Indecision was written unmistakably
upon his ebon and rather honest-look

several f a dozen and more acquain

about to shake the dust of Raleigh

Then I was seized with an attack f
"moralizing" i.lon't have 'em oft em
ami could not avoid thinking for the
one hundredth time, as on previous
imilar occasions why it is that these

personal spleen against each other by
such a method a method that leaves

furnishes very little or none of the
"satisfaction" they started out in pur

What kind of "advisers" are the men
of their own race, who pose as such,
that do not point out to these ignorant
