His father had been careful to provide
his unworthy offspring with enough OF
this worlds goods to keep him from
want-if not from wanting. The aver
age man in his place would have been
content to sit on the front veranda
and watch the hired man shovel divi-
dends into the coal cellar Not only
his next meal but all his meals for two
or three thousand years to come were
guaranteed, and he was sure of place
to sleep in and enough clothes to en-
able him to walk the streets with COM
fort, if not elegance. He could even
buy twenty tons of coal at one fell
swoop, and the monthly dawn of the
butchers bill was not calculated to
cause him any great mental perturba
ton. Most men would have read the

pealed to him as causing the greatest
number of spinal creeps to the minute
was that which referred to the possible
activities of moth and rust and more
dangerous eradicators of worldly
wealth.
Then he would dash around the cor
ner to the ticker and see what the
latest changes had been in the United
States Three. Somehow he had in idea
that Government bonds were not safe

means and an immoderate indisposition
to do hard labor. We might get tan

Fables for the Foolish

Count that day lost whose suns not rendered
dim
By lowering clouds of worry dark and grim.
When he was supposed to be Sc
dulously coming the bright lexicon of
youth he was constantly wrestling with
the notion that the next page would
reveal to view the fatal word which
he was reliably informed was not in
the book. Instead of throwing all con-
siderations of care and prudence to the
winds and sneal1ing over the fence to
where his neighbours watermelons lay
fair and smiling in the sun he would
hang around on the@outside and Won
der how it would feel to be bitten by
the low browed canine whose duty it
was to patrol that beat. While he was
wasting tine in wondering, the canine
aforesaid strolled up and dispelled all
doubts that he possessed on the nature
and arrangement of dog teeth. Then
the youngster would worry because
hydrophobia didn't appear at once ac-
cording to schedule.
1t was the same, only more so, as he
rose in the scale of age. Most young
men would look the landscape over
more or less carefully, and when their
eyes lit on some particularly likely
specimen of the usually fair sex would
GO in and win; in case they didn't pull
off the affair in the manner they had
anticipated, they would retire to take a
fresh reef in their courage, preparatory
to going after another sample of the
genus mentioned. Our grand chief of
the Order of Trouble Anticipators
couldn't do the thing in any such sim
pie manner. 1t didn't matter how prom
Using a young lady might be-and all

young ladies can promise more in half
an hour than they can perform all the
rest of their lives-he would retire into
the dark recesses of his mind and dig
up a choice collection of doubts and
fears made specially for just such an
occasion. The young lady might be
handsome and sprightly, but would she
be willing TO take in washing or do
china painting by the day if it should
ever become necessary? She might be
intellectual and her mind might appear
good for a five-round go with Ruskin
or Herbert Spencer without extra train
ing. but would she be willing to get up
in the middle of the night and climb
to the top shelf of the closet for the
paregoric bottle? She might have
money, but what sad blow it would
be to one who truly loved her if she
should happen to lose it-or refuse to
part with it easily. These are merely
samples of the way that this miser-
able representative of the human race
exercised his morbid imagination.
While he was sitting up nights paint
ing black pictures of things that prob
ably wouldn't happen and couldn't be
helped if they did, a malevolent fe-
male person stole up behind him and
married him unawares, so to speak.
At any rate she dragged him off the
perch before hes had had time to fix
up a real good worry After marriage
he discovered that the possibilities he
had feared were beds of rose leaves
compared with the things that that
woman did to him. But it was too
late to worry about it, and besides he
had found something else to occupy
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-08-28

It's lack of wit. 1t is a good thing to
have a pretty face; but if the face be
only like wax mask, moveless and
expressionless, it soon ceases to at
tract The lOveliest picture would bore
us if we had to stare at it dumbly all
day. And there is undeniably a stiff
ness, a fOrmaiity and often a most
rcpellant and UEsympathetic GOODNESS
about the British fair sex which re-
acts upon the men and women of other
more warm hearted and impulsive ma
tons in manner highly disadvan-
tageOus to the ladies or our Fortunate
Isles. For it is not real stiffness, or

course, if she leaves it alone and is sat-
isfied to merely keep it clean, without
any "adornment" from the beauty doc
tor. And, though steadily Withholding

greater portion of the beauties at the

bottom knocked out of our credit. What
would have appealed to most of us
as q dead sure thing looked so full of
holes to this poor worm that he could
see right through it. Finally he sold
all his securities and brought his
money home where he could sit in
front of the safe with a shotgun day
and night. Along about the second
week OF this performance the house
took fire and the firemen dragged the
mark out of the ravaging element with
all the hair singed off his head and
most of his wearing apparel missing.
The final end of this unattractive
individual overlook him after a long
stern chase, corraling him in the poor
house after driving him out of all the
old mems homes in the State But he
had died so many times already in an
ticipation that his eventual demise was
really only q matter of form gone
through with more for the sake of the
feelings of the undertaken and the off,
ciating clergyman than for any other
reason. The last words that he was
heard to utter were expressive of a
fear that his halo would not be last
years pattern.
The reasons for relating this sad tale
of human woe are many and various
and most of them are unimportant.
but it is well to note at least the fact
that while we are working ourselves
into premature old age by crossing
bridges before we come to them. we are
likely to break our necks tumbling over
bank where there isn't any bridge at
all.
