In these days of official forecasts
not so much attention is paid as in
the days of our fathers to the weather
signs which old trappers and Indians
are supposed to have mastered in the
woods But even now many pin their

nests and squirrels store their nuts,

1t is more fun to see a man read
puff on himself in a newspaper than
to see a fat man slip on banana
peel The narrOW-minded man reads
it over seven or eight times, and then
goes around to appropriate what
copies he can. The kind-hearted man
goes around to the office and pays
what he owes. The successful bust
ness man who advertises regularly
and makes money by it, Immediately
starts out to find the editor and the
two walk silently down the street and
the business man takes sugar in his
and they both eat Glove or two and
life is sWeeter and peace settles down
on their hearts for moments. Such
is the experience of a mustard seed
