Failing OptimisticalIy.

John D. Rockefeller, an incurable
optimist, will take in good part the
Supreme Courts decision against
Standard Oil" said Cleveland neigh
Dor of the great millionaire.
Mr.. Rockefeller he resumed, is
very proud of his optimism. 1 have
often heard him, indeed, liken him
self in optimism to the man who fell
from the tower of a skyscraper.
This man was an optimist whom
nothing could dishearten. He worked
in a skyscraper's twenty-eighth story,
and one afternoon while admiring the
glorious view he lost his balance and
fell from the window
Loud cries of horror from the
street below at once filled the Win
dows of every floor of the skyscrapcr
with agonized spectators. To these
horror-struck people the optimist, as
he dropped swiftly past story after
story, shouted in CHEEKY tones:
All right so far
And, by joye, his optimism was
justified" concluded the Cleveland
man; for he alighted, quite uninjur-
ed on a mountain of excelsior piled in
the court"

The Home Coming.

They say that John Nicholas Baffel,
the poet, went away from home at a
tender age and for a while wrote home
glowing letters about his prospects.
The letters finally ceased. One cold
evening when the snow was piling up
in the main street of Seneca, H., the
elder Beffel sat down to supper and
looked dolefully at the vacant chair.
But beneath his plate he found this
note:
Dear Dad-Please meet me at the
old bridge at midnight, and bring a
blanket or a suit of clothes. l have a

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information of Importance to Eyerv

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some
knowledge of physiology and the care
OF the body, particularly those parts
that do the most work and should al
ways be kept strong and healthy.
In an Interview with prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys
as they control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do tremend-
GUS amount of work in removing the
poisons and waste matter from the
system by filtering the blood.
During the winter months yespeci-
ally, when we live an indor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby Fore
ing the kidneys to do more work than
Nature intended. Evidence of kid
'ney trouble, such as lame back, in
ability to hold urine, smarting or
burning, brick dusk or sediment, sal
law complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak and Irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more ser-
ious trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most heal
ing influence. An ideal herbal COM
pound that has had remarkable sue
cess as a kidney remedy is DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root.

him the impression that America
was overcrowded.
What the heavy movement toward
Canada means in one way at least
is emphasized by the fact that gold
has been flowing out of this country
into Canada recently at the rate Of
about 100000 per day. The OBJ
vious surface reason for this heavy
gold movement to the northern
country is found in the fact that in
terest rates in Canada are much
higher than they are in the United
States.
. But why are interest rates higher
in Canada? Partly because the
heavy influx of sturdy and thrifty
Americans has ushered in upon Can
ada a period of unexampled develop
ment and expansion, and at time,
too, when in the equally rich
country south of Tie Canadian line
there exists a period of hating and
timidity.
Mr.. Hambro, because of his per-
sonal and pecuniary interests in
Canada, is a reliable witness, an
American familiar with the oppor-
tunities on this side of the line will
not wonder at the surprise and
amazement expressed by him at the
heavy movement toward Canada.
"Why are your people locking into
Canada?" he asked with the char
acteristic bluntness of his country.
Not because Canada is richer
than this country, though Canada
is a country of marvellous wealth !;
but, for one reason it is because we
are not administering the affairs OF
our country as we ought to admins
ter them; our laws are too cumber-
some, and we have too many laws;
our courts are slow; our Legislators
are meddlesome and unripe; our
land policies are foolish and burden
some; our government is extrava-
CANT and inefficient, and spends too
much of it's time in placing barriers
b. tween the individual and the op-
portunity.
These are some of the reasons why
Americans have been flocking to
Canada, and the movement toward
the northern country will probably
continue until we groupe our way
to saner and more progressive paths

The RUNAWAY BOY.

Writing of the runaway boy from
the point of view of an Investigator
Of youthful vagrancy, Mrs. Solen-
berger, in recent number of the
Survey, expresses the belief that
'the spirit of restlessness and long
ing for change which seems to be
common to almost all youth in their
'teens" was responsible for most of
the cases with which she dealt in
the course of four years con-
nection with the Chicago Bureau OF
Charities. She points out that
spring is the most appealing sea-
son to the boy, and that trifling
causes, as they seem to adults, may
then start many on the runaway
course.
This causes the Chicago Record
Herald to remark:
"The difficulty of returning the
boy to his home, after he has found
what obstacles are in the way OF
his making fame and fortune in the
city, is largely due to his pride
Mrs. solengerger says. He feels
that he has to prove to the folks
at home that he has done what he
set out to do. Family manners may
be responsible for his stubborn re-
fusal to go back-the thought OF
how he will be twitted and gibbed
So he goes on blindly struggling
against conditions that sometimes
though rarely, permit him to win
His very pride is a fine quality if
only it can be rightly directed.
EVERY man with memory OF
boyhood's feelings probably will
agree with Mrs. Solenberger's state
ment as to the cause of runaway
cases. "Wanderlust' is character
istic of the youth of the Individual
human being as it was character
of the race in early stages. The
lesson to be drawn from studies of
the runaway boy is that little can
be done for him under the present
conditions by society. Whatever can
be done, however, ought to be done
and parents must do the rest"
