The Berry Par Excellence.

After the wild strawberry has been
held up as the strawberry par excel
lence for generations, the New York
Independent comes along and says 1t
is all myth. 1t Is pure Imagination,
the article says, that wild strawber-
ries were or are sweeter than the
cultivated sort
That assertion may pass unnoticed
by the man who has lived all his life
on paved streets. But ask the man
who, as boy, went out in the early
days of summer to the fields or road
side hunting for wild strawberries.
Wild Strawberries What memories
they recall. Was there ever straw
berry, dollhouse or truck garden va
riety, that could compare in sweetness
CT flavor to the strawberry of the
countryside and field? Granting that
old-time memories are faulty, ask the
country boy of today. The verdict of
the Independent is reversed on appeal
tc the great American tribunal of boy
hood. Nothing can dim the fame of
the wild strawberry. 1t Is still the
berry par excellence.-Kansas City

Opening the letter box on the door
she took out dozen or so envelopes.
One set she inspected crsFcally-they
were all in feminine handwriting
and then rather unwiliingly laid them
aside. The others she tore briskly
open, each received a keen, shrewd
look. They were filed or thrown away.
Little and whimsical and odd, Flo
dies appearance had something of the
humor OF puppy, the sad wisdom of
monkey. The combination made her
face pathetic. Crinkly, colorless hair
and hazel eyes had Flodie. Her fine,
regular teeth were her best asset. and
when she smiled, her main relief from
plainness. From her costume, which
was careless, to her gestures. which
were queer, Flodie Fisher was an orig
inal. She had charm and magnetism.
Whether she made one laugh or weep,
eccentric little Flodie was distinctly
lovable.

The Student and the World.

Commencement time, and its output
of graduates with their diplomas, is
still the object of much good-natured
fun, but it Is most encouraging time
for the world. The inclination of the
graduates to take themselves and the
world seriously is hopeful sign of
success. More than ever before sue
cess in life depends on the possession
of trained mind qualified to intelli-
gently direct effort. System is the
ruling element in all lines of CONNER
cial or Industrial activity, and the
graduate of today Is grounded In sys-
tenn above all things. The thinker is
the dominating factor of life, In all
its qualifications. The advantage of
a well-rounded educational training Is
that its possessor may adjust the
practical to the sentimental, and be
better enabled to derive from life its
highest and best pleasures. The
world welcomes the graduate as an
added asset, and will give to each an
opportunity In tn, race for which
preparation has been made.-Omaha

CONCERNING MAN WHO LOVED
He Showed Affection for Everybody
and Everything Except NeIghbor
on Party Telephone Line.

There was once man who tried to
love his neighbors. He began with
those next door and succeeded in low
Ing them very satisfactorily, although
one of them kept chickens and the 9TH
err one was rivalsand perhaps supe-
rior gardener. From these concrete
examples he proceeded to demonstrate
his ability to love the abstract var
riety of neighbors which includes ev-
erybody and everything. He not only
loved his neighbors' chickens, but he
loved his neighbors' garden-even the
arrogant tomatoes that bloomed and
flourished there while those in his own
garden pinned away. He loved the Ice
man and the light and gas and water
men and he would have loved the man
who cleaned the streets If he had been
certain of his existence
He loved the gentleman across the
street who tinkered with his motor
car all day Sunday, and he loved the
woodpecker that hammered the water
spout outside his bedroom window at
five o'clock each morning He loved
the neighbors children, although they
pulled his pansies, and he pretended
that he loved the beetles that fed on
the hearts of his rosebuds. He loved
hot weather and cold weather, and ex-
pressed a peculiar affection for the
weather man.
All these he loved, and many more,
but there was one neighbor that he
could not love. 1t was the neighbor
who was said to be on the same party
telephone line with him. 1t is doubt
full If anybody has ever succeeded in
loving that elusive, ever-present some
body who seems to live on his party
line. 1t has long been a matter of re-
greet that one half of the world did not
know how the other half lived. BY
means of the party line we have found
out all about it, and very unprofita-
BILE piece of knowledge it has been.
We know too much about the neigh
Dor on our party line, and he knows
too much about us.
This man might have succeeded in
loving his neighbor on his telephone

saulting each other with unexpected
and irritable "helloes," and with vehe-
ment requests from each to the other
to "get off the line" When he called
up his wife in the morning his neigh
boris wife answered him, and when
he tumbled down the stairs to answer
his telephone in the night the neigh
Dor sent him back to bed Inundated
And then his wife and the neighbor's
wife met at luncheon where the lat
ter induced the former to listen to a
weary recital Of the telephone habits
of the felix's on their party line" Of
course there was no chance after that.
1t seems that it cannot be done The
party telephone lines connect us too
closely with our neighbors to permit
us to love each other.

BuenOS Aires is 1dlrly hard TO

from the Argentine capital. We
crossed a divide II, 900 feet high
and plain 600 miles wide to enjoy
the sensation of arriving in this well
known Paris of South America, and it
was just about as exhilarating as
crossing Iowa and Illinois to reach
Chicago In fact its western suburbs
are not unlike Chicago's. There are
fewer tall buildings, and each dinky
little stucco house is set apart from its
neighbors by a wall. but when the
short twilight of Wednesday evening
had faded and we had recovered from
the excitement of having a Bleriot and
Wright pass overhead into the sun
set, we saw the lights of real city
ahead, and the station we anticipated
might just as well have been the Chi
cago & Northwestern instead of the
Buenos Aires Pacific.
