They hit me all right, but bird shot do not penetrate ironclad hides. , Some of the shots fired were to the. effect that a person's life should be an open book; that a person should do frothing privately ;hat he^would be ashamed to do publicly. That smacks of snow white religion,- but it isn't. It's foolishness wrapped in religious tinfoiL I suppose these purists mean .hat a person's life should be like ? book that is left open to public scrutiny; upon n0 page of which anyone could fine one blot, one er roV ofone mistake.
