My Smelling Salts, James. I don't believe in germs as strongly I used to. I <oc some folks now and then that germs simply could not live on or about. A germ can't stand everything. There ought to be a law passed to protect the germs.

In 8 months, he inti, mated that the preacher was about ! the sorriest he ever heard. At the end of 12 months, he had begun to ' talk about the preacher's wife and family.

Worry When it comes to worrying I believe I am head and shoulders above everybody. . I frequently worry an hour or two at a time because I can't think of anything to worry about. I worry if it rains, because I am afraid it will rain too much; I worry if it doesn't rain and when it's cold I worry because it might get so cold that it will kill the grain I have planted, but still I always worry because I am afraid it won't get cold enough to kill the boll weevil. So, I worry, worry, worry. 1 worry when a note comes due, I m afraid the bank won't renew it, and when they renew it, I worry because I had to pay the interest. When I buy a new car, which is once every 4 or 5 years, I worry because I feel sure, a new model will be out the following week and then I keep ?n worrying because the., price will be cut. (It always has been cut, too.) I cross all of the bridges before I get to them. I have run foot races with bridges a thousand times. No bridges can got ahead of me. When a pimple conies on my face I know it's the beginning of a cancer, and after I have forgotten it and feel a pain in my stummick I reach the conclusion instantly that the doctor didn t take out all of my appendix a year or so ago, and <the. end that he left is fixing to burst. The other day some of m> folks borrowed my ear and went away in it to spend the night. I worried all night because I was afraid they would drain the radiator and let ali my dollar's worth of alcdhol spill out on the ground, hut the next minute I began worrying because 1 was afraid, mebbe, I didn't put enough alcohol in it to keep it from freezing and pang! went 40 dollars for a new radiator. When somebody tells me that somebody called n?c on the phone while I was out, 1 begin to woiry sure e:iouj?ir then. I think that perhaps one of my mules had died and the tenant was trying to phone me about it. or that my store had been broken into by a thief, and I was needed to help hunt him down. If i I cough 3 times I realize that nearly half of my uncles died of pneu! monia and if I sneeze twice. I've got i the flu. No. sir-rce: there ain't arc end to 'it- Old trouble is always on my trail, j Worry rooms with me and loops in , my arms. It Nticks closer to me . than a porous plaster. It never jets l>eyond the end of my nose. It i? J Whind me and in front of me and on my head and under my feet, but, right .... .t Jjrf ^ * . M: ? , w. now, I can't recall having had very much to worry albout, but I am worrying because I'm afraid that folks who read this will think I'm a bigger fool than I really am, but I ain't. . ? ?
