People Do Differ!
Fifty years ago, Uncle Sam was almost a stranger on the maps; he hadn't
a friend in the world, apparently, while he had more enemies than he
could shake a stick at. Every body snubbed him, and every body wanted to
lick him. But Sam has now grown to be a crowder; his spunk, too, goes up
with his resources, and he don't wait for any body to "knock the chip
off his hat," but goes right smack up to a crowd of fighting bullies,
and rolling up his sleeves, he coolly "wants to know" if any body had
any thing to say about him, in that crowd! Uncle Sam is no longer "a
baby," his physique has grown to be quite enormous, and we rather
expect the old fellow will have to have a pitched battle with some body
soon, or he'll spile!
