. California agriculturist and live stock journal. Agriculture -- California; Livestock -- California; Animal industry -- California. People ^Vill Talk. rE may get through the world, but 'twill be very Blow, If wc litjteu to all that is said as we go, We'll bo worried aad fretted, and kept in a stew, ' For lueddlesome tongues must have something to do, For people will talk. If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed That your humble position Is only assumed; You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, or else you're a fool. But don't get excited, keep perfectly cool.

For people will talk. If a fellow but chance to wink at a girl. How the gossips will talk and their scandal un- furl. They'll canvass your wants, and talk of your means, And declare you*re engaged to a chic in her teens For people will talk. They'll talk fine before, but then at your back Of venom and slander there's never a lack; How kind and polite in all that they say, But bitter as gall when you're out uf the way, For people will talk. The best way to do, is to do as yon please. For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ea
