Has Never Smoked, Never Chewed,,
Never Played Cards, Never in
Jail, Never Married.
There came into tins office a few
days ago a most remarkable ne^ro
man. 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

>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
.1 .mi >i|> 111 iiic morning'
nd muse softh over the follow-1,
ig very tender stanza :
Last night 1 held a little hand. so|?
dainty and so neat; \-.3^
Ie thought my heart would hurst 1
with joy so wildly did it heat.it
so other hand could to my heart 1
so great solace bring, 1
dian that hand which was.?four 1
ces and a king."
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
