CONFESSICNS OF A JELLY-BEAN FIEND The narrator of this article, after finally losing his unequal fight against the horrible craving which could not be satisfied. has set down his experience as a con- fessed jelly-bean fiend during one of his periods when his mind was clear. fBy the writerj To begin with, I was but a modest Senior trying hard to live up to the standards of my class. My craving started in a simple way. I was writing up my history one night when I reached into my pocket and to my horror discovered the beans. As I was having trouble trying to stay awake, I took one, as I knew that they cleared one's mind temporarily. But never did I dream that they would lead me down into the lowest depths of society. To begin with, this little object seemed innocent enough. But little did I know the horrible influence it was to wield over me. It was a black one. They are usually considered the most harmful. I remember my first stimulus from this horrible drug. My mind seemed clear. Thoughts for my notebook came faster than I could write them. The objects in the room seemed to grow dim to me. It was if I were floating through the air from evolu- tion to prohibition. Finally my senses grew dim: the walls seemed to be closing in upon me, destroying my very existence. Somewhere I heard a clock strike one, two, three, and then I remem- bered nothing until the next day. The next day I walked into a store and there, staring me in the face, were the unforgetable beans. I squandered my roll of twenty cents in purchasing some more of these habit forming beans. The second time I took the drug, the results were the same, but I noticed that a craving was growing within me for these. After I had acquired the habit my eyes became starey, and I had a haggard look. My friends were fast deserting me. Oh! How I remember the horror of those sleepless nights and restless days. At night, I remember how every object seemed to be alive-the very chairs and tables. My statue of Waltz stared right through me with its sightless eyes. Every shadow seemed to hide the grim features of the horrible shapes which I beheld. After telling me this, the narrator entered into a period of coma from which it was nearly impossible for me to rouse him. Although I heard him mumble that he wanted this to go out to the members of society so that they would never take the fatal step which he had taken. So ended the confessions of a jelly-bean fiend.
