EPIGRAMS OF COL. CAR1 ER.
Northerners Don’t Know How to Treat a
CanvtMback.
'1 lie following are some of the epi
grammatic remarks of Col. Carter which
arc preserved in the recent version,
says t-he Chicago News:
‘‘.My fire is my friend and sometimes
it seems my only friend, it talks to me
for hours until we lioth get sleepy to
gether and 1 cover it up with its gray
blanket of ashes and then go to ¡Mil my
self."
‘‘Salt yo* food, sub, with humor, sea
son it with wit and sprinkle it all ever
with the charm of good fellowship, but
n»'ver ¡xiison it with the cares of yo*
life. It is an insult to yo* dig st ion,
I m s des bein’, sur, a mark of bad breed-
in*.”
“When you are gettin* old and have
no wife to love you and no children to
make yo' heart glad, a wood fire, full of
honest old logs, every one of which is
(loin its lx >t to please yo’, is a great
coin fort,"
-ill yo’ glosses, gentlemen,
i
and

nt hern lady."
