MEN WITH MULLIGRUBS In every town, big or little, there is a gang of fellows with acute mental cholera morbus. The convultions of their brains ere always cramping and they have a doleful time. More than that the spread their mulligrubs. If a calamity threatens a town, they multiply its certainty by ten, and its destruetion by a thousand. If a good thing is coming, they divide it by two and sniff at it.

And when a man gets out and digs and makes a dollar and a half or two dollars, they intimate that he stole it and that it is counterfeit anyway. These are men of a type the world over. They never build churches; their names never head subscription papers for libraries or schools; they never go deeper in their pockets than their suspender buttons, and when they have a scheme they expect to call a public meeting and have it put through with a whoop; work is not in their bright lexicon.

What else is there in it for these old roosters.

Certainly there can be little fun in peddling gossip and gloating in the misfortunes of others. Certainly these sour-headed codgers would be happier if they would lend a hand, not a hammer to the world. Certainly their children would be prouder among other children, and their names more blessed if they put in a little time "for the good of the order!" But what's the use of wasting time on that crowd.
