EeeDHq Cool.

heepmg COOL
If ever there was a piece OF advice
easy to give and hard to follow it was
that common sentence when applied
to this weather, Keep Cool" There
are few things more difficult, more
painful than the exertion OF keeping
cool.
To saw wood in dark cellar is one
way OF keeping down ones temper
AZURE. But there are not enough ac-
cessible cellars for sixty million Of
people to follow that notwithstanding
pursuit at once; and saw bucks are
scarce. Eating Of ices and drinking
of frigid liquids is another way to
keep cool, but it isn't possible for one
to turn ones stomach into q reservoir
of unlimited capacity for the storage
of ice water, nor is it possible for one
to convert at will the same organ into
a receptacle for the CONCEALED pro-
duet of several diaries. Indeed, any
kind OF keeping cool is n business, an
avocation and, in the unfortunate
order OF things, when one labors TO
keep cool, one is pretty sure 10 get hot
trying to do 1t.
But there is way OF keeping cool
without trying and that is the only
comfortable way. That is TO pay NO
attention to climate conditions by an
ticipating worse or by dreading what
exists. IN other words, don't com
plain. That is keeping cool and it IL
the only keeping cool possible this
torrid weather.

grade, tho using only five volts,
and the rails covered with rust and
dust affording a poor contact, in
electrical terms. The Car sailed
down the long even track through
South Salem, where new houses are
going up on every side to attest the
magic power of this enterprise.
Then began
THE LONG CLIMB

four feet to the 100, a rise of sixty
feet. The car moved up to the tor
to the Barney Simpson house, stop
