He is rounding the curve of his fiftieth year in this life's pilLjriina^e, with a very unusual record strung out behind him. llisl name is Mick CiatTnev and he hails from Mt. Tabor, living on tl.-v farm of Mr. Win. Rentier. Xow Mick is not a proud man.i but some "whi' foks" put him up! lo the trick: he says they told him I n> nunc aim nave nnuseit "wrou up." and they also told him t^at The Times was the place to .go; >f course they are rij^ht about this.'1 ind ris^lit about having Mick 'wrote up." for he is indeed a renarkahle personage. Hut the trouble is that the writer of this irticle is so ashamed of his record vlien compared with Mick's, that le feels unable to do the write-upj itunt. True lie was never in jail, | mil is not married?yet. and.?well; hat's all. for lie has done the rest., I hit about Mick. The old fellow j s strong, hearty and hale : is a tine ield hand, alwavs jmnnpt a;;?l aithful. He say sHi e owes his gto^ b lealtli to his good habits, which is!' ust about the truest thing lie.ever ' poke. The magistrate has nc'VyrV lad the pleasure of his appcaran^jfl md lie lias never had the lMensnrer - V" " 1 >i disappearing behind prison vails. And skidd*>o for tobacco! dick can't stand the funics of die mrning weed, nor the curls of neb'I ilous atmosphere circling above', lie I reneh briar. Right there ve I vriter thinks he lttis missed halfi lis life. I hit it (Vsturbs l/nclej rkick about the head and. other laces, so we don't blaiu^vhim. As | or cards, the very sight of them al-1 ays <li<l displease him; never ha^l. ouched em, never held a good'1" iand. C'onsequentlv the old man i ,.v.?r -t;-l :? o.

I'ncle Mick is not married. 1 sow, upon this subject we cannot 1 iscourse at any length, hut it is 1 ur humble opinion that the old tan was pretty wise. He said 'he, one a lot of powerful courtin' hen he was a-gmwin' up. hut lulls alius scared o* dent gals." W ise tick! lie might have got hit. As is. his clothes were in tine Condi-, j ion. no buttons otT. and his gen-jj ral appearance was indicative of j cace and comfort: his hair was ; ot gray, either. Uesides. he is in ood condition financially. Maybe lie old man was right. ,, Mick is a good, honest straight-|j tward farmer, at peace with his1 < wu mind and with the world, lie' wes nothing and neither is he t r : i ii.mi iii neing accused <>l rascal \. for he lias done none, lint we i annot lu-lp but think that lie has lisseil lots of fun hy not associatig with tohaeeo. True. Hill Nye links that tobacco helped carry ' If .Vi v husalah in the prime of his ' fe. hut notwithstanding this, we!' i) love a good cigar.
