THE ONE IDEA MAN.
THE YANKEE, THAT IS ALWAYS REDDY TO ARGUE THE QUESTION.
The one idea man iz like the merino ram, he shuts up both eyes and goze for things inkontinently. He misses, ov course, oftener than he hits, but don’t kno the difference, and is always reddy to argue the question. Yu kant konvince him that he iz wrong enny more than you kan a hornet.
One idea men are their own wust enemys, and there iz but one kure for them, and that iz tew agree with them. If yu think just az they do, they will soon want tew think sum other way, and that lets two ideas git into their hed, which makes them perhaps endurable.
THE HAPPY MAN.
The happy man iz a poor judge of hiz own bliss, for he kant set down and deskribe it.
Happiness iz like helth—thoze who hav the most ov it seem tew kno it the least.
Yu kant go out in the spring ov the year and gather happiness along the side ov the road just the same az you would 328 dandylions—noboddy but a natral born phool kan do this they are alwus happy, ov course.
When i hear a man bragging how happy he iz, he dont cheat me, he only cheats himself.
