The Pessimist's Death Bed

The old pessimist lay on his death-bed and his family was gathered round him. He said to them:

"Children, I've lived long, and I've worked hard, and all I ever got for:.it was my victuals and my clothes; and my victuals didn't i\gree with me, and my clothes didn't fit."

One of the chlldren said:

Back From Hollywood

Jim Farley, assistant Western sales manager, The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, returned November 7 from spending a week in Hollywood in connection with the motion ,picture being made there for the'California Redwood Association. He was accompanied by Mrs. Farley.

Asked when the picture will be ready, Mr. Farley said he expected it to be completed in the very near future.

"Father, don't worry any more. Soon you will be enjoying your long, long rest."

And the old man answered:

"Well, if I were certain that were true I wouldn't care. But it will be just my luck, about the time I settle down for a real rest, to have Gabriel start blowing that trumpet."
