A’ noted” author gives this true anal- ysis of character. He says, “few realize how strong an alloy ,.of low cunning exists in a fool and how almOst invari- ably a perverted intellect and a malevo- lent disposition are inbred in the same individual and this perversion of mind issure to develop a mischievous dispo- sitiou. Watching the game of life he acquires a low and underhand cunning which being mistaken by himself for ability, he omits no occasion to dis- play it, and thus he wages a petty warfare of malice against the world, with all the spiteful ingenuity and malevolence of an outraged monkey.” We all know him or her, I had alo most said “it,” for the tendency to argue is not confined entirely to hu- manism, but may be recognized occasion- ally_--,in_:,ycur dearest friend’s pet 1391“; Tier: , . “Sacha splendid‘house dog. .You don’tmean to say he has justhitten your ‘ lannsn sorry, but it is all play,'you know" .Xour‘ great aunt’s parrot mbablyihaseimilar propensities, and wiltineiyiave; your, forefinger, .. or your cheek, i‘f’ pOSsible, of some of its natural mtundity with the utmost afiability. ' Even a ’bus horse has been, known to argue with- its fore feet in air 2 against the existingmonditions of, things .as. appliedto equine drudges.- ‘ ' Among: ourselves we are acquainted with the man who argues for argu- meno’s sake. He has "views” on everything under the sun, and his generosity prompts him' to share them with everyohe'he'meets. You cannot escape him. The utter- ance of the merest commonplace will bring his eye-upon you, and he will say. tenderly. but firmly: “Do you- know I cannot agree with you,” and then you find yourself listening to a long explanation of his inability to ac- cept your theory. ' His conversation will be interlarded ‘w~ith.many of. his own pet notions, and hereand there a few statistics Will be thrown in by way of light refreshment. This type of man keeps his friends in a continual state of being “sorry they spoke,” and, no doubt, still more sorry that somebody else spoke. If you require to match some pink roses exactly, be will assure you that yellow ones are far prettier, more worn, in fact, exactly what you re- quire. Of course, you personally are aware that they are nothing of the - kind but that does not matter. Being a woman and, therefore, weak ' you probably succumb to arguments in xeariness of spirit. So, too, if you ask iota special make of glove; that shop- manfs look of pity will be absolutely pathetic as he explains to you that the gloves in question never have been and. never could be worn by any person of taste, and, consequently, he does not stock'them. These are a few of, his‘ more prominent peculiarities, will suffice as a general illustration. Strangest of all, you will usually find thatmhe argumentative vendor of the - inimitable hair producer is himself as hainlessas the proverbial egg. Under the circumstances your best defense will be to offer the man a testi menial of your own, when he will be almost certain to refuse to .trouble you to such an extent.

The friend took the first train, but a. wash- out on the road stopped him. Going to a telegraph office he sent this mes- sage: “Washout on the line; can’t come." To which, in due time, he re- ceived the following reply fmm’ the Maine statesman: “Buy a. new shirt and come anyway." ”w Thlo is a Good One. That truth' is stranger than fiction ls illustrated lay the following true story, relates the Lapeer Press. About forty years ago a boy was kicked by a horse. The physician attending the case found his skull was broken and a good share of his brains had leaked out. Thinking to do the best he could and knowing it‘would not do to leave the place vacant, the doctor took some buckwheat flour, and making a thick batter, treohlned the skull and filled the cavity. That boy lived and grew to be a. man, weighs 250 pounds, and is as smart as most men. Living not far from Oakwood, he does business In Lapeer quite often and is all right, only once in a while that buckwheat batter will rise and than he is dart for a time. . ._, 11- n T0 RENT.
