Did You Ever Kill Anybody?
 Yankee Blade.

It may seem at first glance that mo- body has any right to hurl such monstrous question at promiscuous public. But however startling the statement may be, about one- half the population is methodically engaged in killing of the other halt. IfDarwin's famous theory of the survival of the fittest is true (and who can doubt it?), the strongest survive and the weakest perish. It is said that ninety per cent. of people who go into business fail. Competition is so strong that only the shrewdest, the most active. and the most vigilant succeed, and under the operation of natural busi- ness laws this small fraction dispos- sesses the other and larger fraction, and occupies the whole field them selves. The little fish are eaten by the big fish, the big fish are eaten by men, and men, speaking metaphorically, are eaten by other men.
 But it is the ways and idiosyncra- sies of individual men and women that kill. A wise philosopher has said that no two persons, unless they are a man and woman violently in love, can live intimately together for ten years without hating each other. And a man often slowly murders his wife by his manners. The unconscious defect of one's character, his little whims and crochets, his pet theories or his dar- ling hobbies, are sometimes the instru- ments of slow torture by which man murders his wife. In precisely sim liar way wife frequently murders her husband. The daily torture of tired nerves finally brings the victim to the grave, just as surely as a daily pinch of strychpine in the coffee pot. There have been thousands of boys who have murdered their mothers without knowing it. Perhaps after all it is not an impertinent question for any man to ask of himself, "Did you ever kill anybody"
