At my tender age l am bound to get
on to things far in advance OF my
expectations. My newspaper life is
another auxiliary to my other adj
juncts and capilaries. | am like some
men, | am thrown far and wide into
unsuspecting temptations. That is |
must go places what are not where |
ort to be except have business there
to. So On this basis, at my tender
age, l am likely to write matters far
up high like tree above my level of
walk in life. am skirmishing around
right now to make sort OF crack at
thing and | do not seem to know just
how to speak it forth without en-
bellinshing it here and there. What
am trying to say is what is home
without children? I'd rather see chill
dren without a home, than legitimate
home without children. Of course it
may not make no difference to your
readers, but to get my full column to-
day | had to spree my emulsion in
dignantly to get this piece off at all.
| | am in favor of sales day. | seen
things there funny to speak of. When
you get two women bidding for each
other and get them a little proudly
mad with anger streaked through it,
they will run it up to almost any fab
ularity. | seen them bidding on a
three dollar piece of store furniture
and they had it away up out of sight
quickern you could finch, and they
just kept rollicking it at each other
until the bossest one of them just
dominoed such determinated bid
that the othern squatted down on her
Forthcoming said bid. The unlucky
one was sure the winner in that in
stance, for the buyer had paid more
than the thing could be worth in a
furniture store The undertaken kept
sevenforty sevenforty let me hear the
fifty He was getting ashamed to take
more money for the thing, but when
an undertaken gets you started in to
bid and he gets to going at a two
forty gate, he don't know when to stop
too. Anyhow | am in favor of the
sales day even if women does get
scrupularity mixed in with judgment
and property valuations.
| seen a dog drinking at the foun-
tain on the corner by the Commercial
bank today and don't think them city
fountains are sanguinary in the least
How can place be sanguinary for {
human person to drink at when dog:
| do their drinking there also. 1t coulc

that she was looking at the things il

A big fat woman took a squint at he
self, though she only made a swi
pass at it. but seen her eyes ia
upon her huge form. That merchai
has a good idea for business, but
don't need to think that folks sees Il
stuff he has in the wnders, for tn,
only see themselves, Now at IL
tender age | think the looking gia
ort to be across the street from whe
the people are expected to do the
trading, and then they could wa
casumly along across and take go'
peep at themselves.
At my tender age | am willing
