the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as it

THE QUIET LIFE IS BEST
Those Who Follow Literature as q
Profession Must Devote Them
selves to Their Art.

In Harper's> Magazine Mr.. Alden dis
cusses the question as to whether a
literary man can attain the highest re-
suits unless he give himself entirely to
his art:
Literature, as a profession, whether
bread winning industry or chosen
avocation, very usefully and worthily
concerns itself with the activities Of the
busy world; but literature as an art de-
mands for its highest excellence the
quiet life," he says. "This is only an
,ther way of saying that it demands de-
votion, and is jealous of any rival: What
ever the native genius of the writer, he
cannot attain supreme distinction in let
tiers and at the same time conduct an i'm
portant business, perform the duties of
an exacting profession, or seriously un-
dertake diplomacy or statesmanship.
He cannot habitually be <diner-out or
the devotee Of pleasure. All his con-
facts with the world at large must be
Incidental to his master purpose.
Gwen his seclusion must be thus incl
dental, not sought for it's own sake, as 1t
is by the recluse. AS the ardent lover is
the better poet, SO the social person Is the
more genial writer, and the full enjoy
ment of domestic happiness and friendly
companionships deepens feeling and i'm
narts home-like warmth to an authors
apparel. More than anyone else the
great writer gains by an impressionable
sensibility, by openness of heart and
mind: but more than anyone else he
loses by active participation in worldly
and social affairs beyond what is re-
! ouired of him by a normal conscience
! anS a generous spirit in full sympathy
/ With his kind" :

spring the blood is loaded with the
effete Accommodations of winter, derang-

bowels and the proper circulation of the

This condition of things produces

The purveyor of headgear again dis

looked at himself in the mirror with
some satisfaction.

His wife trembled.
