The Garnett Chautauqua Boosters Walt Mason ! ' -..v--iC WW- ?V I THK SPKK1 MANIAC Where'er he hies he simply flics, the dust behind him thickens; past my abode he burns the road, and kills niy pup and chicken. He toots his horn as though In ocorn of folks who trarel slowly; liki falling star his noisy car attains speed un holy. He does not care for your de spair, nor heeds your angry feelings he sroots and rips and tears and tips, with drunken . leaps and reel ings. For poor galoot who tolls afoot, he does not care a stiver; he scares the mules, the farmer tools they bolt and kill the driver. Along his track, for meters back, his dead and maimed are lying; he merely sniffs at mangled stiffs, and still he goes a-flying. When brought to court this measly sport is taxed a few piasters, when he should wall for years In Jail for causing such disasters.- Throughout the land this thing we stand we stand It 'cause we've got to and all our kicks don't serve to fix the saphead with the au to. Perhaps some time 'twill count as crime to run amuck, doggone it, along the pike, and chase and strike and maim the people on- it. WALT MASON. Copyright, 1914, by tha ltalpath-llorner Chautauqua.

There are It A live, active member in thin association. They make the Chautauqua the biggest week of the year. Last summer, like mnny other organizations of the kind, they took a boosters' trip, visiting twelve nearby towns and inviting ail of the jteople or all the communities around into the Chautauqua. One hundred and live men took the trip, and all but two bought their tickets, so the owners of the rant wouldn't come out tn the hole. They started promptly at 7 'clock In the morning and kept within four minutes of schedule. They traveled 112 mile, and their band accompanied them. Two boys went abend on motorcycle and announced their coming, and the folk nt home were constantly Informed cf their movements by phofie. This news was shown on a large bulletin board on a prominent downtown street.- When they arrived home the whole town received them, and the big event was celebrated by a band concert in the park that night. They were praised away from home and at home. Every town around thought more of Garnett. and every one knew more altout and thought more of the Chautauqua and (iarnett's Chautauqua spirit. And this was only oae town. There were nearly 200 others that tool; similar trips and realized big returns from them.

For steam lng winds and brazen skies, which make the cornfields Sourish, will also multiply the nies, encourage them and nourish. And Hies are such a pesky crew, they made one's reason totter; and so the first thing that you do should be to buy a swat ter. The good old doctors disagree whene'er they have a chance to; one doc goes haw, another gee we can't guess where they prance to. Dut on this question of the flies,-they speak up as one sawbones; they tell us that we ought to rise and wade in blood and rawbones. Bo baste and send your little son, or, failing him, your daughter, to hardware dealer with the mon to buy a trusty swatter. And then from every low ly cot we'll drive the pesky critters, and sing and chortle as we swat, and hand the files their bitters. And thus we'll benefit the race that is n't far-fetched, is it? We'll make the world a better place in which to sit and visit. WALT MASON. away lo their native fogs, but they have been fed and pampered like poodles or hairless dogs. And all of thene facta should teach you It's wise to be bright and gay; come out where the breeze can reach you, and blow all your grief away. WALT MASON. VK MOUALISTS We like to regulate our neighbors, and mark for them the way: we would prescribe their fun and labors, their penalties and pay. We always have a text to back us, whatever stand we take; and morbid doubts can never rack us, or make our con science ache. For we are all so strictly pious, and free from spots and mire, that e'en the angels can't deny us the halos we desire. And since we have no streak of yellow that much is understood of course we chase the other fellow and try to make him good. We don't resort to moral suasion, or methods mild like that; we give his head severe abras ion, and try to break a slat. We show the road that you should trav el, and If you halt or fall, we slug you with a chunk of gravel, and send you off to Jail. We're bound to make this sad world better, and life a Joyous hymn, e en though we have to place a fetter on every human limb. In olden times the pious her mit was satisfied to train his spirit. or whate'er you term It, In solitude and pain; but no wthe good man ups subsized by some paint and varnish store." Dut I haven't had a yen from the dealers in red lead, since I started urging men to embellish house and shed. Some men tell you how to vote, others tell you how to pray, but I'm wearing out my throat shrieking "Paint Up!" all the day. It's because I hope to make this old world a brighter place that I urge you till I break both suspenders and a trace.

PLAIN SPKAKINO I used to say Just what I thought, on every mortal theme, and life was hectic and hot, and every day a scream. I tried to show I had no fears of any human foes; and peo ple often pulled my ears, or else they punched my nose. But I was not dismayed, thereat, nor humbled yet, by heck! And people often Jammed my hat clear down around my neck. My head was bloody but unbowed, as said some martial toff, and every time I met a crowd they'd kick my coattails off. "A soul undaunted still I have," I often would declaim; and then I'd buy a quart of salve to spread upon my frame. In time one wearies of such strife, however bold his soul, and so, to gain a peace ful life, I canned my rigmarole. In stead of shooting off my bile at every time and place, I bought a large elas tic smile, and wore it on my face. And though I still had burning thoughts, I kept the blamed things down, and no one heard the caustic shots for which I'd won renown. And now all day I dance and sing, and people like me much; my head's no longer In a sling, I do not need a crutch. WALT MASON.

INTO THK SUNLIGHT Oh. cut out the vain repining. cease thinking of dole and doom! Come out where the sun is shining, come out of the cave of gloom! Come out of your bole and borrow a pack age of Joy from me, and say to your secret sorrow, "I've no longer use for thee!" For troubles, which are deluding, are timorous beasts. I say; they stick to the gent who's brood lng. and flee from the gent who's gay. The gateways of Eldorados are open, all o'er the earth; come out of the House of Shadows, and dwell in the House of Mirth. From Boston to far Bobcaygeon the ban ners of gladness float; oh, grief Is a rank contagion, and mirth is the an tldote. And most of our woes would perlBh, or leave us, on sable wings. if only we didn't cherish and coddle the blame fool things. Long since would your woes have scampered cin REO THE FIFTH I Kco the fifth attained its distinction by being a better built ear than most makers think necessary. Care and caution are carried to extremes. Materials are bought under specifications, determined by twenty years of experience. The steel is all made to formula. The gears are tested in a crushing ma chine to stand 75,000 pounds per tooth. The springs are tested in a machine which subjects them to thousands of bendings. Each driving part must stand the tests of 50 per oent over-capaeity. builder Axes this as a margin of safety in the cars be makes. The Kco the Fifth, 1914 model is an honest and enduring ear. This honesty and endurance is most apparent in the hidden parts in the steel, the bear ing, the gears and the forging, 100 drop forgings are used in the construc tion of Itco the Fifth. The accessibility of the various parts of the engine is a feature of Re'o the Fifth, that is worthy of consideration. This feature is one that will save hours of time in making engine adjustments. A centrifugal pump gives a positive circulation and iueures proper eool- ing. The brakes of Reo the Fifth are extra efficient for safety's sake. They are the double acting, wrapping type. Both are operated by foot pedals so there are no brake levers in the way of the driver. Roo the Fifth is electrically lighted throughout. The design of the body is in accord with the latest mode. It is low-lung and racy. It has the gondola back. The upholstering is deep aod soft. Ye 'will not find a handsomer car than the 1914 Reo the Fiftb.
