once had a neighbor who was
great prophet. He predicted one
time that on certain day he would
be sitting in his house and a cyclone
would come along and blow the
house to pieces and he would land
in eternity. On the appointed day
the fellow closed up what little busi-
ness he had and went home and sat
In the house all day. No cyclone

Henry Jason is pretty good sort
of a neighbor, but he is beginning to
get on my nerves and know what
that means. Jason will have no use
for me soon. He never goes by my
house but what he says: Deacon,
why don't you put another window
In the south side of your house"
or "why don't you paint the back
porch green" or your front yard
would look a whole lot better II you
would put an iron dog out between
H. ose two elm trees" I have planted
bulbs and moved the lawn and dug
out rose bushes but Jason never

fool idea of his own that he wants
me to try. If l should follow all
of his fool advice l would inside OF

neighbors would blow to kingdom
come with dynamite. If Jason fails
to see me when he passes he rub
bers and rubbers and then tackles
me on the street about something
else he has discovered. They are
too many men these days
Tor Jason to keep up his present
lick very long.
