What Bill Did

Bill Turner was farmer, he labor
ed all his life He didn't have no
schoolin' and neither had his wife.
But Bill was built for business, and
made the wheels go round, and left a
healthy fortune when they put him
under ground. He was always taking
chances, paid a hundred for a bull.
His neighbors called him crazy, but
he left stable full of cows that broke
the record, making butter by the ton,
and Bill had his picture printed in
the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had
newfangled notions of making farm
ing pay. He even bought fool ma
chine to help him load his hay. The
neighbors fairly snorted when they
saw the bloomin' thing; said that Bill
would never make it work. 1t wasn't
worth a ding. Bill didn't say single
word and didn't care a darn bout
what they said, fer slick as grease,
his hay went in the barn an hour
before a thunder storm came sailin'
out that way and caught his neighbors
in a pinch and spoiled their new mown
hay. Bills neighbors put their milk
in cans, and set 'em in a tank. Bill
SKINNED his milk with a machine and
turned it with a crank. Smith chops
his firewood with an ak. Bill used
some gasoline and saws a hundred
cords a day with another blame ma.
chine. Today Bills wife rides in a
car and dresses up in silk. Smiths
wife rides in a wagon and keeps OF
skimming milk.-Taylor County, Ky.

Keep Your Eye Peeled

Watch out for the man who is try
ing to take the joy out of life. Ten
to one he is a reformer for revenue
only, who is trying to make things
appear worse than they really are, in
order to make a place for himself at
the public pie counter He'll get up
an organization to fight something
that gives pleasure to others-wheth-
err its dancing, such as the young folks
enjoy, or playing cards, which may be
come of the matrons like, or bill
lizards, or baseball, especially on Sun
day, or any other enjoyment in which
normal, healthy human beings in
dulge. The first thing such a man
does is to go to the capitol to prevent
the passage Of a bill by which people
will get some enjoyment. He will try
TO have things prohibited. He is al
ways trying to prevent something. Did
you ever see this kind of reformer
trying to have bill passed that
would enable people to enjoy life. New
err His sole idea is to force through
the legislature or the city council a
blue law to make other people live
according to his ideas, or to prevent
the passage of laws introduced by
other people who may want to live
differently. The world is sad enough
without losing our pleasure. There is
no place in these red-bloded days for
blue laws. The pasty-faced complex
ion has gone out of style and the rud-
dy glow of health tells that we are
living the right way. The healthy
man and woman, who loves life and
the good things he can get from it,
is better citizen by far than the
,dyspeptic and selfish reformer who is
reforming for living or to make
other people as miserable as himself.

Miss Gladys was rather a fippant
young lady, and just so was her
friend. OF late meetings between the

Gladys friend could not fathem the
reason why, and in order to satisfy
her curiosity she called one afternoon.
"No mum, Miss Gladys is not in, -
the maid informed her. "She has

why, what class ?" inquired the
caller in surprise.

is getting married soon. So she's TAX

Walt Mason: 1t is not generally
known that Jane Adams has a secret
sorrow. Long ago she asked Clifford
Pinchot to be her bride, but Clifford
was the betrothed of another. Thus
tragedy entered her life, and laid il
waste. She presented a serene face &c
the world, but who can describe the
tumult of emotion in her breast? Now
the moon shines bright on Clifford
Pinchot, the breeze is signing, the
night-bird's crying, but far, far away
her Pinchot's pinching, and Jane is
weeping her heart away.

al, last night published what purport-

attempted to lay the responsibility for
