Alone" Then the fellow will cut Il
out and HE viii complain, Il cant de
a thing unless | have a few under MY
belt to brace me up and put fins
ideas in my head" which is proof
that the fellow amounts to nothing
drunk or sober.

time and i will make affidavit that

My idea Of an optimist is fellow
who has just bought something Of an
agent that is to make him one hun
bred per cent and then goes around
telling what bargain he got.
The other day saw a man out in
front of his home sweeping the snow
off the sidewalk for about a block.
He was trying to make life's walk
easy for somebody else. Do you ever
stop long enough to put little sand
on the slippery places and toss d
stone out Of the pathway Of others?
When walking along the highway
and you come to neighbor who has
a bigger load than he can handlnp do
you take hold and give him a lift for
awhile? II you find a neighbor stuck
liz a mud hole do you stretch forth
your hand and give him a good
friendly pullg II you do these things
you are making life's walk easier Tor
somebody else. You may not cut
much ice here in the forum or the
mart, but Over Yonder you will be |
laying up riches far beyond the Wild
est dreams of these modern Rookie
rellers. Every rock you throw out /
Of your neighbor's pathway here
puts a jewel in your crown beyond !
The river. SO don't become weary
Or cast down II things break bad here
occasionally. Keep plenty Of ashes
On the slippery places in the winter
time and the neighbors will begin to
Use up and call you blessed and all
-FOUR days shall be filled with music.
For ashes, like kind words, won't
,ost you cent.

Old Man Blowloud has talked 50

The fellow who stops his paper a

want to state right here that 1t viii r

Old BIZ Shiftless is getting along
years a trlfle. He is not an old
an by any means and Is still in full be
'ength, but he is no longer kid. sa
Il is always telling how luck is &c
ainst him now and how the tariff OF
d the trusts and the railroads keep su
n down. But lots of people
'und here remember Bill,s boyhood
ys and earlier years and know ex- !
ly what is the matter with him. -
| was always a loafer. He was :,
ler known to stick at any job Wi
nth. All the work he ever tack =,
was hard and he couldn't stand ~
a cranky boss. The boss was al
nky because Bill was always shirlz- i.
and leaning on his spade. 1t =
mt long uutil anybody looking
hand would always pass Bill up
take somebody else. He hung AB
und the stores and borrowed chew
and smoking tobacco and absorb Int,
heat, He had no sense Of graft,
10 and would Just as soon sting
nd as anybody else, He owed ey- \
,ody who would trust him and job
10 no effort to pay Il. OF course Upl
