MATRIMONY AND LONGEVITY.

The ancient minstrel joke as to
why married men live longer than
bachelors, and the reply that it only
seems longer, was conceived in a
spirit of fun; but it is now scientific
ally asserted that matrimony is con-
Gucive to longevity. A certain learned
professor has calculated that the NOR
tally among bachelors from the age
of 80 to As years is 81 per cent, while
among married men of the same age
it is 10 per cent. For forty-one bach
elOrs who attain the age of 40 years
there are seventy-eight married men
who reach the same age. The differ
ence is still more striking IN persons
of advanced age. At so years there
remain but twenty-five bachelors for
forty-eight married men. At 70, elev-
en- bachelors for twenty-seven mar
ried men, and at 80, three bachelors
for nine married men.-Kansas City

SLY STAB AT BULL FIGHTS.

A dispatch from Spain says that a
deathblow has been struck at ouil-
fighting in that country by the actio i
of the Institute of Social Reform in
rstifying an absolute prohibition of
the fights on Sunday. That Spain
would soona abandon this anachronis-
tic form off sarbarity has been evident
for some cme, but that the reform
should be effected on the ground thai
the contests are a dissertation of Sun
day is certainly surprising, tina fea-
tire of the situation being the one
which Spaniards, despite their piety-
seemed little likely to note and still
less likely to hold important. One can
see however, that the prohibition ri
Sunday fights was shrewdly devised
since it involves no criticism of bull.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING
THIS YOUNG WOMAN APPEALED IN

When Hope had Almost Settled Into Ute,
Despair Relief Came from an
Unexpected Source.

Mrs. Emma Heidebreder, of No. 1928
Joy street, Burlington, Iowa, whose hus-

LIVE AND LET LIVE.

Many men are inclined to complain
that the world doesn't treat them
right. and that they don't get much
out of life, is a Vest Pocket conf
dence in the Four-Track News. Stop!
Turn the problem t'other end to. Ask
yourself how you are treating the
world; how much you are doing for
yourself? The average man gets out
iof life all he deserves-all he puts in,
with good interest added. Life is a
game of give and get, of live and let
live" He who does nothing for the
world deserves nothing from it-and
generally gets it. There are excep-
tions to all rules; the game of des-
erts is not always just and impartial,
but the rule holds good nevertheless,
and ninety and nine times out of
every hundred the man who uses fate
as target should take a few shots
at himself.

CATS GREAT WALKING FEAT.
1t Tramped Eishty-Five Miles to Re-
Gain Its Home.

What is probably another record
has been created, this time by a cat,
which has walked from London to
Overslade, near Rugby, a distance of
eighty-fve miles, says the London
Mail.
"Jummy,' as the tramp is called,
belongs to Mrs. Mark Robinson of 9
Belsize grove, Hampstead, and is just
an ordinary medium-sized black cat.
Although z years old, "Jummy" had
never before displayed any marked
nomadic tendency, it's previous ram
blings having always been confined tic
the neighborhood of its home.
About the beginning of June Mr..
Robinson brought the cat to Hamp-
stead from Overslade, and it was at
once apparent that "Jummy," like the
Rev. Mr.. Spalding, didn't like London.
The climax came when some furniture
was moved into the house. This was
too much, and jimmy took his de-
parture.
Nothing more was heard of it until
about a fortnight ago, when news
came from Overslade that jimmy
had returned, it's coat a trif1e rough,
its limbs trif1e thinner, but jimmy
nevertheless.
AS the cat was brought to London
in closed basket it's achievement in
walking back is really remarkable.
'Jummy" has a rival in the walking
craze for a cat belonging to a friend
of Mr.. Robinson walked from Rugby
to bennington and was seen wander
ing about the empty house there
which it's owner had left. 1t has since
returned to Rugby, having taken three
months for the double journey.

NEW THINGS AT COUNTY FAIRS.


What on earth would our great
grandfathers have said if someone
had told them the er-z<-y fair would
be the all-embracing holy show" it

high diving were accounted regulation
features of these gatherings it was
natural that the homely things which

even twenty-five years ago some bold
farmer had dared suggest that the
day would come when automobiles,
vehicles not dependent upon live stock
for their means of locomotion would
constitute the chief attraction at the
county's rallying place he would have
been declared a traitor to his calling.
Still that is just what has come to
pass in Connecticut, where an auto

OF HABITUAL
CRIMINALS.

The test of the habitual criminal
is the lack of response to reformative
influences. The beginner in crime,
whatever his temperament or his ap-
parent hardness of heart, is entitled
to at least one opportunity to show
whether he is thus amenable to re-
formatory influences or not. If not
and he persists in criminal action, the
interest of society would seem to de-
mand the indeterminate sentence, and
he must be made to understand that,
having forfeited. his chance to shape
his own career, he belongs to the
state, and that whether his impris-
onment lasts for a shorter or longer
period depends upon himself.-New
York Times.

TRAINING IN USE OF MONEY.

Training in responsibility and judg-
ment in the use of money is within the
reach of every family, even the poor
est. I have never seen children so
poor as not to have spending money.
To be given the responsibility for the
spending, saving and giving away of
this money, in increasing amounts,
according to the age of the boy, and
the circumstances of the family, is
one of the most educative of expert
ences.-Prof. w. L. Hervey, in Chau-
tauQuan.

WHY MEN HUNT AND FISH.

The swiftest transatlantic business
trip on record was that of an agent
of the Hamburg-American steamship
line, who reached New York on Tues
day after an absence of exactly twelve
days from his office. He went over on

to see boarded the steamer at Plym-

AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT.
Salesman Had Broad Definition Of the
Word "VoIuntary."

Word "VoIuntary."
Some men don't always understand
what another means by the language
he uses,' said William f. King of the
Merchants association the other day
in talking of the difficulties that sales
men sometimes have to contend with.
Now there is one of our statesmen
whom overheard the other day boast
ing that a Western buyer, who is cele-
brated wherever statesmen congregate
as a hard man to do business with,
had come into the store voluntarily
and bought a large bill of goods. AS
soon as the other man had gone I
asked our man if he really meant that
the buyer had come in voluntarily.
"'Sure he did, was the reply I got.
"'How do you account for it?' I
asked.
"'Oh. WE'LL said the salesman, it's
simple enough. The day he arrived
in town 1 sent him a special delivery
letter at his hotel, and followed it up
in the afternoon with call at which
I showed him couple of samples. The
next day l met him as he was going
to lunch, and blew MIN of to the best
meal he ever ate. That night I took
him to the theater, and the next morn
ing met him at his hotel before break
fast. Of course / never let a chance
slip to talk up our goods, and this
morning he just walked into the store
and bought the biggest bill we ever
got out of him.
Well" said Mr.. King, that was
what the man called coming in vol
unfairly, and he meant it. OF course
he didn't have to hit him over the
head with a club and drag him in.
