Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Random Shots There is only one way to make ideas invariably interesting, - simply tell the truth. Knowing that all people are liable to make mistakes gives me courage, although in weakness, in presenting a few ideas, likes and dislikes. My title page, "Random Shots," is a material benefit to me. As a rule, people in this world pass much like money - for what they are worth on the market. The following verses, except the last two subjects, were written to please myself, which, I believe, is the best way to please others. They were written for personal benefit and pastime, as a relaxation from the cares, duties, and responsibilities of every-day life. I feel confident that if my readers enjoy the reading one-half as well as I did the composing, I shall be perhaps better paid than I deserve. A friend, Mr. A. C. Mayo, of Danville, Ill., urged me to have them published, and, thinking they would certainly do no harm, I consented. "Fruitless Attempt to Analyze Space," and "The Comet´s Reply to an Atheist" are placed with my collection as a credit and compliment to H. H. Ballard, a Kentucky gentleman and scholar.
