | never saw such
a queer lot of men as are to be seen
there at the stockyards. But, pshaw,
the world seems to be full OF queer
people. does it not? Sometimes" he
said after a long spell of hesitation
u think perhaps / am just little
queer myself"
