HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very 'sot"
IN her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some eXcuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out Of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried neatly rolled umbrella
though II hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, "He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um.
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
trlumphantly.
That Is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
IL proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
dellciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as splendid argument against it,.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in CocaC Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism Of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik'
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and IL 1t is not
harmful In one 1t can't be harmful in
another We all know that 1t is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that 1t is
really helpful in whatever It is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course. the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises ant
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved tc
be no reasons at all, they are graspine
at an excuse which does not exist, &c
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, 1t all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

Caused Her Little Inconvenience.

A New York letter tells of west
ern girl, unused to the insidious cock
tail, who was dining in a Broadway
lobster palace. The dinner apparently
was given in her honor. She gulped
down her cocktail manfully but with
a wry face. During the dinner her
hostess noticed that her cheeks were
flushed, that her eyes sparkled ana
her face Leamed. The hostess felt
little concerned about her, but why, 1t
was hard to saw, as she was not in the
chicken class. Perhaps it was because
of the loudness of her laugh and con
versation. Anyway. the hostess leaned
across the table to whisper to her,
"Why, Kate, do you feel that cock
tail?" "Oh, yes" was the wcsterner's
reply with beaming face. Il feel 1t,
but thash all right. 1t doesn't annoy
me in the slightest"

EASE IN HILL CLIMBING.
Best Results Are Obtained by Placing
Most Weight In Rear Of Car.

~ ~
Most Weight In Rear Of Car.
The general sales manager of one of
the standard automobiles says that
hill climbing is the real test Of the
stamina Of cars. and it is more or less
true.
Possibly there may be n feature
Of hill climbing that even the average
manufacturer. to say nothing Of the
car owner or driver. does not under
stand. says the Automobile Dealer and
Repairer. 1t is this-to get the best
results in hill climbing the proportion
Of weight OF the real wheels should
be greater than Oh level roads. With
anywhere near the same weight on
both front and rear wheels, especially
in the case Of cars with long wheel
base, any car will drive hard uphill.
One point more-it seems likely that
If in automobile construction still great
er proportion of the weight of the car
were placed upon the rear drive,
wheels it would result in easier propul-
sion. Let those who are inclined to
doubt this make a test for themselves.
Attach in some way n weight of about
100 pounds to the rear axle and ascend
q hill as steep as the Il will negotiate;
then attach the same weight to the
front axle and attempt to climb the
same hill. 1t will be easily seen that
the weight when in front is far more
of a %hindrance to the hill climb than
when in the rear.
