IT WAS ON ALL FooLs 5 DAY
Young Husband Thought His Bride
Had Made Concrete Biscuits as
Joke on Him.


With an air OF pride and satisfaction
and expectation the fair and fond
young bride brings to the breakfast
table the platter OF piping hot biscuits
which she has prepared with those
lily white hands which the tender
bridegroom had vowed should never
know the sullyng stain Of toll "lry
these dearest" she said TO her hus-
band. who is trying to remember the
vow he made never to read the paper
at breakfast.
The young husband obediently prizes
open one OF the biscuits. applies some
butter and attempts to bite into the
thing. Suddenly a wave OF compre-
hension flashes over his face. He puts
down the biscuit and fayors his
adoring bride with peal Of hearty
laughter
why do you laugh 30 merrily. my
angelo she inquiries
"Oh, hol hol Hal hal hal" he
shouts TITS on me this timel on,
hoi hol Hal hal"
What do you mean?" she asks won
deringly
"Oh, hol no! You surely are clever'
TO think that you would remember
that this is All Fools Day and make
these concrete biscuits to fool me!
That's the best ever!"
And his subsequent peal OF laughter
is interrupted by the tears Of the tair
and fond young bride. who is thinking
OF going home to mother.

Great men are only great in their

plans on a larger scale-think in big

-climb longer hills-contest in great

from opportunity.
It's the size of the game as well as
the size OF the man that spells sue
cess.
Fear clutches it's nickel tighter than
courage holds its yellow-back.
It's far greater gambling 70 take
no chance than to risk all your full
capital OF wit ana grit in one plunge.
Suppose you don't succeed at first,
you can always make another try.
SO long as you're strong and healthy
and sane-so long as you maintain
confidence, you retain all your assets.
you are Just as wen equipped after
each setback as you were at the out
set.
If you're afraid to slip, your never

Of capacity and intelligence.
The heart and the soul are mex
haustible purses, The brainis bank
account that can't be overdrawn. The
more you check against your reserve
Of talent, the more it grows-you add
to it by subtracting from It.
Use your birthrights. You can't
lose them unless you lose your nerve.
If you fall short, you cannot fall
further than bed rock, and that's
where you stood in the beginning.
You've everything to gain when
you're ready to lose all. and after you
have lost you still possess your first
stake.
You're not broke until your deter

Failure begins and ends in the indi-

you can achieve, you won't
You'll stay in the background until

The grand jury Of Adams coun-
ty, Ohio, has been very busy OF
late indicting men for selling their
votes. Many vote sellers have
been fined, but how about the vote
buyers? 1t does not appear that
the grand jury has indicted single
vote buyer. Isn't it more import
ant to get At the vote buyer? Ism.
it most important to take steps to
make vote buying Improbable,
and therefore impossible? And,
II punishment be justice, isn't there
more justice in punishing the man
who buys 1000 votes at $3.50 apiece
than in Furnishing 1000 men who
sell votes at $3.50 apiece! Any
way, IL the vote seller should be
fined SO, why regard the vote
buyer as an "innocent purchaser?
