The laste thing he alwus duz Saturday night iz tew grease hiz boots, and the fust thing Sunday morning iz tew wind up the old wodden klok in the kitchen.
He iz generally respekted during life, and after he iz ded and gone hiz children keep his fame fresh by pointing out with pride the korner whare his kane alwus stood and peg whare his hat alwus hung.
INDIVIDUAL FOLKS.
THE OBTUSE MAN.
The obtuse man iz sawed off square at both ends, and iron bound like a beetle.
He finds out the hard spot in things by running aginst 346 them, and like the merino ram, shuts up both eyes when he butts.
It iz az hard tew git an idee into him az it iz tew git a wedge into a pepperidge log.
He alwus sez “Yes” to what he don’t understand, and iz az hard tew argy out ov a conceit az a dog iz out ov a bone.
He often sets himself up for a wise man, and sumtimes a wit, but i never knu one tew think he waz a bore.
He goes thru life hed fust, and when he cums tew die he iz az well seasoned az a foot-ball.
