It takes a great deal of expectancy to condemn some things. There are the grayed skeletons of several thousand dead cows, horses, sheep-- some men--out in the desert through Arizona and New Mexico. That's a large portion of America. You must know how much finer it is to live in these states than in the east. A cow's skeleton is a merry playmate compared to a Wall Street broker, or a Vesey Street intelligentsia journalist out to show you a good time. And snakes? Playful?--I guess so. Cows lie down and die there and the heat is so intense that six days after one can sit on their carcasses and not smell a putrescence, so quickly does all moisture pass into the atmosphere. ... --- Who turned the sky upside down and spilled all the mess where New York is? Still, the place is beatuiful if you look at it that way.
