Cities No Place
For Old People.

From which l came to say that
the cities are not much Of a place
for old people or people who die.
They should find a softer and
simpler life and quieter place in
which to enact the last great trag-
edy of life, which is death.
l would like to live in a great
city all my vigorous life.
But I would like to grow old and
die in the little country town
where the neighbors would come to
ask after me in the last days, fol-
low me kindly to the churchyard
when l was gone, and come back
for a little tender touch of COM
fort to those who were left behind
Is it not well now and then to
halt this mad rush of living and
give space to a little breathing
time of charity and tenderness for
those who die?

My Neighbor
And His End.

In one of the large apartment
houses in which l have lived on
the West Side, in New York, my
front door when 1t swung open
touched the front door OF my next
door neighbor, divided from me
only by thin wall of less than
half foot.
One morning on going out l met
a pleasant faced man emerging
from this door, We exchanged the
casual salutation of housemates.
This we repeated on several subse-
quent occasions, in a casual way.
I never knew his name.
One morning, about six weeks
later, I asked the elevator boy
what had become of the man.
He died two weeks ago." was
the response, "and his body was
taken out after nightfall and car
ried to the cemetery"
Here was this man who by every
law of life and every creed of
Christianity was my neighbor-
my very nearest neighbor I could
almost hear him breathe at night
through the intervening wall.
We Forget Each
Other Too often.
And yet. he had sickened, he had
suffered, he had gone through the
agony or travail of death. He had
been carried out in his midnight
casket to the grave and his fam
lily had come back to the anguish
and desolation of an unspeakable
bereavement

w THEN Henry w. Grady was
wv hesitating whether to re-

or to return to Georgia. he decided
to go home because nobody in the

him in the hour and article of
death, nor comforted the crown
ing sorrow of those who came back
to his broken and desolate home
just within a foot of the light and
love and laughter of my own-be-

I have never gotten over that In
cident. I never will. Something
ought to be done about it. If
something could be done.
We pay a fierce price for the ioy
of cities. Too many people make
any one person unimportant Great
crowds dwarf and minify individ.
uals. In the multitudes we forget
each other too often in life and in
death.
When a man dies among two or
three in a little community, it is
a tragedy. 1t darkens the sky. it
shadows the spirit, it bows the
head in reverence and humility and
sympathy.
But when one dies among five
millions. the little gap made by the
passing Of the atom closes up so
quickly from the mighty mass that
it is difficult to remember that the
atom ever lived or even died.

GLOSIAG RIAN
OF the Merchants Here
Proves the Wisdom 81
the Movement.

SO far the system of closing the
stores here at $50 O'Clock in the
evening has worked with good results.
Merchants find themselves doing just
as much business during shorter
days as when they remained open
until later. in. the evening. There Is
SO much business to DO and It can
be done Just as we'll IN shorter hours.
Clerks appreciate the change and they
are better prepared for service as a
result. The store owners also find
the change to their own personal adj
vantage
Universal observance of the plan
in the city would make 1t stlll stong-
er and better and it is a matter Of
regret that a few merchants fail to
see 1t to their advantage to Join the
movement and observe the hour of
closing strictly. It IS urged BY the
many who are closing their stores
at $3.50 o'clock that business done
from 5 o'clock in the forenoon to
$50 in the afternoon except on spec
ial days iustifes the plan. and It is
deplored that any effort however
slight should be made to break 1t up.
