Useless Precautions
A Story Of the Moment
BY WALT MASON
The Famous Prose Poet

6CE HEAR that Jim Bilderbeck is
down with pneumonia again,
l. said the horse doctor. His wife
SAYS he simply won't take care OF him
self. Before he was recovered from his
last attack he insisted on leaving the
house, contrary to the doctors orders,
and now he's in such shape that the IN
dertakers are beginning TO quarrel
about him"
Z sometimes think" unused the vii
lage patriarch, that it makes no diff
ference whether We take care OF our
selves or not. It seems that we are
billed to have a certain amount OF
sickness, and we have TO fill our en-
gagements.
Every winter for many years I have
had a succession OF bad colds As soon
as got over one I'd contract another.
and by the time spring came my legs
were Wabbly like those OF a calf, and I
hadn't ginger enough left IN me to eat
my Vittles- This fall my present vile
said in a determined tone Of voice that
there would have TO be a reform. am
IN the sere and yellow leaf and apt to
fail off the earth il I don't watch out,
and she was going to take care OF me
and see that I contracted no more OF
those 81 varieties OF bad colds.
mo man was ever more carefully
guarded than I have been since she
handed down this prOnunciamento-
am wearing underciothing heavy
enough to make horse blankets, and
I have a channels skin vest to protect
my lungs, and every time I 90 home
my wife feels my pulse and examines
my tongue, and slips g thermometer
down my back to see how many de-
Rrees in the shade I am registering.
She has several large bottles OF medi-
cine with quinine in it, and II she sees
a hectic or bobtal flush on my cheeks.
she gives me dose. Yet in spite of
all, have had the average number Of
colds this fall, ind feel another one
getting its tentacles on me even as I
am sitting here.
Z look forward to the long, bleak
winter with dread. It's hard enough
TO have colds under ordinary condi-
tions, when you can let them wear

themselves out; but it's 100000 times
worse when you are under surveillance,
and have to take a large tablespoonful
of disreputable medicine every time
you give expression to a hacking cough.
/ doubt whether I survive the winter,
but if do, I know my legs will be
more Wabbly than ever in the spring.
Z have always been taking precau-
tons against some evil or other, and
1 can't recall a time when they did any
good. One year I leased q vacant lot
in the suburbs and undertook to raise
a crop Of watermelOns. I toiled dill
gently every morning and evening and
in due season had the finest collection
Of unadulterated melons that human
eyes ever saw. Then people began
stealing them. and this filled me with
Indignation I bought q shotgun and
mounted guard over my mIeOn patch
for several nights, and nothing hap
pened- Then, one night I was off duty,
being worn out with my vigils, and that
night the yeggmen visited the patch
and made great haul
Then I borrowed q. savage dog and
staked him out among the melons, with
long chain, so he could cover consid-
cradle territory. I felt sure that no
body would be so foolhardy as to steal
melons in the presence OF that man
eating critter. but when went around
in the morning, the dog was in a grog-
gy condition. People who should have
been more usefully employed had re-
duced him to pulp by means Of rocks,
and had then stolen all the melons
worth taking away.
ITO add insult to injury, they left q
note saying that they had intended
leaving my melons alone after the pre-
vious haul, but they accepted the pres
enee Of the dog as challenge, and, be-
ing dead game sports, they felt 1t their
duty to clean out the patch. I have an
idea that fortune takes a similar stand
When fortune or fate sees US taking all
sorts Of precautions to stave off dis
aster, she considers II a challenge, and
goes out Of her way to call our bluff
and make US realize that we are but
small potatoes and few in a hill at
best"
