1 vsually write ubout that
which I bear, fee), see, taste,
and smell. Over all these seases
my thinker presides.
Everybody in this county that
ha a foelér knows that we have
just passed through a very cold
anap. 1 have been in a section
of the United States where and
when the thermometer res-
tored twenty-sev^n degrees be-
low aero, and it did not hurt me
^itny worse than the last snap
hurt me; it may be it was be-
cause my blood and clothes were
thinner now than they were then.
It is a rare thing for the weather
to suit everybody's feelings.
We are all so constituted that
we love to feel well; some people
attach more importance to their
feeling than others do I once
heard of a man that was afraid
be would become paralysed and
lose his feelings. One dsy he
waa sitting at a table eating, and
all at once fife imagined that be
waa paralysed; he commenced to
pinch himself as he thought; he
at once commenced to cry and
say that It ia juat as I expected.
A gentleman sitting near by him,
aaked him what ia Just as you
expected? the man said I am
pira)jsed. The gentleman sit-
ing by him, aaked why be
thought so. Why be aald I have
been pinching mytetf ever ao
long, and 1 can't feel It. The
man sitting by him, said you
have been frincbing me all the
lime. After all I think if we
want to feel right, and good is to
think and do right at all times
and places.
I like to please the people and
make them feel good, but that ia
nn awful hard thing to do, and
<¡i> right. When a man tries to
p , use everybody it usually turns
out about tiiis way : I once
l , :t i d of an old man and his son
that was traveling along a road,

ai.il hia papa was walking. They

tin y ought both ride the little
<j ,nkey. Soon they met aome
more people that told they
ought to be ashamed both riding

ought to dismount and carry the

put a pole between its legs, and
on their shoulders; pretty soon
they came t<> a creek and the
onl.\ way to cioss was to walk
ai i-nss on a log: as they were
walking along they lost their
equiliberuin, and off they fell
Into the creek and as soon as
they recovered, the old gentle-
man said to hia son we have
tried to please everybody that
we have met and we h.ive failed
to picase anybody and ourselvea
too.

to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem if ahe Is

to distribute food to the cities with
