HE IS AN ASS.
If humanity continues as gullible as it has shown itself in the last few years, wo shall advocate a new kind of school primer in order that people may learn in their childhood what you can’t beat into some of them with a triphammer, even when they are old enough to go to Congress. One lesson we should advocate having fixed up in something after this style—- ‘ What is three card monte ?” ‘ It is a bad, bad game.” •’ Who plays three cirdmonte?”
“ One man who looks like a farmer. One man who looks like a new school philosopher.” “ Can two play this game ?” ‘ Yes, my child, ilivon four can play at this game. “ What does the fourth man do ?” “He gets left, my child. He gets badly left. Ho loses all his money. He pulls bis hair and uses wicked words.” “ Then the fourth man is an ass for playing.” “ He is an ass.” —“ Wheeling Leader,”
