sometlllng about the machinc The ma chine is all right he says says he folks shouldnt worry about the machine Its a good thing and I believe in using it Enough said thought I and so I got out tie clip and had mowed just one swath through the black oak timber country on the back of his head when he turned on me and swore like a Ninth Ward Alderman Alder-man Do you want to ruin me lie shouted Do you want to destroy my individuality my greatness an make a commonlooking man of me Who told you to put that mowing machine on mv head You did says I and anyhow my advice to you is to have your haircut

that thing Ill skin you Did you know that Logan believes his hair gives him political politi-cal strength as Samsons hair used to give him strength in his arms Well its so and he believes hed a got Grant nominated if I hadnt cut that one swath i He wore his hair long at Springfield and ame out winner Part it on tins side I think it would be a fine thing to have Logan for President he might pet
