Ru!e Ilt'lton, who lives two juinc
turoa and a blowout on the other
side of Suntee scliool house, asserts
that life Is not at nil what we nuike
it, becr.une If we had any influence
whatsoever on the making of life we
would make it last longer. Kuhe in
i:Us th.:t life In a non-rer.llable
pocket with a hole in it and that
death obv ouuly is an unavoidable
tiaedy like the poll-tax or a Re
publican lundslde, says Frederick J.
Liesman In the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Life is entirely a matter o' what
a man wants," fays Itube, the sage
of Maries county. "They's iat two
things a man ever hollers about
his winnln'g and his login's; and
they's 1st two things a man can lose
soinethinK he's got, something he
wants. By usln' a little boss sense
reKardlq' what he wants a man ran
knock off half of his login's. Tako
care o' your wants and your winnln's
take care o" themselves. Don't ag
grevate yourself Into an appetite for
soniethlu' what'U lay heavy on your
stummlck. Thust, a man's a whole
lot like a hoss rglve him everything
tie wants and he'll founder hlsself."
Justice and Verdicts.
It should be noted that the official
Ozark language recognizes the word
"Just" only as an obsolete root word.
Its modern derivatives, thus, "thust,"
"Jest." "Jist." "thist" and "1st" not
only cover the musical scale but also
cover many shades of meaning. The
word "thust." as used by Mr. Helton,
conveys a sense of the abstract, as,
merely or simply. As a sumping off
place It performs somewhat the same
service as the English world, how
ever. The official Ozark language
produces more derivatives than any
known substance excepting coal tar.
"Lordy, man," says he a bit plain
tively, "1 never loaded nor fired a
gun nor had a law suit in my life. I
never had to shoot a man nor knock
him on the head to git the best of
him. My people came here a hundred
and twenty-five years ago an dthey
haln t one of 'em ever gone to the
peti or 'sane asylum yet. Frank
Farrls says that 'there's a woid"s
record." '
For nil his lark of experience In
law suits old Rube la considered the
champion of Maries county at "cull
ing" a Jury. Culling a jury means
reuiovlnc therefrom any man who Is
not. known to be solidly in favor of
the culler's side of the case.
"Thust. a prrperly cull.-d and
hand-picked jury is one o' the pnat
et blessin's o' human race," ie?-;,--Rube,
'i wouldn't swap thr.: .r. '
of a J111 - f'i the bo';t la -r e;i
eirth. The law's 1st nliout tlio o:ily
thing on earth that can be Bin icheil j
all outa shape without epolin' it. Ef!
peoplt wanted Jestice half as bad as
they want verdicts the little spiders'
cobweb every court-room In Mlz
zoury." When a M;m Jets Too Smart
In the plain workaday affairs of
life Rube assays five per cent initia
tive and ninety-five per cent referen
dum. "Thust, makin' a success o' either
booze or business is a life-time Job,"
says he. "My people come here from
Tennessee. They rode hosses and
packed the beddin' and the fryiu' pan
on luwes. people were happy and
contented then because corn was only
ten cents a bushel.
"A man could f;ot fat on a bushel
0' coin where the ten cents would
a-ive him indigestion. The woods
was full 0' deer and turkeys and no
buddy ever et beef exceptin' shift
less people what didn't do nothin'
but work iheir crops from daylight
till dark. Thust, all you had to do,
to kill a wild hog, was to miss a deer
or a turkey. Nowadays you've got
to raise a hog 1st like you was bring
ing up a child; and the only way you
lean git back the value o' the corn
I you put Into him is to eat the hog.
I It's as hard to keep a good price on
I what you raise as it Is to keep the
1 nionty arter you ,get It. When you
'get up in the mornin you've got the
I whole world to face; and It's got
iyou to face. Whenever you think
! the odds Is agin you 1st remember
that no one man ever run the whole
world by hlsself, but they's been
many a time when the whole world
iwas offerln' dead-or-alive rewards fer
one man. When man gits so smart
that he can out-sharp the whole
neighborhood he either runs fer office
or runs fer life."
Like most Ozard men, Rube has
derided opinions of his own; unlike

most Ozark men, he Is tolerant of
those who differ with him,
FiKtiMtiK What Friends Will Do.
"Thust, they hasint no law to ketp
ary man what don't agree with me
from showln' his dinned Ignorance.
A man what ell speak his opinions
is a good man; but a man whafll bet
his last nag In plowin' time is a
good sport. Ef everybody was right
all the time you couldn't no more
git up a good-hoss-race than you
could put two drinks o' good whiskey
into a pint bottle. Let the other fel
ler have his opinions. That makes
hoss-trades. Thust, when you trade
hosses, you're 1st tradin your opinion
on two hosses fer his opinion on 'em;
and I've made more money thataway
than I've made on anything else."
"Thust," continues Mr. Helton,
"when It conies to fullillin' the Scrip
tures and bearln' each other's bur
dens a good nag'll pack pounds whar
a man won't pack ounces. Ef God
A'mighty could git half the work out
of a man that a man can git out
of a hoss they wouldn't be enough
people in hell to make a petty Jury.
A man can't keep no better company
than a hoss or a dog, but the hoss
and the dog can do a heap better.
"A hoss or a dog'll 1st make a
purty good Rible for any man what's
lookln' fer the rock-bottom truth on
brotherly love and friendship. Five
hundred per cent, o' human friend
ship Is run fer a profit and the other
five hundred per cent's got to be
rtall-fed to keep It from starvln' to
death. Human friendship's got the
eatinest appetite that's known to,
mankind. Thust, when you turn the!
feed-box over, the most o' our
frleiids'll step around you like a ,
range boss around a rattlesnake. 1st !
about the best use a man can make;
of his eyes is to use one to watch j
the weather and t'other to watch his
friends. Any man what ever run a
red fox out of a hen-roost has rot
a purty good idee o' what your ene
mies 11 do; but f.ggurin' what your
frlends'll do Is a whole lot like
watchln' a woman throw a rock
your safety's entirely In the hands
fTo.l and nntur'."
