essssveoccesvetessterts goes try NBEAMS | A Sessseestesers seceseses [s ricsesoorescssretoesss Hello, people, I’m as busy mon- Hello. as a powder key on a_ battle- ship in action, but you are expecting me this week and I’m comin’ gol darn it, I'm comin’, Of course, I don’t hope to make all of you sunny. Some folks are so put together that they just can’t help feelin’ blue—so do I at times—but the secret of it is I don't let people see that I feel that way. In tryin’ to make folks ‘fergit’ their troubles I forget my own, that's why I'm called Sunny Jim. Try my recipe. It don't cost anything. I guarantee happiness and sunshine to you and all your friends, Not long since a party said to me, “IT judge from your style that you are Irish.” “Be dad,” says I, “It's Trish I,am and glad of it. I was born in county Clare, I have fished in Lake Killarney and kissed the Blar- ney Stone, Any more questions? “Only one,” he replied. “If you wasn’t an Irishman what would be?” “First,” says I, “I would be awfully ! sorry that I was. not.——Second, I would be thankful that I don’t belong to the (God forgive me what is it) species which you represent. For if 1 did 1 would hire somebody to scratch me to death and then have _ things go before the Coroners Jury and swear that I died of the itch.” And now? Bullet proof clothes, me for a suit at once. By golly that is the sort of duds I want if I go to war. But in any event, if I go, I aim to keep so far from the business ends of the guns that my last years union suit (and it’s very thin) will be all the bullet proof clothes I need, Not long since I read of a man (who lives in a dry state) who read a let- ter from a whiskey dealer asking him to send a list of the names of those} who were opposed to the drink habit in his community, He did it and soon forgot it. Recently he received a check for $50.00 from the whiskey dealer as a commission on the sales ‘of whiskey which the said dealer had made to the folks who did not drink. —~Eh? At last Butler has placed dainty little Keep to the Right post at each corner of the square. Now I call that bully. Next? Put a traffic man| at each crossing and soon the “jay” drivers will be killin’ folks same as they do in small towns, What? Did you ever hear the tale of the rabbit? No. Well it’s a short one. And then there's the story of two holes in the ground. Well . Well. See? Speakin’ of telephones. A friend} spake thusly. Said he. “I ° cann’t understand why it's easier to phone to town from the country than it is to phone from the country to town. “Why my friend,” says I. “that’s easy, just like goin’ to jail.” “How now,” says he. “Simply this,” I says “It's easier gettin’ in than gettin’) out,” A good many folks cling to the idea | that their destiny was fixed from the beginning and that there's nothing they can do to change it. Oh, such rot. Your life is what you make it. Don't be a quitter in the battle of life. Sooner or later you will die. Yes, but die tryin’ to do something. Better still, try to\do something be- fore you die. In short be the master of your destiny. Be the Captain of your soul. ; lf (when he turned Roosevelt down) he turned down 1-2 the think- ing people of the United States (as - stated recently) why go to war at all. Bring on the kraut eaters. The other 1-2 haven’t sense enough to fight, are Shoes on the market today—We ¢ lets let the big stick do the fightin’. Do I think I will be missed’ when Iam gone? Do you think you will be? Well my pompous friends, if you think your going will leave a place that can’t be filled by another just stick your finger into a pail of watre, pull your finger out and see how much of hole is there. If you act like a human and try be sunny while here somebody will think of you (once. in a while. But none will of us will- be missed (much). June at fast, beautiful month of roses, June brides and June bugs. The month in which we may see na- ture at her best. If we will look for the beautiful in nature. What is so rare as a day in June, Then heaven looks down to see if earth and heaven be in tune for mor- tals such as we, O. Just to be living a day in June God's wonderful works to see the sweet blushing roses, the lillies perfume. He giveth to you and me. > Elkhart. Well, here goes for what we can find.
