NOVEMBER.
The moaning winds OF November

The moaning winds OF November,
carrying sadness to our hearts and
high plug hats under country
wagons, are here. Itbehooves every
man 10 take care of his health. and
hang on to his hat. But, as some
will be apt to neglect their hats in
their anxiety fer their health, we
have thought fit TO give the follow
ing advice for thoir recovery
"When you feel your hat lifting i'm
mediately plunged your hands into
your hair and give it twist. THE
wilbattrac the attention of everybody
to you, and make you feel as aif you
were not quite alone in the world,
Then, as soon ss the hair lifts from
your eyes, and enables you to Sec
your hat skimming along the road,
start for it. Don't trot after it, but
gallop. and while you gallop, smile.
A smile goes a good ways on such
an occasion. 1t cuts off other smiles
by showing what an excellent joke
chasing a hat is, and that you like
it. Don't turn out of the way for
other people. So.ne of those you
met may not take that interest," III
the affair a neighbor should, and if
you can knock them do wn and step
on them they will become thorough
~ engrossed in the subject at once.
As sooon as you see the hat sto!
Immediately slacken your gaif you
can renew it again as SION as il
starts up; and when you get right
opposite to, it Immediately PROSTATE
yourself upon it, and then get upand
go for it again. Never neglect totalI
down upon ii ~hen you can, as that
gives the beholder better satisfaction
and at the sans time relieves the
chase of much of its monotony
Dan't forget your smile. This il
enc of the most attractive features OF
the whole performance, and should
not be omitted on any considera
tion. The moment you stop smiling
people ill think it is all an acci6en
and, losing their tempers, will COM
n,ence to gibe you. When you have
the hat fairly in your reach, give il
= good kick, land then chase it again,
ard when you are surteited with
the amusement, jam it down on your
head without smoothing your hair,
and dart into the first store to warm
yourself
