Bufying dogs aud other animals with
the dead was ttll the rage in the early
| history of the race
For many centuries Lo. the poor
indian, kept the custom Of his 'ances-
tors by going to his happy hunting
ground along with his favoritp t1og ana
gun
Back east our Aryan ancestors were
much more savage in their burial q,
Centricitips- Even up TO recent time
It was the custom In India to pile ii
pyFe. put the dead body on top of the
poor wives and set fire to the mass.
In the interior Of Africa they do #
differently. They dig a trench, put
into it the body Of the big chief and
then kill selected number of hl~
wives and bury them with him
Poor human race. 1t has been slow
in getting away from savagery
Looking backward we can see how
far we have come by the way of prog
ress.
Note another incident: Not long ago
a meteor fell near El Paso, Tex, and
exploded. starting a forest fire.
What happened2 Why the people
merely set to work to put out the for.
est fire, and that was all of it. except
some of the fragments were picked up
and sent to the college museums.
Suppose such a thing had occurred
500 years ago? The inhabitants would
have been on their knees expecting the
end of the world They would have
acted like some of our ignorant who
dreaded the coming of Halley's comet
A few superstitious ones still regard
the phenomena of the universe as mi
raeulous. but the great mass of the
people know better. We have been
educated far away from our ancestors.
But poor Mrs. Mogg is simply what
they call ''reversion to type" De-
string TO do something for the dead
she loved. the idea of her savage ances
tors popped into her head, and she
thought to cheer the poor ghost of her
husband with the company of the |
faithful dog

asglums more nearly crazy than Mrs |

BoYs WILL BE BOYS.

Little Sammy Elster of New York
ran away from home. A search was
made by the police, the newspapers
printed the story, and the mother wept
for her boy.
Nothing new?
No; small boys run away from home
every little while.
| In Sammy's case there was a rea-
son--he wanted his hair cut like pas.
His mother compelled him to wear
long hair and dressed him in little
Lord Fauntleroy" style. Not being
that sort of boy. he revolted and ran
away.
Probably he has returned ere this,
following sundry adventures. II so.
| you may be certain the curls have dis
appeared.
He was doubtless received after the
time honored custom of receiving prod
igal sons.
And his mother knows more
There are many ways by which you
can make miserable the life of real
boy.
One of them, which is to treat him
as If he were baby is the refinement
of cruelty.
To dress up a manly little kid in
manner markedly different from that
of his fellows and turn him loose
among them Is to subject the poor boy
to mereiless persecution.

A youngster has hard enough time
in the republic Of BoyvilIe TO adapt
himself to democratic treatment with
out suffering the handicap put upon
him by the fad OF bond and foolish
mother.
And the boy who will willingly sub
nit to be fused over and made to pose
as young aristoerat probably has
something the matter with him.
Better see the doctor.
OR if he submits unwil1ingly and
has in him the making of a man take
him down to the corner and leave him
with a few active hustlers of his own
size and age.
He viii probably come back whipped |
and crying. but demanding that he be
dressed like other boys Put plain togs |
on him and turn him loose again.
He may come back from the corner |
whipped. but not crying. He viii take
his punishment like a man
Boys viii be boys, not babies.
When Sammy protests that he wants
his hair cut short. better send him to
the barber shop

type of bathing suit without the

is the only kind. but the powers that

HATRED Is WEAKNESS.

Hatred is a costly luxury. Few Of
us can afford to indulge it.
Without taking into account the
moral side of it the indulgence of al

mendous amount of vitality. physical
and mental.
If you are busily employed in max.

man. 1t will take all your time aud
energy to perform your legitimate task
Some persons will vent their spleen
so vici0usly as to make themselves
really i'll.
Hatred is weakness.
1t seldom Injuries the person against
whom the hatred is directed except
where there is resort to violence.
But the hater woefully Injuries him.

Hatred is force in which action
and reaction are not equal. The re-
action is manifold. The recoil is the
worst part of the explosion.
If you hate a man he has very great
ly the advantage of you, especially if
he Is Indifferent to your hatred He
has the power to make you miserable
by his very presence. He is able to
wound you at every turn
Ii you want to turn over to your en-
envy the key to your life's happiness,
hate him.
Moreover. why should you hate
mortal man or woman? You may not
like one personally or you may not
like his ways. But why fly into rage
about it2
Indifference is the better altitude.
Let your enemy go bis way and you
go yours, or if you cannot be indiffer-

THE MIDDLE AGED WOMAN.
She Is Coming to the Fore as a DAN
gsrous Rival to TIE Young Girl

Fr''Efa% HE day of the very young wo
mau is without doubt passing
by. The pOS=pSSor Of u pref
ty face without wrinElr4 is
not admired for that HIuup. she must
have clevernCss, wit. intuition AMI a
certain fascination which. alas. srpm9
only t. como after the first blush Of
the woman we'll on toward middle a~n
who has sense enough to preserve a
youthful exterior will not lack admir-
ers
Indeed a few wrinkles are not in
the way. No less an authority than
David BeIasco says they show tntelIi-
gence, sympathy ana forethought ana
that they are the signs Of nobility. In
deed. BeascO in n recent article en-
cOuraged the middle aged woman to
go on the stage. stating there was
need for her and that never before
was there SO much opportunity in
plays for the woman no longer in her
frst youth.
And this is tendency in the right
direction. The bright, capable woman
grows more bright and more capable
with every year Of her life. Shall she
be shelved because her hair Is no
longer golden or her cheeks no longer
pink and youthfully curved? The mid
die aged woman. be she single or mar
ried, has charm all her own, and this
charm she should keep alive and cult
Vate by every means in her power, just
as she takes care of her health and
keeps her mind bright and progressive.
Indeed, the middle aged woman at
her best proves a dangerous rival to
the young girl The latter without
knowledge of the world without ex-
perience to draw on, falls socially
fiat compared with the brilliant wo-
man who has studied life and who
though less pink and white, proves in
fnttely more interesting.
