Still Willing to Be Imposed Upon


He had youth and much faith and
inexperience, but his good father took
him into his Office to initiate him into
the mysteries of business.
The second day he was at work a
man came in asking for financial aid,
with a pathetic story about sick
wife at home and six helplessly small
children without crust in the
house.
The boy listened earnestly and then
went into his dads Office to intercede
for the unfortunate man. He told
the sad story seriously. The father
leaned forward and peered into the
outer Office at the vagrant.

Queer Funeral Customs.

1t would be difficult to find stranger
funeral customs than those practiced
by the Andaman islanders. The ma
tives actually drop the bodies OF their
parents into the sea at the end Of
ropes and leave them there until moth
ing remains but the bones, which they
gather and hang from the roofs Of
their huts.
1t is a common custom for man to
sit by the house and watch the bones
of some relative. This is the way they
have of showing their love and re-
spect.
The bodies are treated in this fash
ion 30 that the evil spirits cannot
tease and pinch them. All that is
left are the dried bones. and these
are placed high 80 that IL the evil
spirits wander into the huts they will
have hard time to find them. If a
bone Is carried away 1t means some
bad spirit has seized 1t, and this indi-
Gates that some terrible calamity will
befall the family.

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 a neatly rolled umbrella
though 1t hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a fash 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 UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
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
1t proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets puch of it's refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that 1T contains. They looked upon
that as a 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 Coca-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 If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that 1t is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it 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 and
having had what they thought we're
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at ALL they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.
