PAINFUL END TO JOY RIDE
Unfortunate Happening Caused Driver
to Think Of ResionIno From the
Optimists' Club.

How member Of the Optimists'
club got into most dlsagreeable COM
pany which made him feel the reverse
of optimistic, Is being quietly told. The
optimist has an automobile and invited
his best girl out for ride. It was a
most pleasant ride for time on the
roads south Of city limits. A cool
breeze was blowing, the auto seemed
to be the only one travelling in those
parts. 1t was dark and the optimist
had plenty Of opportunity to squeeze
the hand Of his girl and to bestow a
gentle kiss now and then when the
road was straight. Sometimes there
would be sharp curve, however, and
then the optimist would have to devote
his whole attention to the machine.
On one occasion the optimlst divided
his attention. with dire results. His
subconsciousness told him. that there
was a curve ahead. He guided the
machine gracefully around the curve
when he noticed he had passed fence
post on either side where farm gate
was ajar. Before he could put on
the emergency brake there was a
crash, and then most alarming cho-
rus Of squeals. The auto had run
squarely into a pigpen, and the pork
ers cried aloud In their alarm. The
fat swine jolted and rubbed against
The machine In their fright and when
the commotion was ut Its height an.
angry farmer reached the scene and,
wanted to know 'what In the heck"
the optimist was doing In his pigpen.
AS he silently drove back to town with
battered machine and lightened
pocketbook, furrowed look of pes
simism could have been seen on the
face of the optimist If 1t had not been
so dark.-Indianapol News.

NOT A SQUARE DEAL.

A retired farmer of southern Ne.
braska moved into village to spend
the latter days Of his life. Soon after
he was solicited to sign n petition for
n man who wanted to open saloon.
He refused to sign, and, when asked
for his reason replied that the town
did not treat the saloonkeeper fairly.
The applicant for license had
heard many other reasons, but never
having heard that one, he asked the
man to explain.
The explanation was like this: "You
want to start your saloon for the
benefit Of the town, don't your" "Yes,"
replied the would-be saloonkeeper.
"You think 1t will bring trade to the
town and improve business, don't

true the money is gone and the liquor

LIQUID BREAD"

This true story about the charm.
lessness" of beer Is told by the TEN.
perance society of the Methodist
Episcopal church:
"Some time ago an advertisement
asserting that beer is liquid bread
and temperance drink fell under
the eye of man who had never taken
drink In his life. He was me-
chanic, making good wages. He had
home, and was in every sense of the
word man of strong character and
of worth to his country.
"The liquid bread Temperance
drink converted him to the use
of beer. In time he introduced 1t into
his home.
"Some months later hs returned
home after an absence Of three days.
When he entered the louise he was
observation-disclosures, stuyid, brutal with
the brutality that delights in p-rvert-
ed forms Of cruelty.
"When he entered the living room
something angereG him. II may have
been the reproaci, he read Is his wife's
face. He knocked her down, went on
into the bed room where he found
his two children asleep. cut their
throats, and when his wife, hav-
ing recovered. entered the door and
screamed, knocked her dow again and
crushed her skull, literally kicking out
her brains.
"This man declared that he had
never tasted anything but beer In his
life. There Is no reason to dlsbelleve
him." q
