cases eyestrain has anything TO do
with the drinking habit? l am in
clined to think so. OF course it would
not be reasonable to assume that in
al. cases of drinking among men of
this class the habit is due to eye
strain, because in some instances we
will find other special causes, maybe
an inherited taste, environment and
other influences that might be men
toned.
'If we take the most favorable view
of the theory, allowing all that is
claimed for it by those who advance
and advocate it, we will yet find that
other causes and excuses must be
found for the vast majority of cases
of drunkenness. Still these theories
arc all interesting. and we do not lose
anything by considering them. We
must not permit them, however, to
lead us to wrong conclusions, nor
must we accept as altogether true

Some Of Life's Riddle S

While the thoughts that are like all 9TH
erS are the ones We always tell,
And the deeds that are worth little
praise are. the ones that are pub
lished well.
Why is it that the sweetest smile has
for it's sister sigh?
Why is it that the strongest love is the
love we always pass by?
While the smile that is cold and indif
ferent is the smile for which we
pray,
And the love we kneel to and worship is
only common clay.
Why Is it the friends trust are tho
ones that always betray?
Why is it the lips wish to kiss are the
lips so far away?
While close by our side, il we knew 1t,
is friend who loyal would be,
And the lips We might have kissed are
the lips we never see.
Why is it the things we can have are the
things we always refuse?
Why is it none of US lead the lives If We
could we'd choose?
The things that we all can have are the
things always hate
And life seems never complete. no mat
ter how long we wait.

Costs Too Much for the Real Pleasure
There Is in It,

O~ShS
There Is in It.
The reputation OF being good
fellow in the worldly acceptation OF
the term is one OF the most costly
that can be attained, for not only does
it require the expenditure of ones
money. but the seIf-sacriticc of ones
heart interest as well. When its cost
is figured out there are few sensible
men who would care to undertake the
earning OF it. 1t means: .
The sacrifice OF home interests.
The neglect of wife and children.
The wrecking of ones health.
The keeping OF late hours
The wasting of ones time
The loss OF the happy home circle.
The association with those beneath
you On the social scale.
The doing of that which you know
is not right.
The ultimate abandonment of your
self when the funds have fed.
The loss OF those who have claimed
to be your friend when you have be-
come has been"
The discovery that you are friend
less when you need friends most.
The contracting OF evil habits.
The loss of your happiness, your
money and your soul
Is it worth the sacrifice? Ask your
self.-Trades and Labor Gazette.

On the wrist shines no glittering

At LEAST FIVE CARS

Large Number OF Entries for
Races Gives Assurance of
Good Sport.

The large number of entries for the anna
teur events on the programme for the
Decoration day automobile race gives as
surance that in point of number Of entries
the meet will be the largest ever held in
this part of the country. Enough entries
are now on hand TO assure a field of five
machines in every event, and some of them
will contain an even larger number of
starters.
The result of the auto run to Lafayette
on Tuesday and Wednesday convinced
many of the drivers of runabout machines
that the small wagons are equally as fast
the larger ones, and many of the own
ers OF runabouts will enter their wagons in
the touring car events also.
The trials, which were 10 have been held
Wednesday evening, will be run of to-
night and alf- drivers who expect TO enter
cars in Mondays races will have an oppor-
tunity to try out their cars this evening
and tomorrow evening. Work on the
peerless Comet which will be entered in the
big five-mile professional event was fin
ished last night and the machine will be
given its first workout tonight.
1t will be by far the lightest and smallest
machine in the professional event, but its
designers expect some sensational time by

expect the little flyer to show its heels TO
