The Fool Streak.

"The fool streak is as much an or.
dained organ of the human body as
is the conscience or the appendix "
asserted old Festus Poster. at is that
attribute which prompts us to over.
estimate our own importance. to fancy
that we can beat the other fellow at
his own game. to believe that the av-
erage Hon. is infested with herd

dash after dashing widows. to expect

horse sense, to plant congressional
garden seeds. to call chance acquaint-
ances Brother to buy nOnessentials
on the installment plan. and so forth.
The conscience can be reduced or Grad
icated by moral suasion. The appen-
dix is removable by an operation. But
the only efficacious method of getting
rid Of the fool streak Is for the victim
to seat himself and carefully and

sixty. and women when over fifty
Peter the Great also disapproved Of

The little bride was having her first
adventures In the culinary line and 1t
was hard. as she had never been
taught the art of cooking. The young
husband remarked one day how fon,l

mother used to make, all fat with
raisins and spice and all things nice.
After his departure for the office,
the little bride looked through tho
recipe. 1t looked easy; you took one
cake of yeast,a pint Of boiled milk, so
much butter. sugar. etc. She decided

was not definite; It left something for

to cool before adding the yeast.
Therefore she mixed the ingredients
all at once. Throughout the day she

neighbor, taken into consultation,
thought perhaps it had been chilled,
and suggested placing the bowl in hot
water. which was done.
- Together. the young couple watched
1t, but the stubborn disposition was
still with 1t. At twelve o'clock the
young husband lost patience and re-
tired. with the remark. "If 1t were
mine. l would throw the darned thing
In the garbage can." Not SO the lit

much of waste and conservation, so
she stayed up. sleepy though she was,
