ESSENCE OF GOOD TIMES OF OLD
Eiaborateness of Modern Functions
Spells the Fun.

Did you ever think how complicated
good times are nowadays?" asked one
middle-aged man of another RE
member what good times we used to
have without any previous spread or
ceremony? Well, those days were
worth living in. When I watch my
children trying to enjoy themselves
it positively makes me tired. Every
thing is so studied, so elaborate, so
mechanical. Take my daughter Grace
for instance. She receives an invita-
ton to an informal whist party. What
does she do? Does she act pleased
and dance around as her mother would
have done twenty-five years ago? No,
indeed. oh, motheri What shall
wear? If I go I've simply got to get
new gown is what she says, and for
the next week she is breaking her neck
to get the rig ready. The affair comes
off and she comes home and half the
time she says she was bored to death.
The fault isn't with her, for the next
day gang of her friends come in and
by scraps of conversation which drift
to my ears | know they were all
bored. She is about the average type
of girl, and, no use talking, she isn't
having the fun her mother had. If she
is invited to really formal function
it's enough to turn the whole upside
down She doesn't get any real pleas
ure out of it at all, aside from the
excitement either. It's the same with
my son John. But I won't go into de-
tails about John; only, when he even
takes a girl to the theater his pocket
book looks as if an elephant had
stepped on it afterward There's vio-
lets and carriages, and dozen other
fool things, while if it's anything more
pretentious than the theater-well,
my check book suffers. Don't care
about the money if the boy really had
good time, but he doesn't. It's all
right to talk about this being the age
OF the young person, but it's not. We
used to get up simple, impromptu little
affairs, invite a congenial crowd and
no tOmfoolery about it. Even a pic
mic now is a state banquet in compar-

to have. These poor, blase, modern
youngsters may be pushing us old fell
lows to the wall bit with their preco-
cious cleverness, but, oh, my, they are
missing a lot, just the same. Say, do
you remember that little dance at"
But at this point in the conversation
the middle-aged man struck reminis-
cent mood so any more ideas which he
happened to possess on the modern
good times were left unsaid. But
there/is lot in what he did say, now
isn't there? Hartford Times

of this trust viii be to control

is in reality the Armour Beef Trust

plenty of money.
What of the farmer under such con-
ditions? The consumer, the man I'm
the town and in the city, may frown
and pull his hair, like the anthracite
coal consumer but is it not the far
mer's opportunity? The biggest bust
ness done through the country by
wholesale grocers is in meat, corn,
oats, wheat and hay. The information
al trust will increase the price of these
food products, and the farmer who has
to sell will reap the benefit. Such COM
binations of capital will not be for "a
day, so that the farmer is safe in rails

will be safe to plant wheat, SOW oats

Pears belong to the lcguminOus family,
