ing. Col-Reynolds had just returned
from a visit to his brother-in-law,
Mr. Clem Dowd, whose homo is
located in Montgomery county, near
Candor, the peach town- The story
goes somewhat along this line: Sev
eral nights ago tthe herd of cattle
ranging in Mr. Dowd's large pasture
failed to come up, as was the usudl
. custom. Mr. Dowd thought strange
of it but made 110 si>eeial investiga

next day the herd, wabbled up the
'lane and into the bam yard. Mr.
Dowd noticed that they looked
“down in the mouth" apd - ’ seemed
just about "petered out;** Closer fe»-
vrstigation disclosed that one of the
-cows was blind as a bat. However,
the cattle soon recovered from their
apparent drowsiness. A night or two
later, they again failed to come up.
As was the case the time before,
they cume sneaking in late the fol
lowing afternoon.* Mr. Dowd saw
aotlier cow w*» blind and that those
having their little bit of vision left,
“looked like they didn’t give a rap.

herd of cattle, decided the time had

Two Men Who Cannot Help. *
Dearborn Weekly.
Mr. Wiggam says that in the pres
ent world crisis there are two types '•
of men who cennot help very much. *
One is the optimist who believes ;
that you can take a sow's ear and *
make it into a silk purse by deep. =
breathing.
The other type is 'tne pessimist,! f
"tio, confronted with a choice of twoj !
evils, takes them both.
Os the two, however, the pessimist, >
not without advantage. He walks |j
cautiously at least, and with his eyes |
open. He at least asks questions, jj
He may be a pessimist but he is *
an inquiring pessimist. An inquir- I
ing mind is a safer mind to follow j
than a Blind that accepts everything. I
with a gulp and a smile. j ?
The surprises and dnwppouitnients "
in store for the optimist are usually '
very sad. Hut the surprises and dis
appointments of the pessimist are al- i j
ways good and glad.
