anything with appreciative eyes. His ply

tality. He cannot enjoy anything, no matter
how enjoyable it may be in the abstract. A
man with foul taste in his mouth, with a
bilious headache, and with poisonous refuse

not enjoy anything. He honestly believes
that the world is all wrong and that It is
mighty poor place to be in. He is blue,
respondent, cynical. Life isn't worth liv-

this condition that it is absurd and ridicu-
