FAST LIVING

Suicide is a cause of death that is
too frequent. or seventy-fve violent
deaths, selected at random, fcrty-two
were the result Of accident and TWEEN
ty.four were due to suicide Fast liy-
ing is one Of the causes Of suicide.
They have financial troubles, they
keep up too many automobiles, and
perhaps they have eXtravagant wives.
They go into debt, get money under
questionable circumstances and when
they see that the strain is becoming
so great that they will be unable to
face the music, they buy a revolver.
This is the fast life, the pace that
kills.

tative juries.
In many states the lodging ~ idry
duty has become scandal. 1t was
so called during the debate in the
New York constitutional convention
the other day Yet section that
would have checked the evasion Of
jury duty was quickly put to sleep in
that convention
In some courts and states there rs
a tacit understanding by which l1ac-
tically all the leading business and
professional men escape this func.
ton. Through friendship with some
official their name is always kept out
of the panel
Jury service should be rather pleas
ant, if one looked at it Alright. The
juror sees many interesting sides Of
human nature. The bate Of wits
and Of legal principles has its dra-
matte elements The debate arising
over questions Of human conduct
must interest anyone with an alert
mind and human sympathlcs
The excuse is that il takes time
away from business. This shows how
poorly most business men prepare
themselves for the eyigencies of life.
Every man should have his under.
study who could do his work in case
Of his illness, and who could carey
it along while he IS taking needed VI.
cations This would enable a man to
perform this duty to his state.
If every man well qualified for jury
service would stop efforts at this eva
sion, the turn at this necessary func-
ton of good citizenship would come
around but rarely, would be short
when it did come and ought to bur-
den no one.

What Is Meant BY Luck

This is a very common word. Ev-
eryone is familiar with It,. We have
noticed that our grandfathers and our
grandmothers spoke of lucky and NE
lucky days. We have heard our faith
ers and mothers speaking Of good
aud bad luck, when engaged in con
yersation with us around the faniiv
fircside. Our brothers and sisters
made use of it when conversing With
las while we were engaged in our
childish games. When we grew up
and began to intermingle with other
people of the world, we found all
classes of society, both high and low,
using this term. On account Of its
early use in our hearing and also
its universal use among all classes
of society We have adopted It into
our own little vocabularies without
inQuiring into the ideas conveyed by
it, nor it is probable that those did
from whom we heard It. We make
use Of it in the same way that rhey
did and probably as fresuenty too.
For when anything Is undertaken by
anyone; and the result of it sees or
goes beyond our expectation, we al
most invariably find ourselves saying,
He had good luck" if on tho CON
trary it falls short of what we looked
for, we say, ale had bad luck or
when one, of whom we would not ex
pect great deal, undertakes and ac-
complishes something we think is
beyond his ability, we say, at was
more through luck than good sense"
What do we mean by such lauguage;
and what did they mean by It.? The
impression conveyed Is that things
happened thus and so, some Ill, some
well, without any particular cause
The very word luck is OF Itself sug.
gestive of a want of regularity in
the affairs of the world, of want of
belief that worth, merit and charac-
ter play a part in determining The
station of man in life; or that al

indomitable will, figure in the sue.
cessful results of undertakings.
Where the idea of luck came from
Is not known; but grave men tell us
that most of our superstitious notions
have been inherited from the Middle
Ages, where rank ignorance held
sway in the mind. This notion of
luck is certainly superstltious and
may have probably been among the
heritage which was transmitted to
us from that time.
Howeyer or whatever may have
been its origin, We know that it is
among us and that It clings clo3ely
to the minds of some people. They
look upon luck as a something that
does all things among men which
they cannot account for. They re-.
gard 1t as q something to be desired,
a something under whose displeasure
success would be impossible.
Many hard working men, believe
IN luck have started in business with
the hope that luck would favor them
and give them success. They try
one business awhile; and luck does
not seem to be on their side, so
they give 1t up. They engage in
something else and yet the long look.

this woman bore to his life. I hired
a reliable firm of detectives to re.

found the woman had been my hus.

years, had borne him a child, that,
fortunately, died when yet an infant.
Il never mentioned my knowledge
of his life to my husband; II he saw
any change he did not show It, for
he was ever the same to me-a cour-

husband to me, and must admit a
splendid father to my boys.
MY life was one long hell, made
harder to bear since I had no conf.

GLASS DEMAND
IS VERY GREAT
jobbing House Stocks Are the
Lowest They Have Been
for Thirty Years.

PlTTsBURG. Dec. 6.-The Glass
worker says.
II begins 10 look more and more
likely that the present strong demand
for window glass will continue well
up into January If not considerably
longer.
1t Is not reasonable to expect that
the strong buyer for immediate Use
will continue Indefinitely. hut there Is
very good reason why factories
should he kept busy long after such
demand is satisfied. and that is found
in the unparalleled 10wness. of job
hers stocks from end TO end of this
country.
II is said on the best of authority
that never since 1854 have the stocks
of the jobbing houses been allowed to
become so nearly exhausted as they
are now. and there is every reason
TO expect that the jobbers in replenish-
ing their supplies. and in getting full
stocks to meet the early spring de-
mand, will keep the window houses
busy for quite a time after the coming
of the new year.
Tableware and bottle factories are
also benehcially affected, all having
as much, IL not more, than they can do
at present. Orders are rolling in with
every mail. and the most optimistic
reports are heard from all sides.
These are borne out by the hest OF
