THE POLITICAL ISSUES OF THE DAY-! A SPLENDID MEETING IN GREENVILLE. Hemphill, Latimer, Henderson and Johnstone Make Strong Arguments Against the New doctrines of the Commercial Democracy. (Ireenville Mountaineer, Auk- 81. The- Democratic iiiabb meeting in Greenville on the 2Uth inst. was con ducted in tlie most ordorly manner, and the audionco showed a thorough appro ciation of the calm, doliborato argamouts of the geutlomeu who were appealing to thoir reason and common sense, not un dertaking to inilame thoir passions or excite thoir prejudices. Tho court house was well lillcd whcu the speakers entered at 11 o'clock, and immediately afterwards every seat was occupied and many wore standing in tho aisles. The meeting was called to order by Hon. J, Thos. Austin, county chair man, who requested Dr. T. M. MoOonnell, pastor of the First l'resbyterian church, to make the opening prayer, in which tho favor of God was asked upon this country and its pcopl", and that all should be guided to the selection of God-fearing and God-honoring men to administer the alTairB of this government. Chairman Austin said it was a matter of regret that the inclemont weather had kept so many from attending today, but ho was glad to greet the largo audience hero assembled, who arc ready to hear argument upon tho issues before them The gentlemen who have come in an swer to our invitation will arguo tho great questions with benotit to tho public, and they are commended to a careful hearing of theso arguments. Hon. John J. Iletnphill was then in troduced as the In Hi speaker, who said ho was glad to moot the citi/.cns of Greenville. Tho Piedmont section was prosperous and had made great progress , in 25 years, and some argued that this prosperity would make it necessary to | change our political principles because wo had more dollars than formerly. True, but why should we have less De mocracy on account of having more dollars ? Is it necessary to join tho Republicans iu order to keep our dollars? Do wo need expansion ? iBthis country not largo enough ? Tho Philippine is lands aro 10,000 miles away from the capital of the United States. They have already cost us 250 to IKH) millious, and wo are Bpending $75,000,000 in thcBo islaudB overy year. Wo aro spending $1,000 overy day lor cablogramu to com muuicato with tho army wo aro support ing there. Tho raco problem iB insignificant hero i compared with tho undertaking to gov- I orn 10,000,000 people who aro ton thou- ! Band miles away from ub. Four genera- i tions of Americans have been paying pensions for the Revolutionary war and four more generations will be paying the pensions for tho Filipino war. One of our Senators said that he changed his opinion in regard to the Paris treaty bo cause tho Filipinos tired upon tho llag of our country Our army was there to conquer them, and it is pusillamous, contemptible and cowardly to claim that they had no right to resist the invasion of their native country. It was right and proper for them to resist under tho circumstances. Our friends say that expansion is a business proposition. The mills of tho Piedmont are managed satisfactorily and their presidents deserve credit for tho development of this industry. 80 long aB they use their own inouoy and man age their own affairs it is well, but when it comes to using tho power of the gov ernment in thoir bohalf tho proposition is very dillerent. It becomes a question of great political importance whether armies aro to bo sent across the seas to stimulate and protect those private inter ests. The one hundredth part of a mill is our sharo of the profits in this treaty action. Thcro arc varieties in expansion. England, Holland and Belgium have dcuBO populations and tucy must expand their territory. Tho pressure of subsls tence naturally urges them to go out. Europe has a population far in excess of tho accommodations in its area, but wo are not in that fix. All tho area produc ing cotton in tho Bouth at this timo would not cover one-sixth of tho terr tory in Texas, and thorc is an almost un limited opportunity for expansion of this kind on our continont within iho United States. A farmor with ten boys may not have land upon which to settle them all, but thcro aro scores of others around who have surplus landB to rent or soli. This country can furnish homes for 400,000.000 people, fivo times Ub present population, and not bo at all crowded. Mr. Ucmphill related an anecdote of a church momber who was arraignod upon various chargeB, including drunkonness, gambling, stealing and lying, to all of which ho plead guilty, but in mitigation of his numerous ollonccshe told the pas tor that through it all he had never lost his religion. Mr. ilcmphill urged upon those who were going astray in politics, notwithstanding thoir laxity and irregu larities not to loso'thoir Democracy. Ho Btartod to discuss ship subsidies, when Capt. J. N. King asked him to toll what wo must do?with the Philippines. In roply, Mr. Ilcmphill said if Dowey had sailed out of Manila harbor after ho destroyed tho Spanish ficot, no one would be saying now that wo ought to go back and take forciblo possession of tho city. Ho wouldfget out of the islands as soon as a government is established that will suit the'.Filipinos. Ho heard of a man saying .that if wo left there Franco would be^willlng to glvo two billions of dollars, for their possession, and yet thcro was* not a day in tho past two hundred years.that any groat nation could not have tobtained their control, becanso Spain was?not in a condition to defend her title to.tho islands. England did take possession of thorn ono hundred and twenty fivo years ago, Mhon it was trying to subjugate tho American colon ios thon struggling for freedom, but England sold out'for 10,000,000, just one fourth of tho amount wo paid for them Mr. Bryan said that in buying tho Philip pines wo had paid twenty millions of dollars for tho option on a tight, and wo got the fight. Mr. McLaurin was in favor' of'holding on to -tho islands, let tho cost be what it will in blood and treasure. In concluding Mr. Heraphill told the etory of a man who was informed by telegraph that his mother-in law was dead, and his friend inquirod of him whether to ombalm, crenaato or bury tho body, and his reply was, " Embalm, cromato and bury." This was what tho speaker wishod the people to do for Commercial Democracy in South Car olina. hon. a8d?ry c. LATIlfBR. Congressman Latimor was introduced amid hurrahs for Latimer as the cldmos were ringing tho hour of noon. Ho was delighted to be in Qrecnviilo. " Ttiio little shoot that's published ovur bero," he launched forth, " has blackguarded mo for many years " He had not had a chance to reply to it boforo, and ho gave some instances whore tho Greenville Newa had done him an injustice, refer ring especially to bis recent speech at Wham's Lawn, whero its correspondent said ho got bo fluetrated when asked a Jiuestion that ho did not know the dir erenco between expansion and ship sub sidy. He then went for McLaurin, who would not come oot to moot his oppo onts, and said the News was constantly misrepresenting him, while they were urging " fair treatment" for MoLaurin. Trace it down and you'd find the Urenn ? yllle post office behind It. He did not want to go to the Senate if he was not qualified. He theo recounted what Me f Lanrin wanted them to do, which is to I Join the Republican party, and he invit-1 ed any one to deny this statemont. Mc-1 Laurin wanted to go into the Republl- , can party. Ho touched upou tho tariff and brought in tho refusal of tho Rcpub llcau majority to give tho Charleston Exposition a cent. Latimer thon discussed "tho Philip pine business." Ho wanted to show what this doctrine Johnnie McLaurin wsb teaching would do for tlio people before him Ho repeated the two meth ods of expansion pointed out before, and gave tho history of enact i-ig treaties When he said McLaurin never had an original idea in his I if o hu wis cheered vociferously. Liu gave u pungoat ac count of McLauriu s political acrobatic performances, and told hc)\v MoLaurin. Strait and hiniHuif had been blacklisted in tho noBt ollicc department at Wash ington because they wero Populists, and ho had caught up with it. Mr Ilcmpliill, Mr. Johnstonc and Senator limit r were the accuBurs, and wheu he asked for an opportunity to face these gem'emcn and the day had been appointed, MoLaurin had llunked aud gone homo, lie Bald " McLnurin had built hiB fort on Paris Mountain, flrod a few shots down tho line, aud when he heard that we were coming be got up and ran away." Llo had sympathy for a man when there was Bickui'SB in his family, but there had been too much reliance upon sickncBs in this case lie believed McLaurin's sick neBB in 18i)7 sent him to tho Seuato Ho roasted MoLaurin for voting to ratify tho Paris treaty, and said he had a pri vate secretary with ten times as much brains hh himself, who was once a shin ing light in tho Republican party. McLaurin had betrayed ev kry thing he had ever had anything to d h. He had started out opposing Ine deform movement. Ho had Undertaken to run the campaign of W. I). Evans and eloct ed himself He had been opposed to the dispensary aftei tho Darlington trouble. McLaurin had como to Congressmen Strait and Talbert aud himself and had tried to get them to sign a proclamation with him to lead the people into the Populist party. Mr. Latimer said he was In favoi of building every cotton mill possible in South Carolina, aud of attracting every dollar of homo and foreign capital oh tainable to build as many as possible and bring good people to work for them He for ono would light for equal rights for all of them, but he wanted them to understand that the way to get results was not the way McLaurin pointed out, but was by iolhlne hands wi'h the Dem ocratic party aud its principles. lie wanted all these presidents in the light with him. He would do as much for the cotton mills aB any of them. All this was simply a continuation of the policy he had always advocated. From the foundation of the government New England had takeu out *2 for every $1 placed in tho national treasury. Mr. Latimer then spanked McLaurin again, the audience hea tily approving, and concluded with tho argument that if we wont ahead aud spent much on the Philippines we would he the loser, for other nations by retaliatory measures could force us to put the ports on an ecpual footing with the United States. HON. UANIFI. S. HRNDRllSON. When Chairman Austin introduced lion Daniel 8 Hcuderuou, Statu Sena tor from Aikon County, ho took tho Ltandamid applause and was evidently among friends and admirers. Ho said that tho people of this county had gotten tho first tasto of tho Senatorial campaign when Mr. McLaurin delivered his open ing speech in May. Mr. McLaurin had started out a short time ago and raised the issueB and now when invited to meet his opponents ho was not here. The faculty would like to meet him in argu ment on hard facts, not generalities. These meetings had shown that tho peo ple were not going to bo led away after false gods, tie told a good sea story illustrating tho usclessnoss of commo tion, fuss aud feathers. Tho people had awakened to tho situation and wore looking into these matters. Nobody wanted to abuse Mr McLaurin but he would tell the truth. Then he look up tho issues McLaurin had presented and said that while presenting them he was shouting: " I am a Democrat " He wanted them to look into the facts about tho preacher of these doctrines. Ho vig orously prosonted McLaurin's change of front on tho treaty aud proceeded to read tho opposition speech of tho junior Senator, which he made only a few days beforo tho treaty was ratified. It was demagogy to mix religion with expan sion. When MoLaurin was a Democrat he had advocated what his opponontB were now advocating. McLauriu had hold up to the country that tho Democratic party is dead ; that it has no loaders, and that they should bo routed out. Then ho asked why ho did not go to tho State convention and toll his party these things ? That would have taken courage and manhood. Ho then referred to the constitutional convention and said Mo Laurin was not willing to take tho politi cal risks following tho solving of the suffrage problem. He dovotcd sonio time to explaining tho fallacies of the arguments for tho now oxpansion. All wo want is tho opon door for our trade and for our missionaries. Mr. Henderson applied a new mule joke to tho Eastern question and tho audionco saw tho point. Ho made an eloquent plea for adherence to tho max ims and principles of our fathers; sell tho islands and give theso people proper treaty rights. Wo are about to turn Cuba over to her own people, and this will be a bright star in our flag. He then doalt with tho doctrine of protection advocated by McLaurin and presentod forcible yot plain illustrations showing tho fallacies. The great trusts were tho children of this policy of protection. Ho touched lightly out forcibly on ship sub sidy. Ho wantod the Dinglcy tariff Erovision ropoalod. This doctrine of IcLaurin was dangerous to the unity of our whito people. McLaurin, William McKinloy and Mark Hanna want ui to divide, and then good-bye?when thoy get a foothold - to tho solid South. Ho could not, would not, believe that tho substantial peoplo of Grconvillo would over go into any such ondcavor. He said Hanna and McKinloy, who v/erc backing up McLaurin in this matter would laugh at us. (Vigorous applauso ) Mr. Hen derson concluded with a story illustrat ing tho wind up of this fight. It was a new, clovor and apt peroration He concluded amid not only cheers, but hand clapping. COIi. OKOHOK .IOIINBTONK. Tho last spoaker was ox-Congressman Gcorgo Johnstono of Nowborry, who said that ho approciatod the invitation to spoak in Greenville, whero lio had bo of ton appoarod in the last thirty years, and to whose people he is indohtod for much kindneBB and courtesy. Wren invited he was pursuing his destiny as a private citizen. Whon tho invitation came ho felt that ho would bo untrue oven to his cenntry if ho did not come. IIo was in vitod horo, he conceived, to discuss an actuality and not a theory. IIo would therefore discuss actualities only. Whon he first heard of tho propositions now submitted he thought them over, and carefully wolghing the facts he had readied a conclusion. These now i I thoughts aro called tho p/inclt- * of Commercial Democracy. Ho wat a "aro that many who proposo them woro hon ! orabln men and honeat. One proposi tion la expansion ; the other Is ship sub sidy, one dependent and following from the othor. True and honest men he had al lowed were proposing them. When a missionary comes' among you, you must find out who he Is and from whence he comes. Ho wonld ask "for whom did you vote In the last election ?" Let the ! ?nswers be " Wm. McKinloy." One man hud said ho hadn't votud for anyone, but had hoped MoKiolev would be elected, i Ho had asked himself whence were Uicbc i doctriuoH derived. They were from Alex- | ander Hamilton the great opponent of | ThoMas JeffvrBOIl Are the Democrats I at this date to be called to adopt these j things V He wanted to tell the audience why neither ho nor the people had been I wrong in the past. Progressive and commercial in what whs tiu? Democracy V Commercial In the Federal ollicea of South Carolina as the small cuaugo in the transaction. 1 have wondered if our people could he thus bought. 1 think not. When Alli auce principles were beiug pushed they thought that they were right. Some of these men now talking had been known to say who had ever heard < f Agricultural j Democracy? Why condemn the Agri cultural Democrat V Less than teu years ago they were trying to push Agricultu j ral Democracy and they now claim the right to urge Commercial Democracy. Did not tlie nonius of Democracy lumn the Mississippi and advance to Califor nia? Ho pictured the grand empire that hud boot! croatod by Democratic expan sion Did the party of Hamilton add a single foot of land'{ Not one. These men are trying to make you combine ex pansion and imperialism, There arc only two 'nodes of govern ment. One iB by the bayouet. Why at tempt to have us confound these two things? If there are any Commercial I Democrats here I will show them the difference In Florida the people were allowed to form a local government for IhcmsclvcH Then other stars were add ed to the American tiag. Buch is expan sion. Now what is the proposition? i did not come here to talk to you with softened words I wiBh to appeal to your Qod-givOU spirit. Bpain governed Cuba for three hundred years, nay, from the discovery of this country; military satraps and despotism ruled supremo The down trodden people appealed to the civilized world. Wu heard the cry and we said to Bpain take your foot olT of a struggling people. Why did we do it? A nation must be true, and we promisor] tho Cubans that wo would give freedom und local government to tho struggling country. And I am not rctuly to see US placo a falsehood before admir- j ing lungs. Whon wo were struggling for the rodompt'on of South Carolina from aliens und oppressors, what was i your rallying cry? Local self govern ment. How uow can you say anything c'seV If Cuba wants to omein let her voluntarily como and ask for annexation. Throw the Monroe doctrine around her. What did wo say to the Filipinos ? With the thunders of Dewoy's artillery we shook from their necks the thraldom, aud then we landed thousands of sol diers to take the place? of the Spaniards. Is that commercialism ? May he it is. Can you ask for yourselves what you are uot willing to do for others ? They say it is for your commercial la tcrcst. The causo wo are fighting for is more than commercialism, We would send our goo la there to clothe tho corpses wo make by our soldiers. Can't we accomplish trade without making their ahroudaV We can accomplish afl much by treaty as tho moat earnest com merciahst could wish. They aay we muat (Jhriatiauize them. Picture Christ in the uniform of a major general of the Amer ican army, taking with him guns and ammunition to propagate the gospel of peace. I say this with all reverence. I Can you do it ? No. They say oik Chi ueso trade demands it If a nation comes to you to lift you up and give you self government, wouldn't gratitude accom pliah more than anything else They say we need a base of aupplies Can't that bo obtained in the same way ? Cer tainly it cau. That is not tho only distinction be tween expansion and imperialism. Here we are, the foremoat republic, on which nil others are pattc-ned. Our constitu tion limits power. Unlimited power in the handa of any man soon becomes des potism In the Philippines to-day there is no human power, no written law that stands between tho President and the Filipinos The President has absolute power over life aud death in the islands There ia not one power on thia continent to day that stands to guard the married relation in the islands. Marriagea ? ov ery thing else there - can only be legal as tho President permits. Are you will ing t<> give any man on earth that pow er V A military order from the President can annul a marriage, take property from one and give to another. Is there more despotic powor in tho hands of the C/.ar of Russia, or any man ? Aud all thia because you stand quiet and don't want to do justice. That's the new evan gel. I stale to you the fact: you arc the only jury. Hut they say that what is necessary to this trado is the shipaubaidy. I will not fio over tho thoughts of other pcoplo They say that it will benefit agriculture in tho South. Kvery dollar I have is in vested in agriculture. They say this will enable you to carry goods and sell them cheaper than other nations. If the gov ernment is to give nine millions a year to carry goods, lot's ask them if they are willing to donate that nino millions to tho wages of factory operatives direct. ir tlio operatives arc to be bunetitod, then lot ?b give the nine millions to them direct. Would they accept that propo sition V Wouldn't they say that is so cialism run rampant? Isn't it a known fact that you can buy a piano, take it to New Yoi.c and slop it to Brazil, an American receiving it, ho shipping it back, and you can get it cheaper than you can buy it here ? Our taritt is ope rating to make a high homo market. IIo thought that equal rights and no special privileges was American Democracy. Mr. John B. Cleveland sayB that we have to ship our goods to Liverpool, and thence it's shipped to Brazil. Why ? Because the British manufacturer has studied tho Brazilian country. He man ufactures the goods into packs that can bo put on the backs of mules and taken Into the jungles. The vessel could bring back colloo. Now, what has broken up tho trade ? The Boer war, the famine in India and tho Chinese cmbroglio have disturbed the markets and destroyed them for tho time being. Mr. Cleveland looks only at a temporary ailment as if it wore a permanent disease. Mr. Cleveland said he wanted tho Chinese and tho Philip pine trade if wo had to light for it. How can you establish trade and commerce by driving tho people into tho jungle ? War is destructive of cominorco. Thoy cannot get commerce through agencies that arc destructive. I Now, a word in conclusion. Whoever I in South Carolina imagines that we have Bcttlcd the race issue is profoundly mis taken. Tho constitution simply dams up the water for twenty years; nothing moro There sits one who along with me and all the members of tho constitu tional convontion helped to devise this plan. Wo tried by every power to solvo this problom. Ho described the troubles of tho convention in dealing with this vital problem Hl-j picturo of the Con federate soldier who was ignorant, yet had to be cared for, was exquisitely drawn. The school houses aro turning out ne groes who aro able to read and wrilo, and there is no means when they como forward by which you can disfranchise them Whon they como and you divido what then ? There is a deeper dauger than domination?that of tho whito man being dobauchod by tho filthy hunt for negro voters, crawling in tho dust to got thorn. As tho years go by tho number will be greater and greator. I do not say this in bitternoss to tho negro. Bat whon you aro askod to divide tho whito pooplo of South Carolina, point to Vir ginia with its Mahono. I ask you to crush out this offort to divido tho whito people with tho gifts of patronage asono moans to tho ona. ?Eminent minietera, in BOBsion at Wl nona, Ind , havo voted that thoro is a holl and will proach tho doctrine in fu ture OA8TOHIA. B<MUith? ^yThe Kind You Haw Alway? Bought Signature If FARMERS LEARNING TO THINK. ' Wo liatl the great pleasure i> lew j weeks ago of listening to a conversa tion between a college professor who im? bad considerable acquaintance' with farmers, and an Institute worker, who i? himself a fanner, and has given some part of hi* lime for several ycara, to platform work at Granges aud Far mers' Insti'ules. The professor was inclined to doubt tho useful, ess of ln itituio .v>rk, and claimed that the furmers, as a ?,''?88, were neither read ing, observing nor thinking men, and could not b i aroused to either observe or think. The farmer-lecturer main tained the afllrtnalive side of the ques tiou, declared that farmers were''learn ing to think," aud observe, 14 and," Haid ho, 14 it is dr?nge and Institute work, backed up by an intelligent agri- \ eiillural press, that has lifted the far ineis out of I be ruts in winch they for merly crawled along, until now they arc, vis a whole, a shrewd, reading, thinking, observing class of men." " The [artner has got to bo an obser ver, reader and thinker if lie would euceeed in these progressive days," he continued, " with railways, telegraphs, telephones, rural mail delivery, im proved farm machinery and tho thou sands of advantigcs that our grand fathers of stage-coach days never dreamed of, the farmer is compelled to bo a reader and thinker, bo simply J can't help himself." I After joining in tho conversation with some comments upon tho steady advanco in agricultural kuowlcdgc. ami the good work the agricultural colleges wore doing, wo asked the farinor-lcc-1 turov if he was a college educated man. I " Oh, no," said lie with a smile aud shake of the head. " 1 had no such good luck." " In fact," he continued, " 1 had less schooling than my boy of lilc.cn has already got." "How did you become so well informed ?" wo asked him. " Hy reading, observing and thinking," he replied, not at all averse to giving the professor n bit of a dig, and in the remaining hour of our rail way journey wo attempted to draw I him out upon the subject of his habits of reading and thinking, and tried to learn bis method. In answer to our questions ho told us lie was brought up on a farm and bad only a few weeks' schooling each winter after bo was twelve years old, was not much ol a reader and nothing of a thiukor until after ho was twentv two yours old. 11 was tailing in love with a school teacher considerably older than himself that first set him to thinking, ami he soon after began to read books and papers that would give him instruction in farm work and ways, and gr.idualy developed a taste for books in general literature, " and," said he, *? ii i? that taste for roadiug that has been ray salvation. 1 don't I protend to be a 1 know-it-all,' there, arc thousands of books 1 wish 1 could get time to read, but a busy man must forego many of tho thiugs ho would like, to enjoy and that is not altogether a disadvantage, bocause, if he is wise ho will pick and choose ; if he has but j little time for reading he will naturally select that which is the very best, that which will help him most." There was much in his confidential talk that wo wish wo could transcribe for our readers, but one point, which ho especially emphasized, is all wo can now give space to. This was tho ne cessity of " learning" to road and think. The great majority of people, and farmers no more than others, rush through their reading as though quan tity was what most desirable, whereas one article in a paper or chapter in a book carefully read and fully under stood, was worth infinitely more than a huudred articles galloped over and hardly an impression of their purpose remaining, 11 Read slowly and surely, would be my advice," be said. "If tho meaning of a paragraph isn't clear at the first reading, don't go on to the next paragraph ; go back and read it over, and read it a third time, if necessary. In other words, clear up each thought as you go along, that is the secret of intelligent reading; and that, I believe, is the secret of learning to think ?to learn to understand the printed thoughts of others is the best way to learn to think." That certainly is suggestive, and we are pleased to bo able to present it to our readers with the hope that it may be helpful and encouraging to them, as it has been helpful and encouraging to him. Tho man whose words we have quoted is unusually well inform ed, a lluent speaker, a helpful and in structive lecturer, and he has reached that enviable position by simply learn ing to read understanding^, by being " slow and sure," by mastering each thought beforo going on to the ucxt one. It seems to us that there is a lot of helpfulness in just that single idea. ?Practical Farmer. A man returned home after a holi day of two weeks. His 8-year-old son loudly welcomed him. " Is everybody well, Jimmy?" tho father asked. "The wollest kind," the boy rep icd. " And nothing has happened?" "Nothing at all. I've been good. Jeannie's all right, and I never saw ma behave as she has this time."?Tit Blts. No one needs to be told to try to cure be told of a means of cure which will be thorough and lasting. Dr. Tierce's Goldeu Medloal Discovery is a medi cine which can be confidently relied on to cure diseases of the organs of respiration. It cures obstinate, deep seated coughs, bronchitis and bleeding of the lungs. It cures when nothing else will cure, and the local physician says: "There is nothing more that we can do." There is no alcohol in M Golden Med ical Discovery,? and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar cotics. Tho dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid by less meritorious medicines, will sometimes try aud sell a substitute when the " Discovery " is asked for. No substitute medicine will satisfy the sick like ?Golden Medical Discovery." It always helps. It almost always cures.

T M if.MiruHoN, TruUI?. Ii hi >t*T: Reflections of a Bachelor.? Some women nro uot so red as thev paint Uiciu8olve8. It's a short lane that has no lovers In It after it turns iuto the shadows. There arc two things a woman can not bo tempted to betray?the man she loves and her ate. I If it weren't for their wives some ineu would have breach of promise suits on their hands ovory week. Some married women never scorn to think that inon wouldn't bo bo anxious to llirt with them if they didn't know there was no danger of their having to marry thein. Women have aa much use for logic ! as they have for muscles on their arms liko a circus performer's. The Lord made liitlc babies weak '. ami helpless so they couldn't bit the women who chatter baby talk to them. A woman isn't half as af i aid of hghl niug as she is afraid of having you think she doesn't need to bo guarded from dangor. When a woman exercises four ounces i of weight off playing tennis, she begins 1 to talk about the time she was so stout i none of her clothes would lit her. 1 If every girl in the world was rich, overy man would liud somebody to fall in lovo with. The reason E?e tempted Adam was bccauBc there wasn't auy other man in the garden. Makiug love is as different from being in love as clam chowder is from choco late caramels. When a woman wanta to cut anoth er woman's hoart up and ehop it into mince meat she says slio has such a low, swoot voice that when she speaks to you you forgot all about her face. Peter S.
