HUMAN NATURE. | Talking with a friend this morn- | ing, he said: *“How do you accouni| lor the perversity of human nature?’ When it was cold here the people complained about it; said they| wished spring would come. Today is a summer day, and those same peo- ple are complaining about the heat, wishing it was cool.” Having the subject brought up by an outsider, we turned to an out- sider for an explanation, Said this second friend, “The explanation is this: There is hardly one person in a hundred that's normal. Nearly ev- erybody has either something the matter with his stomach, or he is dressed too warm, or too tight, or there's something the matter with his nerves. “You show me a man whose head and stomach are all right, and I'l show you a contented man, I saw a 105 Adams Block, Kentucky Avenue THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAEELAND, FLA, APRIL 1, 1912, My line of Men's KEEP UP TO DATE IT REALLY Doesn’t Cost any More You get more real satis- faction from being well- dressed in point of foot- wear thao from any other ~art of your apparel Clothing of Suits and DPants, con- sisting of Serges and Worsteds are complete and you will do well to in- spect my line le- fore buying.
