Bill Jones Was a Pessimist.

Bill Jones was a pessimist when he
said: Man comes into this world
without his consent, and leaves against
his will During his stay on earth his
time is spent in one continuous round
of contraries and misunderstanding by
the crowd in the background. When
he is little the big girls kiss him; when
he is big the little girls kiss him. If he
speaks to a woman on the street some
gossipy old hen whispers Co his wife
Watch your man. if he don't speak
to every person he meets he is high
toned. If he is poor he is a bad man
ager, ii he is rich he is dishonest If
he needs credit he can't get it; If pros
porous everybody warts to do him IA
vors. III he is in politics he is graft
er; if he is out Of politics he has no in
Auence. Ii he is in church he is a
hypoerite; il he is out of church he is a
sinner. IL he donates to charity he
does it for show; if he doesn't he is a
yightwad Ii he dies young there was
a great future before him; if he lives
to a good old age he is simply doing it
to save funeral expenses.

THE internal revenue collection for
the western district of Wisconsin the
past year was the largest in the hie-
tory of the state, owing partially to
the big war tax increase on beer, CT
gars and tobacco. The gain for the
district for last year was over half a
million, and the total tax paid in the
district was close to seven millions.

CHICAGO TO PROVIDE
 XMAS CHEER FOR ALL
Elks Will Distribute Baskets to 2,OOO Families, While Other Organiza-
 ti0nS are to Feed Thousands.

Chicago, Ill.,, Dec. 23.-If anyone in Chicago does not share in the spirit of Christmas this year it will probbaly be his own fault, for nothing that foresight can direct is being neglect ed to make the holiday one of happi- ness for all.
 Churches of every denomination have arranged for special services, numerous dinners are to be given to those who are unable to provide their own turkey, and the usual accom- paniments, and even in the hospitals, asylums, prisons, and homes for or phans and the aged celebrations will be held.
 The downtown missions, the Salva- tion army, the Volunteers and similar organizations have arranged to give the customary free dinners and enter tainment for the poor. Several of the largest halls and assembly places in the city have been engaged for these dinners.
 In addition, approximately 10000 of the city's poor will sit down to Christ mas dinners in their own homes as guests of Chicago Lodge of Elks No. 4. The lodge, in accord with it's an- nual custom, will distribute baskets to 2,O00 families.

ELECTRIC AUTOS
 USED EVERYWHERE:

It has been only recently that the motor car-using public has awakened to the fact that an eledtric powered automobile is something beside a car for city use only. While they have long admitted the practicability of the electric as an all-year car for town use, it has been generally conceded that only a gasoline automobile was fit for interurban runs.
 With the development of the mod ern Detroit Electric, which has mile age radius of from 65 to 100 miles on a single charge, this theory has been disproved. A series of tests to demonstrate the fact that a Detroit Electric could be satisfactorily used for interurban travel, were arranged during the past summer by Detroit Electric dealers in Kansas City, De- troit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Denver, Toledo, and other points. These tests were made over suburban and country roads, averaging distances of about 90
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-12-24

miles per trip. Collectively, there were several hundred of these runs made and all without one single case of trouble of any kind.
 Over rough country roads, away from the smooth concrete, the Detroit e!ectrics travelled as easily as they did on the finest pavements. In the interurban tests only stock model cars were used, and the general public was given an opportunity, by riding in the machines, to see just what they would do in the country. Now, as result of this test, one sees electrics on many country roads. Sunday afternoon finds many of them along the routes leading from the cities to nearby lakes and resorts.
 Detroit electric officials say they believe that the time is fast coming when electric charging stations will be found along the country highways at the same places where gasoline and oil stations are now located. And when that day arrives they are condi dent that the electric car will stand the rigors of even the transconti- mental tour.

In three branches of indoor athletics
swimming, hockey and basket-ball-will
be put to a severe test in events of the
coming Saturday. Even the swimming
match with the Quaker team at the Uni
versity of Penna is looked forward to
in no confident spirit The Quakers
are regarded as Yale's only real oppo-
nents for the championship and a warm
contest is expected.
There is not a great deal Of optimism
in regard to the basketball and hockey
competitions. Even here the hockey game
at Cambridge with Harvard, and the
basketball match with Dartmouth at
Hanover are regarded no better than
five to three shot.

WE'LL WIN EVERY
GAME bob FOLWELL

PENS new football regime was given
a big boost last night, when more than
fifty husky undergraduates presented
themselves at the meeting called by
Head Coach Folwell and declared
themselves as candidates for the Red
and Blue eleven next fall. For the
first time since his election as head
coach, Bob Folwell committed himself
as to what Penn will accomplish on
the gridiron next season.
Wen win every game-And We have
ten big ones" Folwell declared. and
Pennsylvania has a harder schedure
than Yale, Harvard or Princeton. I
am not going to make the men adhere
to any strict rules of training, and for
letics at Pennsylvania the candidates
will be put on their honor to keep IN
condition. Our spring practice will be
thorough, but rudimentary. When a
football player knows instinctively
what to do with the ball when he gets
It, how to tackle. how to hold the ball
then he can devote his brainwork on
the football field to the finer points Of
the game. We are going to have an
entirely new system at Penn-and II
is going to be a winning system. What
I want are defensive men. With good
defensive players l can build up .
powerful combination. but frst the
players must have defence down to =
science"
Coach Folwell impressed on the can
didates the necessity Of entering some
other sport to keep in condition until
football begins.
