Just be cheery and bright, even if the coal bin is about empty— the worst is always to come. No, | ain't got my 1918 jitney license yet, but I have a 6o-day option on 7 gal- lons of gasoline and if I can pay up and get the gas I will get my tag. Otherwise not. But I am in good standing with the Amalgated Liars Club. Just received my card a few days since. 1 did very well last year. Out of a membership of over 1500 1 took first prize for being (no, not the biggest liar) the most benevolent and also the most conservative prevaricat- or—at least that is what his infernal majesty “U. R. A, Nother” wrote me. I don't seem to recall any such meri- torious work, but perhaps some of you are able to do so. If you have any suggestions that will help me to keep my-work up to such a high standard they will be appreciated and I won't ask where you got ’em. It is reported a miner fell down a shaft 185 feet deep and was killed. 1 suppose any other sort of a human would have met the same fate. Still, I don't know. I heard of a man once who fell from a 60 ft. ladder and was not hurt. But, he just fell from the first rung of the ladder, possibly that was what saved him. I dunno, I met a-feller recently who seemed to be sufferin’ considerable. ‘What seems to be the trouble, my friend?” says I. “Hook worm, or a guilty con- science?” “Neither one,” said ‘he. “It's my face that is’ painin’ me.” “Oh,” says I, “if that is all, brace up—~- don't mention it. Why,” says I, “just think how your face has pained a lot ’Spose you are get- ting used to it by of other folks for years (when they look at it).” ‘There's quite a good many men +tarin’to go tothe war,butaretoo old, Patriotic? well, yes; but these same men were here 18 or 20 years ago when the Spanish-American war was on tap and they didn't break their necks enlistin’. No, sir; and at that time they were not too old eith- er. Too bad that old age keeps these fire eaters and bench warmers at home, ain't it? I wonder why it is that Big Stick Teddy can shoot off his mouth, criti- cize the government from the Presi- dent down, while the rest of us ain't allowed ta even cuss an army mule. J just wonder, I read in a paper how to make a “pot roast” last for four meals. Now, a haven't seen a roast of any kind for many moons, Wouldn't know one if I met it. But if anybody) wants to know how to make a kettle of soup last for a week, just tell ‘en: to ask me. Some one asked me this—What is an accident?” I replied, “a casualty. “And what is a casualty?” says he. “Why,” said I, “it is an event proceed - ing from an unknown cause, a mis- hap.” “So?” says he. “Well, now, tell me (if you cat) what is a mishap?” “Alright, sir,’ says I. “A mishap is a disease that attacks people who try to pry into other folks affairs, meddle with business other than their own, or ask too many fool questions, usually fatal, and—" I ain't seen him since. I heard of a man whose name was Hog. Yes sir, just that. He was a pretty good sort, but folks annoyed him by talking about the hog market, grunting, etc, when he was around. The poor fellow decided that he would change his name so he applied to the city council or maybe it was to the “sassiety” for the prevention of crucl- ty to animals, J forget which, Any- way whoever it was changed his name to Johnson. Did it make life easier for him? Well, not none a-tall, for from that time he went (also came) by the name Hog Johnson. Moral:—Be con- tent—changes may be embarrasing if not disastrous. A strange thing about our house is that it is cooler inside in hot weather than it is on a sleeping porch. Like- wise it’s a darned sight cooler on the inside on a cold night than it is out on the roof. I find it so. I shore do| Lest you forget—When I began writin’ Sunbeams I made a talk like this.

Sunbeams are in- tended to divert your mind from the cares,and worries incident to the daily grind. Not silly enough to be plumb foolish nor yet serious enough to keep you awake at night and yet, taken by and large they are better than medi- cine, provided they are taken as they should be, viz: If you like Sunbeams, tell your friends where to look for ’em.~ The Times costs only $1.00.
