raiment.
Bargain Ballou's is corner of Mathew
son and Westminster streets. Look in the
window.
But whatever you do, don't fret.
The fellow who frets has got the worst
you can today, now. The ehap who Is
going to be happy tomorrbw, or next
week or sometime when he gets fixed
misses the golden opportunity at hand.
Perhaps you say to yourself; "How am i
TO cease from frettiDg when everything
goes dead wrong and even the wind Is
against me?" Never mind. Don't fret,
just the same. No one cares about you or
your hard luck, and you may fret wrink-
les in your face until IL looks like piece
OF corduroy cloth and IL will do no good'
Now, today, this very minute, is the
time TO laugh cruel fate right in the face
before you get in the front room with
your hand across your breast and the un-
dertaker near at hand keeping count OF
the chairs. And this brings us TO the
subject which is agitating the ministers
just now, viz. "Improving the prevailing
methods at funerals.
Ballou, Bargain Ballou Is Offering silver
ware at ridiculously low prices.
The methods at funerals?
Yes. They should be changed by all
means.
There is altogether too much hypocriti-
cal gush and sentimentality. There Is not
funeral sermon preached but that
causes more OF grief or sorrow.
Take away the Grape from the doorway
and in its stead put flowers. Outside OF
immediate relatives and friends let no one
else be permitted to invade the sacred
sanctity of the abode of the dead. Bar out
the professional mourner who goes to
every body's funeral out OF curiosity To see
the furniture and comment on the proba-
bic circumstances of the relatives OF the
deceased. There Is a good deal to do IL the
contract is taken 10 revolutionize the
present custom, but it should be done,
nevertheless.
After you visit the fair drop in to Bar
gain Ballou's and see the difference in
price on standard jewelry goods.
/ notice that Mr.. Breckenridge OF Ken
lucky ran aWuck of Mr.. Public Opinio
and got knocked off his political pins.
You know we were discussing "Public
Opinion" the other day. IL makes or un-
makes men as Mr.. Shakespeare says. The
subject OF debate before the Il. q. T. A.
Club last evening touched on this ques-
tlon. IL was: Scan a man knock a chip
from the shoulder of public opinion and
come out any better than second
best 2" Mr.. Jasper Jones argued
In his usual comprehensive
manner. Among other things he said
at are mighty risky business this
gettin into an argument wild public pin
ion. You sees at fust sight you might
think he's agin you, but when YOU thinks
haa him, do
and he makes you look like monkey.

Cheap talk.
Do you not get weary at times when on
the cars or elsewhere where you are
obliged TO listen TO what is known as
cheap talk. You will hear il almost
everywhere you go. The men are just as
bad as the women, IL not more SO. Talk,
ialk, talk, and when you get all through,
1othing has been said.
But people will talk.
Sometimes they will talk for or against
lou, just as they happen to feel. Whether
hey know you or not they will talk, and
good many times the more they talk the |
cos tney aCIuuily say.
