that if it became necssary that

FOOLS AND FOOLS
It's rather late in the month
to talk about April Fools and
other fools, but the following
by Chas. W. Bliss of the Hills
boro. 111., News is worth read
ing.
“April, the fourth month in
the year, is derived from the
Latin word aperire, which
means to open this month. The
first day of April is All Fools’
Day and should be dedicated to
mankinde generally, for there
are no bigger fools on God’s
footstool than the human race.
For men will work and strive
and save for sixty years or
more, they’ll cheat their neigh
bors and their friends and
wrong and rob the poor, they’ll
struggle hard to circumvent
each other's well-laid scheme
and fight like greedy, hungry,
j hogs to gobble all the cream;
they’ll treasure here on earth
by means both foul and fair,
and let their sleepless averice
fill all their days with care. And
when they’ve struggled three
score years and piled up high
their wealth, they find they’ve
had to sacrifice their happiness
and health, and though they
may be rated in the plutocratic
class, yet Old Man Death will
come along and mow them
down like grass! And not un
4ill they come to die do these
misguided men appreciate and
realize what blooming fools
they’ve been!
But there’s another claass of
of men and they are wores
fools yet, who never let the
cares of life annoy them or fret
They spend their days in indo
lence and ease and go through
life as aimless as the fickle
summer breeze. They do not
work with hands or brain and
think not of the morrow until
old age and penury bring pen
itence and sorrow. And when
in senile hopelessness their
fruitless lives have sunk, the
heartless world kicks them a
side as so much usless junk.
The man who strives for power
and wealth and looses rest and
•sleep, may be a fool, but still he
‘ows that other men may reap.
And of the two I’ll choose the
man who works hard all his
'ife instead of him who weak
ly shrinks from toil and care
and strife. The fool who works,
the world will miss when Death
calls and he goes, but none will
mourn the drone when he turns
up his toes.
The world is full of other
fools of more or less renown,
I he married fool, the single
fool, the wise fool, and the
clown, the pious fool, the wick
ed fool, the fool who knows it
all, the simple fool, the crazy
fool who’s nutty on base ball;
the golfing fool, the tennis fool,
and the fool who rocks the
boat, but the fool who thinks
he’s not a fool is the fool who
gets my goat!”
