It's supposed t’ require all kinds o’ people t’ make a world, but we ran’t see where contentious people come In—snarlin’, bilious, argumen tlve, disagreeable, contentious people. Contentious people are not partial t’ any certain climate, or topography, or society. They thrive In little towns an’ big towns, an' they're engaged In all kinds o’ activities. We And contentious people wher ever we go, at cornerstone layln's, tveddin's, conventions, an’ even stand in' around where a safe is bein’ moved, or a post hole is bein’ dug. Contentious people have no warm friends. They're tolerated, but not liked. They’re often seen with others, but they’re taggin’ along. While there is no room In this cheerful, big world fer contentious people, they're here an’ are supposed t' be fer some good purpose, jest th’ same as th’ skunk an’ th’ hornet. O course th' skunk Is here on account of Its fur, but tve don't quite git th' hornet. We don't have t' be an' anaemic or out o’ luck t’ be contentious, as many people who ought t be tickled t' death are contentious. We meet highly successful con tentious people, an' that’s one o' th' causes o’ th’ supposed equal distribu tion o’ th’ good things o’ this life, an' one reason why we believe in th' ele ment o’ luck. Contentious people are alius fail ures as candidates, husbands an' clerks. Contentious people's time Is mostly taken up huntin' new associates. They make friends, but they don't keep ’em long. Contentious people often git beat up, an’ it's no uncommon thing t’ see ’em with flattened noses, gold front teeth, an’ not Infrequently with one eye off th’ job. Contentiousness spring from a natu tal, Inborn desire, often amountin' t' a craze, t’ take issue, t’ combat, t' question, t’ belittle, f stir up, t' argue with th’ other fellow—even at picnics, at funerals, in hospitals, at weenie toasts, marshmallow parties, on the street corners, an' in th' quiet pre cincts o’ th’ home. Wash Pusey was the most con tentious feller we ever knowed. His wife killed him with ft fork. It got so he had t' go out o' town t’ git in a conversation. He had one fairly good eye, but had not used his nose for years. He was in th' mail order busi ness or he never could have made a livin'. We remember o' Art Smiley Hayin' t’ Wash years ago, when he wuz jist startin’ out t' be contentious, that Kimer Swank, who’d won a gold watch In a tri-state corn shuckin contest, wuz a go«l corn shucker, an' right off the bat, he said, “Fair, yet. but he comes r h—II of a long ways from bein' what's called a fancy shucker."
