years ago, when read Of the man
who said, 'rhc big trees in California
are so high that you have to look
twice TO see 70 the tops Of them,
smiled Mt the humor in what seemed to
be an absurd statement" said Mr.. John
II. Morley Of San Francisco in recent
conversation in the lobby of the Wal
dorf Astoria.
But the fact is continued Mr.. Nor
Icy. "hc told what is the literal truth
In many cases and yet it never dawncd
on ne until today, when took a loot;
at your queer Flatiron building. My
attention was called to ii as | rode
down Broadway. Up went my head.
My eyes caught the fifteenth story.
and actually I had to look the second
time before the cornicc came in sight.
THAT very thing will happen often If
you are near high object and attcm9t
to look at its top. You will often fail
TO strike the proper angle of elevation
when YOU raise your head. and you are
required TO make the second effort. so,
after all these years, have found that
what was intended for a bit Of humor
may he a cold scientific fact. New

fOlnummg pioneers Is rast tuuiug away,
and whyY Ii is largely because the
cities are fast throwing their tired and
retired people among us ana making a
blend Of customs that seems to be
working destruction to the happy com
munion that once existed between
neighb0ls.
The bobsleighs and wagons that used
to stop and take us all to the church,
the lyccum the spelling school or the
town are rarely seen, The city people
bring with them their private rigs ana
sweep past tEeir rural neighbors. sci.
dom pausing TO bid you good day ana
never asking one TO ride,
Life in the city breeds this unlnten-
tional selishness. Their vehicles have
no vacant seats for the unfortunate,
their charities are Kept within the con
fines Of their own family interests,
their advent into society is strictly
formal, and tho old time ruralst who
dares to approach them in the good old
way is termed rude and ignorant
Today an old neishbor came into my
house without knocking and said. Hell
10, Neighbor KeaSey.' lie did not
wait for ne TO get him Il chair, but
chose the one he wanted. He threw
his cap and old bag mittens ON to the
couch, pulled Off his rubber boots,
reached over on the table and helped
himself to an apple, placed his feet on
the stove fender and proceeded to feel
perfectly at home
| love that man and his style be-
cause it allows me to enter his home
in the same good old way | love the
plan because it removes 50 many
doubts and awakes friendship or joins
interests in way that they may bend,
but never break from their stiffness.
| am not blaming the newcomer for
his seeming caution or GOODNESS, be-
cause his manner is the natural result
OF city environment. but do blame my
old neighborS for trying TO pattern aft.
er the unnatural customs of strangers.
Why not adhere to those rules which
we know have linked freedom with
the farm!
The disconsolate citizen leaves the
city for rural freedom. but uncon-
sciously brings bondage with him. and
we, like apes, partake of his stiffness
and lessen our individuality and COW
eted freedom. We must meet the city
stranger with the horny hand Of old
time fellowship and give him to UNI
derStand that he is back where nature
designed him to be- The best and no.
blest Of the land are of the farm, and
their birth and growth We're perfected
through this same life of freedom and
simplicity. H. l.. Keasy in American

In his discussion OF the use Of the so
called split infnltive' in Harpers
Magazine Professor Lounsbury brings
to light the fact that the use of the
proposition "to" with the innnltivc is
itself corruption

strictly to the gerund or, as 1t is some
times called, the dative case Of the in.

or houses to let are genuine repre-
sentatiyes of the original usage. though
the verb has been shorn Of the ending
which once proclaimed It's distinctive
character But with us to was not
ct first pretlxed to the inhnitive prop
or, though there were other early leu
tonic tongues in which such was the
case We still retain traces of the
primitive linguistic virtue we once uni
vcrsally possessed. After certain com

never use to 1t is not the normal

Life In "A snowy Prison at Thirty-Ays

A blizzard on the Siberian desert is
a dreadful thing. The author of in

was anything but celebrating. We
