Colonel James NJ. Guffey of Pitts
burg. whose recent financial difficulties
caused sensation in business circles,
is one Of the best known oil and coal
operators In the country and million
aire many times over. Mr.. Guffey is
said to be the largest holder Of West
Virginia coal lands, his unsold holdings
In that state being 136,700 acres. This
property Is said to be worth at least
100000, containing about 100000
tons of coal.
Early in life the colonel, who began
as very poor boy, took hand in
Pennsylvania politics, and for many
years has been acknowledged as the
leader of Democracy in his state His
pocketbook was always open In both
state and national causes Of Democ-
racy.
Seeming a natural leader he came
into national prominence in 1897, when
he was elected Democratic national
committeeman from Pennsylvania, re-
placing William F. Harrity. Guffey
entered the political game as Bryan
man, which made his quarrel with the
Nebraskan three years ago all the
more spectacular.
It was two years ago at the Denver
national convention that Guffey was
practically +read from the Democratic
party by Bryan, who had James Kerr
made national committeeman In Cuff
fey's place. Kerr died soon after his
election, and Colonel Guffey was again
made a member Of the national COM
mittee by his Democratic constituency
in Pennsylvania. position which he
yet holds.

munities, it is true. In too many
places each family is content to live
by itself, with as little intercourse as
possible with the neighbors. 1t is
such communities that contribute most
largely to the downward flow of popu-
lation. With the general waking up of
the farming districts is coming a
broadening Of social life. In some
places the local church Is the social
center, but too often there are some
members who consider so harmless a
thing as an ice cream supper to help
pay the preacher a sin. AS a result
the Importance Of the church as so
cial factor is not what 1t should be.
The most important centers of social
life in the country are farmers organ

the most important of these, because

communities where it has obtained a
strong hold it is very effective in bring
ing the people together. In the older
states a grange neighborhood can be
told by the looks Of the farms and
buildings.
The plan of the local grange is to
hold meetings at regular intervals,
usually once week in the winter and
sometimes as infrequently as once a
month in the summer. Generally these
meetings are held at the home Of one

Custom house stories are always
interesting. The hero of this one,
a Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basic from South America, tax
ing with him some skulls dis
covered in ancient Patagonian bury

duty at the rate of a penny pound.
The missionary protested, and it
was presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they must be allowed to enter with
out payment.
The only question was how to
classify them for the purposes of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, but ultimately the skulls
went through as personal effects

Jules Verne's Romance.

The story of Jules Verne's court
ship and marriage is most roman
tic one. Verne was shy young fell
low who had a great dislike to the
society of women, and it was only
his affection for his brother which
led him to go to the latter's we'd
ding. Verne, however, arrived too
late and found that the whole bridal
party had left for the church with
the exception of the brides sister,
a charming young widow, who ex-
planned the matter. The friendship
thus accidentally begun rapidly de-
yeloped into warmer feeling and
ended in a marriage which may be
described as ideal.

A HINDU LEGEND.
How the First Man and the First Wo-
man Lost the Garden Of Eden.

Brahma made up his mind to
make the world and a man and wo-
man. He made the world, and he
made the man and then the wo-
man and put them on the island Of
Ceylon. According to the account
it was the most beautiful island
which man can conceive-such
birds, such songs, such flowers and
such verdure! And the branches of
trees were so arranged that when
the wind swept through them every
tree was a thousand aeolian harps.
Brahma when he put them there
said, "Let them have a period of
courtship, for it is my desire and
will that true love should forever
precede marriage"
Then they had their courtship,
with the nightingale singing and
the stars shining and the flowers
blooming, and they fell in love.
Imagine that courtship-no pro-
spective fathers or mothers in law,
no prying and gossiping of neigh
bors, nobody to say, young man,
how do you expect to support her %
Nothing Of that kind. They were
married by the supreme Brahma,
and he said to them: Remain here.
You must never leave this island
Well, after a little while the man
said, 81 believe I'll look about lit
tle."
He went to the northern extremi-
ty of the island, where there was d
little narrow neck Of land connect
ing it with the mainland, and the
devil, who is always playing pranks
with us, produced a mirage, and
when he looked over to the main
land such hills and wales, such dells
and dales, such mountains crowned
with snow, such cataracts clad il
bows of glory, did he see there thai

V. Social Life In the
Country.
BY C. ". GREGORY.

copyright, 1910. by American Press Asso-
~AHE social life and amusements
of the country are essentially
different from those in the
city. / have heard people say
that there is no such thing as social
life in the country, but inquiry dis
closed the fact that they never had
spent much time in a modern, wide
awake farm community. The founda-
ton of all social life is in the home. It
is in the country that the home is de
veloped to the highest extent. and it
necessarily follows that it is in the
country that the strongest basis for
healthy social life exists.
The social life Of the so called .'soci-
ETY." people of the city does not exist
in the country. and it Is blessing to
the country that it does not. Such a
social life is unnatural Social life is
primarily for amusement, recreation
and development Where is the amuse-
ment or the recreation in the struggle
for social recognition by clique
whom turn of the wheel of fortune
has brought uppermost? Where is the
development unless it be the develop
ment of heartaches on the part of the
wife and poverty on the part of the
husband3 Such society, where peo-
pie are measured by their money rath-
er than by their true worth, is snob-
berry rather than social life
Outside the society" circles the so-
cial life Of the city consists largely Of
Coney Island and its imi-
tators, theaters and public dances.
Some of these things are all right in
their way. They furnish amusement
and recreation. But they do not fur
nish development.
Here is where the great advantage
of country social life comes In. 1t is
not furnished ready made to those who
have the price. Social diversions in
the country are made to order. That
is the reason why some people do not
like them. and that is why a person
who once really gets into the spirit of
country social life is never afterward
satisfied with social affairs In which
be cannot have an active part.
The social possibilities of the country
are not taken advantage Of in all COM

to New York during a very warm
