z have often wondered why 1t 4
That nine out Of ten men will stel
fright over a spittoon and walk cleal
across the room and waste severa
minutes trying to open stove Just
to spit in It,.
Two or three members of our
church who have been using their
religion as a cloak may not know 1t,
Ibut the holes in the back of the cloak
are SO big that even the kids are
making remarks about 1t.
i These are the stirring days when
one good healthy harvest hand does
more to save the country than all the
Performers on the ChautauQua plat
form.
Young lady, notice that you have
dropped your hook into the matri-
monial pond and are getting nervous
already. Don't do 1t. Keep your
head and study out the bites. You
don't want to pull the second the
cord bubs a little. Just keep your
head clear and your hand steady
and walt until the cork goes clear un-
der and begins to sail away into deep
water. That means that there is a
fish at the other end of the line
worth handling. Too many girls
make the sad mistake Of pulling the
first time the cork hobs little, and
they land a -crawfish. OF course,
some Of them come back to fish a
second time, but even the the expe-
rlence fails to do lots Of them any
good. They toss out the hook and
the very second the cork hobs lit
tie they have landed another craw-
fish. Most anybody can land one
If those things. Also, most anybody
IAN land good fish II they have the
patience. Then there is another i'm
,ortant thing about this fishing in
he matrimonial pond that a whole
OF Of people overlook. There Is liza
lie to be crawfish at either end Of
he line.
Lots of people would save them =
elves any amount Of energy il they 9
