WE SHORTEN OUR LIVES.
Human Beings Should Live at Least

Every man who dies before he Is a
hundred years old does so because he

TO special lines OF work. Thus they
become wonderfully proficient. To see
a man rafting up long columns OF,
reading matter on linotype machine
Is inspiring. TO hear n lawyer clearly
and inciSively summing up a case fls
one with admiration. TO read n strong.
forceful editorial affords pleasure at
the thoughts so well expressed. TO
watch the violinist and listen TO the
sweet melodies he draws from the
strings watts our souls TO higher
realms yet the requirement OF each
and all these abilities has robbed the
trained or talented performers Of some
thing else. The linotype Is wearing
out his nerves in setting type at such
a rapid pace; the oratory of the law

OF n dyspeptic stomach; the man who
wins us with his facile pen euvies the
strength Of the sturdy laborer shovel

fain have the appetite OF the perform

In thus specializing each Is apt TO

performers or geniuses done his stint

iirardin's Satisfaction and a Winning
Choice of Weapons.
NJ. de Girardin, the father of the

where several men were firing at 4
target \ gentleman present. whom
Nj. de GirardiH did not know, hit the
bullseye ut every shot. Several by
ISLANDERS expressed themselves in very
great admiration of the gentleman's
precision
YES" said De Girardln, che shoots
remarkably well. but it's quite differ
ent thing to hit man in duel from
hitting n piece OF pasteboard."
The marksman overheard the remark
and was offended.
Il think you are mistaken, sir" he
said TO De Girardin. Il assure YOU that
if had you before me shouldn't miss
you"
"You can have me when you like
said De Girardin
Let it be Immediately, then" said
the other.
An attempt was made to patch the
matter up, but neither man would
agree to an amicable settlement The
seconds were chosen, and the men
went to a locality favorable for the
duel. 1t was decided that they should
IRE separately. and II was left to a de-
cision by lot which fired first.
The Tot fell TO the mysterious marks
man. He fired at NJ. de Girardin and
missed him. De Girardin stood still
making no sign as If to fire Mt his an
tagOnist.
Come. why don't you shoot?" asked
his seconds.
why should l shoot?' asked De Gil
rardin. There is no reason why r
should kill this gentleman. I main

contrary. He must now be convinced
