About all of them were country boys

"Twenty Acres Enough" is because
there is not that much land in this
place. | have observed that most men
think the world should be regulated by
their own regulating machines and
measured by their measuring sticks.
There are more sour grape philos.
ophers i'll this world than is generally
admitted. 4 whole lot of people are
proud of what they haven't got. That
is on Il par with folks putting on airs
over having had what they didn't
want. The most conspicuous case of
this OH record was an exclusive social
set composed of those who had sur
vived smallpox. And how those folks
did look down ON the poor unfortu-
mates who had not been thus distin-
guished! They even shifted ut vari.
oloid victims. 1t was like II boy who
IS proud of Il stone bruiSe. There was
no wild rush of outsiders, however,
who sought to make themselves eligi-
bic to membership in the smallpox
club.

that book after all. Instead [ propose
to become author of work entitled
"One's Own Affairs Enough" 1t is
none of my business whether the other
fellow owns twelve acres or twelve
thousand.
This farming proposition is fine. Out
here a man can not only eat his
own vegetables, but think his own
thoughts. Moreover, he is master of
his own time, having no boss except
his wife. The only thorn in the flesh
is the New York Central railroad.
That is too modern and citified for
strictly rural effect, besides being too
noisy for high thinking. 1t is as
though his Satanic majesty should
disturb paradise by making Il frequent
noise like shOyc.ing coal.
This is not much of Il farming sec
ton, but has plenty of scenery and
history. Every morning | can hear
the drums and guns at West Point,
where the shoulder strap blossoms
and they raise crops Of men for the
harvest of war, Within sight three

The Object Of Life.

What is the object Of life? 'Uappi-
hess" says one. Love" signs anoth-
er. ITO do good" beams third. "To
gain wealth." pants 4 fourth. "To
achieve fame shouts Il fifth ''To
find heaven" brcathes a last Each
Of these is good when rightly under
stood, and each has its place. But
there is one thing more. 1t is to grow,
to expand, to climb, to overcome-in 4
word, evolution. God sows his image
in each of us, ana we grow and evolve
until this comes TO flower and fruit III
the individual character. This is the
object of life. 1t runs through all ma
sure. 1t animates the universe. 1t is
the divine law That which does not
progress dies. There is no happiness
greater than thar of conscious improve
mcnt and unfoldment, than that Of be-
coming stronger, wiser and better
This is the lesson taught us by the
growing and blossoming world.

Polly entered with a flourish, turned
toward Bradley, who followed with
his hastily assumed old man manner,
and held out her arms to him appeal

she pleaded.
Bradley gave his reluctant paternal
consent, and Polly threw her arms
about his neck affectionately.
"You dear" she half sighed, half
whispered.
