BY Ill SIBLEY.

The funniest part OF this story is
that it is liable TO be read in a certain
household down in my neighborhood
Not, however, il I can prevent it.
The subject is the sanitary free
lunch.
If this gastric tale appears to be
somewhat disjointed. it is because Of
what's in me. i didn't intend it 10 be
disjOinted, but what's in me-and it's
a-plenty-has had some effect on my
mental processes.
Here is the tale.
Late "Wednesday afternoon the boss
came In and with diabolical grin
suggested that there was "A rattlin'
good story In the free lunches since
they had been made antiseptc.
'TTot around 90 the various bar
rooms in town." he instructed, and

palatable and sanitary"
"D'yoG mean that YOU want me TO
actually enter these drinking places
and partakc OF free lunch ?" 1 asked
obviously.
Certainly"
and will 1 have TO order Spirituous
beverages 20 get the free lunch ?'
"No-nOt if you can get away with
it. Take soft drinks-if YOU have to-"
Well, that wasn't so bad. ! wouldn't
mind the expedition. free lunch or
any other kind of a lunch. for that
matter, always had a peculiar attrac-
tiOn to me- So, borrowing a quarter.

on my gastric expedition.

the free lunch. Across the room
was a counterful Of brass receptacleS.
They looked promisirg. Under each

It's all gone now Then he accom-
modatingly offered TO get me a snack

There are many sins of civilization,
but speed is one Of them and the
latest born, laments the Ohio State
Journal. Except In a courtroom,
speed Is an obstacle. 1t Is in the way
of true success, for 1t is Indifferent to
all the laws of life. A man who goes
so fast that he fails to see the quiet
and beautiful things along the way Is
injuring his mind and breaking up
his nerves. If we had a family OF sew
eral children and put them in an
automobile and raced them off at
20 miles an hour, we would regard
ourselves their mortal enemy, for they
will never grow up with their nerves
steady or their intellects lively.
The a~lienists say that in 200 years
the human family will all be funatics.
1t won't be that long. IL the speed Of
autos is kept up to overstwenty miles
an hour. Indeed, many Of these wild
and reckless drivers are getting that
way now, and they are pulling every
body down with them. But save the
children, and If the old lunatics must
have their way, take the children out
and keep them at home.
