WOULD YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
OXERg

The query in the headline is probably
as old as adult mankind. No doubt
Adam asked himself the same ques-
ton, and his descendants have been
repeating it to themselves ever since.
Nevertheless, it is one of those ques-
tions that are ever new, no matter how
old they may be; and each individual
must answer it for himself or herself.
There is probably not a person who,
If he or she were permitted to turn
back the hands of time, retaining for
guidance the knowledge and experience
of past life, but would choose to live
his or her life over. In every life there
are hundreds, even thousands of de-
tails that one would wish to manage
differently. There are errors that
would be avoided, weaknesses that
would be conquered, temptations that
would be resisted and cast aside Many
things that were done would be left
undone, and many others that were I'M
done would receive prompt and careful
attention. 1t is so easy to see mistakes
after they have been made, and so
hard to see them before they are made
The wish to live ones life over again
in order that it might be made better
may be called a natural one. The mind
of mankind naturally desires the best,
and has an ideal to which it would
reach. There is no individual who, if
permitted to make fresh start with a
fni1 Rnnuia6Ua m ia VitfalIc btIt
would avoid them and thus pass into
a second existence of virtue and
wealth. But all that is beside the ques-
ton, which is. Would you live your
life over again? That means, would
you be willing to go over again pre-
cisely the same ground without a sin
gle detail being changed? Would you
care to undergo the same old struggles,
trials, privations. sufferings, disap-
pointments in order to enjoy what of
happiness life has held for you? There
are a great many persons who would
unhesitatingly answer mo" to that
proposition.
Fortunately, human nature is so con-
stituted that mankind lives in the pres
ent and the future. There are few
who live in the past" If this were
not true, the life of the average person
would be burdened with sorrows too
heavy to be borne and it would be a
sad, sad world. But the passing of
time brings forgetfulness and the
promises of the future beget hope and
cheerfulness. That which is behind
cannot be helped, but we can all hope
for better things in the future. Each
normal person, therefore, will probably
say, IF l were, to live my life over
again precisely as before, what would
it profit me more than the life I am
now living? l should suffer much for
a little pleasure. 1t were better to look
to more happiness in the future" A
philosophical view of the matter was
taken by an Australian poet of the
name of Gordon, who wrote:
I've had my share of troubles and I've
done my share of toll.
And life is short-the longest life a
span;
1 care not now to tarry for the corn or
for the oil,
Or for the wine that maketh glad the
heart of man;
For gifts misspent and good undone
and resolutions vain
IT'S somewhat late to trouble-this I
know;
1 should live the same life over if I
had to live again
And the chances are go where most

THE LITTLE FOLKS NOT WANTED.

There are several reasons why many
cumstances who reside in cities do not
want children. A strong one is the
difficulty which people having children
experience in getting either houses or
apartments. Landlords do not want
to rent to families which have child
rem, particularly those which have
four or five or more. In New York
families with children cannot rent
apartments in many of the better class
of apartment houses. The first ques-
tion that is asked an applicant is
whether there are children in the
family. and if the answer is in the at
firmative, negotiations are broken off
at once. In other apartment houses
a much higher rent is asked for famf-
lies which have children than of those
which have none.
So great has this evil become in
Chicago that a resolution has been In
troduced into the City Council which
reads as follows. Landlords refusing
to rent apartments because of the num-
Der of children in the family of ap-
plicant shall be fined $780,"
This question of homes for families
with children is intimately connected
with that of race suicide. In the face
of growing difficulties which families
with children experience in renting
houses and apartments the feeling
against large families is bound to In
crease.
In the great cities the movement is
towards apartment houses in which
there are restaurants. This is because
of the servant girl problem. And the
opposition OF landlords Of apartment
houses 20 renting TO families with
children is greater than that OF land
lords having houses to rent. The rea-
son is that children make a vast deal
OF noise. and they are always in the
elevators or In the Railways. II IL
but natural they should be noisy and
generally 10 evidence. They are healthy
and full Of life. They must be active.

Too Precious.

A village clergyman, says the
Youths Companion, has this choice bit
among his annals: One day he was
summoned in haste by Mrs. Johnston
who had been taken suddenly Ill. he
went in some wonder. because she was
not of his parish, and was known TO
be devoted to her own minister, the
Rev. Mr.. Hopkins. While he was wait

sick woman, he beguiled the time py
talking with her daughter.

The young lady looked unfeignedly
shocked.

PREPARING FOR A STRUGGLE.


1t is evident that Mr. Bryan is get
ting ready to make the fight of his
life to control the Democratic Nation
al Convention. And the reason he
wants TO control it is that he may
have the Kansas City platform re-af-
firmed. He is going about the work in
a systematic manner. He is advising
the formation Of clubs of those who
favor standing by that platform, so
as to be in a position to select dele
gates to the national convention. He
uses very plain words in speaking of
those Democrats who are not in SYM
pathy with him. In the last number
of his paper, The Commoner, he says:
1T is the duty of every Democrat who
believes that the control of the party
should not be surrendered to the hands
of men who would destroy it's princi-
pies and corrupt it's methods to en-
gage promptly in the work of organi-
cation"
1t is evident from this that Mr.. Bry-
an has no love for those who failed to
give him hearty support in 1896 and
1900 That he hates them there is no
doubt, and that he is going to defeat
them if he can, even at the risk of
forcing the factions of the party fur
Their apart seems to be evident.
Mr. Henry Watterson thinks that
Mr.. Bryan has no ground for feeling
that he has a grievance. In Fridays
issue of the Courier-Journal he ex-
| presses the opinion that Mr.. Bryan has
been more fortunate in the matter of
gathering wealth and fame than al
most any other one of his fellow citi-
zens, and that instead of making trou-
bic in the party he ought to be trying
to harmonic the factions. Along this
line Mr.. Watterson says:
Mr.. Bryan, we fear, will never quite
| get over 1895. More's the PITY because
If he could. there might ultimately be
/ the making of great man in him. IL

! ans case, there is no reason why he
should be. The presidential orbit into

A notable case of cure of blindness
is reported from Morristown, n. J. A
painter of that town had been totally
blind for more than two years. Sever
al specialists treated him without Civ
ing him the slightest relief. AT length
he fell into the hands of another spe-
cialist who uses what he calls "a mod
flied form of the Lorenz method of
bloodless surgery" After being treat
ed for some weeks by this method, the
mans sight was fully restored. Prof.
Lorenz operates by kneeding the mus
cles and tendons until they become
pliable. then placing the member
kneeded in a plaster cast in the posi-
ton he desires it to assume when the
torn tissues shall have been healed.
Heroic massage for eye diseases seems
to be something decidedly out of the
ordinary.

were kept closely confined 10 their

But how is the problem of providing

On trains running between New York
and Chicago in a schedule time of
less than twenty-eight hours an ex-
cess fare of several dollars is charged.
Thus it costs about IS more to ride
between the two cities on one of the
twenty-hour flyers than it does to ride
on one of the regular twenty-eight
hour trains. While this is true, it is
charged that sleeping cars from
Buffalo and st. Louis are attached to
the high speed trains without their oc-
cupants being charged extra fare.
Chicago declares that this is a dis
elimination against her and a vio-
lation of the Elkins law, and some
of her business men have made COM
plants to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. They hold that if any
body is charged extra fare, everybody
ought to be so charged, and that
Chicago passengers should not be
mulcted for extra fares while st.
Louis and Buffalo passengers are not.

Kansas OIL.

The oil craze seems to have struck
Kansas In earnest. Everywhere pros.
pectors are at work, coming from
eastern states for more promising
fields. 1t is intensified by the signs OF
exhaustion In Ohio and the increasing
price on the Kansas output. The
Standard Oil Co. is directing its at
tentiun to the Kansas fields and a
large number Of operators may be eX-
pected IN u short time. Here is what

1ARkEr OF WESTERN KANSAS.
Phililpsbnrg Surging Ahead OF Neigh
boring Towns. Grain Brought
Here from Other Good Towns.

The present season seems to be q
record breaker for Philllpsburg as re
spects amount of grain being marketed
here. The best railroad facilities oil
any town In northwestern Kansas
two good elevators besides the one
connected with the mill, and the
prices to which this competition leads
! have made the town the best grain
market In this part of Kansas.
During the past week the daily re.
ceiptS Of grain (wheat) have run from
fifty to one hundred loads. Much OF
this was shipped at once but some had
to be stored. SO far this week the re
ceipts seem to be as large as last week.
An accurate estimate of grain received
shows that about 10000 bushels came
in as reported by the different buyers
or this the mill reports 5000 bushels,
or more, the depot elevator, 5000
bushels and the farmers elevator
about $500. Only part Of this was
Phillips county grain. Muchof 1t came
from Rocks county and some of 1t even
frJm the streets Of Stockton, KIrwin,
Marvin, Logan and other towns along
the south road are unable to care for
the grain consequently 1t all comes
here where, 1t can be bought, paid
for and shipped or stored as the case
may demand.
While the wheat is moving at this
rate but little attention is paid to live
stock. Only one car Of hogs was ship
ped out from here, by Polling and a
car Of cattle last week by Champlin.
A few private cars may have been
sent out. Poultry, however, has moved
quite rapidly and commands good
price.
All Of this grain coming from coun-
try not generally considered tributary
to Phillipsb9rg, has doomed trade
with our general merchants as well as
with grain Dealers Those who have
thus had the occasion to become &C.
quainted with our business men will
not regret It for they will In the end
be The gamer by 1t.
