Stmu'timcs one finds jjnml i'Ikht in

s!;nit iioin which in realize the vir

exchange of wisdomami blows.
Generally, however, the ipiarrel is
i'uitmU'd on a plant too low for the
iim' of touch wisdom. The applica
tion of a little wisdom miylil have pre
vvetiled it.
The cn.-e in point occurred in n
discu.-ioii of common interests. The
farmer said: "Why don't you miners
build a railroad to the mines and ect
your precious stuff out to market?.
That's the. way to develop you'
mines.
The miner said: ''Why didn't you
farmers j:ct a railroad inlo tlii. val

The fanner said : "Ve weren't mis'

The miner aid : "You weren't rais
