Streets and encourage smiling Faces,
the Bright plan was to avoid Argu-
ments and agree with Everybody in
the Interests of Good Cheer and
Harmony. When an Uplifter and
Benefactor starts out to Yes the
World, right in the Face of the
Fact that nearly all Adults are
wrong about Everything, he has to
have lot of Honey in his System
to stay on the Job.
We will speak of this optimistic
Beamer as Mr. Ferver. 1t will be
better not to tip off the real Handle,
as he may be some one you know
very well, possibly a Cousin.
Now, Mr.. Ferver was a Nice Man
who had a Theory of Life which is
backed up by 1000 Slogans such
as are printed In Old English Type
on Square Cards and set up on
Desks. AS a He-Pollyanna he was
a walking AID for all the Books deal
Ing with Sweetness and Light.
Whenever he got real warm he
perspired Maple Strip. If he saw
an Individual who seemed to be
transporting a hidden Sorrow, he
wanted to go right up and kiss Him,
Her or 1t.

Folks and a Nervous Shock to 9th
ers, and send some Good Woman to
the Foolish House.
A Clear Title Beats a Clear Con-
science.
AS usually happens, right across
the Avenue from this Human Choc-
olate Drop there lived Pirate
Chief who was hard-boiled, sun
cured, and tougher than a Ten
Vhhg CplhC.
Once more we will conceal the
Identity of one of our Characters
and merely refer to this Egg as Mr..
Grumm. Always it is better to sup
press the real Monicker. In this
Case the Siberian Bloodhound of
whom we are speaking might be
even nearer than a Cousin. He
might be You yourself.
There was one Reason why Mr..
Grumm was talked about so much,
and that was because he was always
sued, or suing Some One, or hir-
ing two or three Shark Lawyers to
juggle Contract so that Mr..
Grumm would get about two-thirds
of 1t. Many of our most hated and
prosperous Operators have had the
same idea in regard to Articles of
Agreement Somebody is going to
get hooked, so why not the party
of the Second Part?
On account of this being a Fam
lily Paper that will have to go
through the Mails, ii will be impos-
sible to set down the Words used
by Mr.. Grumm, the Gladiator, In
expressing his Opinion of Mr.. Fer
yer, the Pacifist.
The latter often rubbed his
Hands and registered happiness be-
cause he had never been snarled up
in any Legal Controversy. Which
is simply another Way of stating
that he had been stung. hornswog-
gled, double-crossed. bluffed. eu-

Once these two Neighbors were
involved in a Deal which took in
certain Payments and Rates of In
terest and long-term Leases. The
Dove followed his usual Policy of
accepting any kind of Compromise
rather than 90 to the Mat with his
FellOw-Man. After it was all over,
Mr.. Ferver had a Clear Conscience
and Mr.. Grumm had a Clear Title,
and the remarkable Part of it was
that neither of them had any Trou-
BILE in sleeping soundly every Night.
Helping Cupid Fire Love Darts.
You take a sympathetic Soul who
has a Heart which fairly drips
with Heavenly Love and inevitably
he will become Weeping Post and
Bureau of Public Comfort.
Those who were up against it
went to Mr.. Ferver for Consolation
and later sought out Mr.. Grumm to
have a heated Run-In. and then sign
Mortgage on the Dotted Line.
They would go on the Outside and
curse the hardened Shylock, at the
same time freely admitting that his
Words of Wisdom had not been
sugar-coated.
Mr.. Grumm was to the Human
Race what Calomel is to the Prac-
tice of Medicine.
AS might have been suspected,
Mr.. Ferver specialized in Affairs
of the Heart He was one of the
Many who believed that the most
useful Service to be rendered a
Young Person is to nag and en-
courage Him or Her into taking the
