REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.1
Pleasure is largely brainless activity.
No matter how quick a girl can fall
in love she can do it oftener.
It's always a comfort to a woman to
know how good her husband would be
to her If he appreciated her.
There's hardly anything more dan
gerous to a man than for a girl to get
engaged to him with the intention of
marrying him.
One of the disappointing things
about raising a son is he will have to
have the same bad luck going through
the same thing with his.

Speaking to 81 boys at the annual in
spection day at Burnham Industrial
farm, in Canaan, N. Y. Joseph H.
Choate, of New York, said he hoped the
head master had a good knee over
which a hayward boy might be turned.
''I believe" said Mr.. Choate, "a good
mans knee has been the turning point
in many a boys life in the past through
his troublesome age. There is a grand
opportunity offered the boy of today,
better than the boy of 40 or so years
ago, simply because the world is grow

the world at large is looking for honest,
manly boys ready and willing to do
honest work. '-Lenox (Mass.) dispatch

KAMsAS COMAENT
THE COST OF A VACATION.

This is the season when the peren-
NAL discussion of the usefulness OF
vacation is at it's height. There are
always plenty of people to argue pro
and con this moot question. but it is
noticeable that most people who can
always take annual outings. There
are two kinds of persons who do not
take vacations-those who can
afford them and those who can but
think they can't. 1t is usually among
the latter that the advocates of the
theory that vacations are unnecessary
are usually found. They hold to the
the taking of an annual outing and
excuse their failure to go on vacation
by the argument that no good comes
of such outings any way. They de-
turned from a trip to Colorado or
some other popular summer resort an
tired out as an example OF the use
lessness Of vacations.
1t is, of course, possible Tor man
to SO mis-spend his outing as TO de-
rive more harm than good from 1t:
but that does not argue the lack OF
merit of vacation period. 1t oniy
shows the lack of wisdom OF that par
ticular person, and mere physical
wearinHss is not necessarily indicative
of the failure of the vacation any
way. A man who came back from
two weeks stay in Colorado the other
day said, ST didn't get to rest any ex-
cept the last two or three days; I
was too busy taking in the sights.
But feel lots better more ike work;
more like getting out and hustling.
That man may have Overcome the
'ssight seeing a bit, but even at that
he was benefited. The change OF
occupation, even though 1t was
strenuous, did good. That sort OF rest
Outlines is more beneficial than mere
quietude.
There are persons so constituted
perhaps that a vacation will do them
no good. They are so wrapped up IN
their business that they worry. re
fuse to allow their minds to dwell on
other things. It is mental more tnan
physical rest they need and they re-
fuse to take it. Their bodies are TAX
ing an outing while their minus are
still back home busy with business az,
fairs. No vacation could be benehcial
to nersons SO constituted. But 70 the
