had since been asked: PA. what are
moral principles?" While some of the
resulting essays indicated a haziness

I'VE Live in an Age of

"O THE editor-they was a man
out to the house the other
day that is different than
= most people on acct. Of have
ing something to say besides how to
make gin and how hot it gets in
summer and etc. and this man was
in a jokeing mood and begin talking
about death and he says he was not
scared Of dying itself but he hated
to not be here SO or 100 yrs. from
now and see what the world will
be like then as it made him sore to
think that they would be a whole
lot of improvements and etc. which he
wouldn't be here to enjoy them.
So made the remark that did not
believe things could be improved much
more as they are pretty near perfect
all ready and about all the changes
would be few minor improvements
place in the last 50 yrs. For inst.
when l was a young man it was VS..
the rules for a person to mention the
word underwear in the presence of
the opp. sex and you had to pretend
that what people wore between their
skin and their overcoat was a kind
of mystery.
And in them days also the word
devil was too rough and when you
! referred to the old bird you had to
! call him the dickens or Lucifer. Now
/ days some Of the best people speaks
| of the devil and their underclothing
w nd hny
wrote a couple of pieces with the

seen them come out in the paper
that way instead of hades and darn
The word fool is another that has
came into gen. usages but in my boy
hood days it wasn't never used be-
cause person that said it was sup
pose to be in danger of HI f-e.
So ! says that the next so yrs.
would probably see a few more steps
forward along these lines but outside
of couple minor details the old
world would be going along about
the same as at the present writeing
and l thought man was pretty much
of a crab if he was not perfectly
satisfied with haveing red in the
age in which we are liVeing which
have nicknamed it the wonder age
co he asked me what did l mean by
~ wonder age and where was the
wonders. and l said i was surprised
that bright man like he could not an
swer that question for himself and per-
sonly have kept a kind of a dairy of
some of the wonders that has come off

some rainy Pm. 90 yrs. whence, when
my grandchildren gets tired gnawing
my beard and asks grandpa to tell

them which will make their hair stand

and you are my grandfather and / am
some of your grandchildren and have
asked you to tell me q story"
'.AH right" / says. Il will tell you
a story but it won't be no fairy story
but it will be couple incidence that

The Pufer.

Among all the fishes. the puffer
is said to be the queerest. He has
a short body, without scales, but he
has spines on his back. He has loose
folds of skin on the abdomen and he
can initiate himself with air SO that
in addition to being called the puff
er" he is also called the globe-fish
and the balloon fish. When he in
flates himself he floats on top Of the
sea and winds and currents take him
along. E. W. Gudger of the Museum
of Natural History at New York has
said that the puffer's trick Of infiat-
ing himself is a means of protection
against other fish. He says that an
enemy fish would be greatly aston
ished to have q puffer swell to twice
his natural size in a moment, and,
making itself round. only a very large
fish would have "gape" enough to
take 1t in. and to bite at it would
merely turn it over or around or
push 1t away. Some of the puffers
grow to a length of three feet, but
these are the giants of the tribe.
Some are as small as the little finger
of a man. They live in the tropical
and warm temperate seas. but the
gulf stream often carries them north
to the coasts Of the middle Atlantic
and New England states.

best seats to same and 100000 paid to

knocked the little fellow out in rds.

that was VS.. the law and the judge
said he must go to Jail and serve a

run away out Of the country and went
to France where he stayed till the big
war started and then he moved to

He was the champion prize fighter
Of the world but was -starveing to
death because he couldn't get no job
that they wasn't some work connected
with it. So he was tickled to death
