To James Tompkins, Port Perry, Ontario DEAR JiM,-- : : While I'm roaming round I like to tell you some of the things. I sees and the curiousest is human nature. Human naturc has more surprises in it than a prize package of popcorn. a I came acrost a fellow the other day what had just paid $20 for a thorobred pup. Unless you was a dog fancier, the only way you's could tell that critter was thorobred, was by the way Jones stroked his new pet, He couldnt have made much more fuss over that theré.pup. Like as not the baby would have scared k Jones was awful tender hearted. He swore like a "good fellow™ X when the boy that was sent for a drink for the pup didn't turn up Tose - when he was expected. Swearing seems to be a sign of a tender heart that ain't working: just-right. It's a sort of relief to the distressing feelings that might cause the sufferer to give a dollar to a poor beggar. or a punch on the nose to an offender. It saves giving both, by describing what he would do if he had a chance. It's like blowing off steam to save the engine from running away when there ain't no governor belt on. Lots of men seem as if they would bust with the mean feelings that. fills up in them if they couldn't ease off a bit by swearing. It's just as e- lieving as lancing a felon or being tapped when you has the drops§. Fellows what ain't got this kind of stuff in them don't know whatag relief it is to swear--and don't want to know. Well, as T was saying, Jones was all took up with his pup. He bad a sight of work to do, but that wasn't a circumstance to looking after his thorobred. This animal was a Prince Charles spamel nd. weighed 'maybe a matter of four or five pounds with her hair.on. Tones had had a couple of mastiffs, and they had been pizened, and the only thing that saved Jones from being pizened by his feelings on that there occasion was the fact that he could swear. You see he had sct his heart on them there dogs, and had fed them 'ansight ol liver and bones, too, Mrs. Jones, she said Jones. wasn't bringing' in enough" money to pay for feeding as wach as two Here Mrs. Jones criei to re- lieve her feelings, and Jones swore some- more for the same: purpose. 'Jones was awful tender hearted. Well along about the time Jones bought the pup a agent come "around and wanted to sell him (Jones, not thé pup) a binder. He nigeded it too all right, Jones did; but then you see he'd spent a sight of money in thorobred pups and mastiffs, and was feeling too poor te buy anything he really needed in his business.
