There is one, grain of consolation IN
the present condition of mortals. The
cold weather liars have become so
panicky that they congregate no
more about the village stores and
soak in heat which comes at a moth
ing price. They are so frightened that
they are actually staying at home
and scores of housewives are not I'M
der the necessity of splitting their
own wood Places Of business no
more are reeking with tobacco smoke,
and the splashes of juice on the floors
have disappeared. The places that
knew these wiseacreS and savlors or
the world, know them no more. They
are at home, alert and watchful,
guarding their households from the
threatened visitation of flu germs.
Next summer those same cheerful
liars will roll off volumes how they
beat the man on the pale horse.
