He was young man who had been

Since that event, the man had sue

But even as he strove to calm him

At length he jumped up, glared Wild

There, upon the log on which he
had rested, he found-but refused to
believe he saw--a playing card, a
trey of hearts, face up in the sun

With a gesture Of horror, Alan Law
fed the place.
While the sounds of his flight we're

Well Tempered Living.

The statistics Of insanity show that
the minds of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive of environment, in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally at fault. The figures show
the per capita of insanity differs little
in city and country. Rural solitude
and the abnormal life of the city are
alike responsible for mental diseases.
1t is as bad for man to be too much
alone as it is for him to be surrounded
by perfervid life. The history Of the
race, the inquiries of investigators and
the judgment of specialists in the dis
eases of mind and body tell US that
the well tempered life, void Of ex-
cesses, is the plane upon which men
and women best endure in mental and
bodily health, temperance of thought
and a temperance of action in an en-
vironment in which the individual Is
neither submerged by human society
nor detached from it. Seattle Post.
