* * * * p un h as no H m itg. It is like the human race and face ; there is a 

 family likeness among all the species, but they all differ. New combinations pro- 

 duce new varieties. A man who has an eye for fun sees it in everything. * * * 

 There is a work called ' The Horse.' and another The Cow,' and ; The Dog,' and so 

 on ; why should' nt there be one on ' The Galls ?' They are about the most diffi- 

 cult to choose and to manage of any created critter, and yet there aint any de- 

 pendable directions about pickin' and choosiu' of them. Is it any wonder then so 

 many fellows get taken in when they go for to swap hearts with them ? Besides; 

 any one can find a gentleman that keeps a livery stable to get him a horse to order, 

 but who can say, ' Thin is the Gall for your money!' "
