BEARING THE WORST.
When storm clouds seem about to

Pete Teter says. "I fear the worst——
I'm banking on disaster. The hall.
like bullets made of lead. upon the
roof will rattle: a thunderbolt Will
strike the shed and kill the mules
and cattle. There’ll' be disaster all
around. I'll lost my old bell wethers,
the ducks and tease will all be
drowned. the hens will lose their
feathers. Poor human nature is ac-
cursed. there’s always woe to fret it:
I never fall to fear the worst. and
seldom fail to get it." And somehow
all the sullen fates seem down on old
Pete Tetter; they send him grief in
sacks and crates, each sorrow's a
repeater. The storms that dodge
the neighbors' shocks on Teeter-3'
farm get busy: and they capslze
unis costly stacks. and knock his
henhouse dizzy. The neighbors Jog
their way to town. their motors run-
ning sweetly, but Tetter's wagon
crumples down and quits the job
completely. His chickens always
