SIMPLE LIFE-WHAT is TIT

: Suppose some of the advocates of
the simple life tell us exactly what
a simple life means. Surely thing
SO exploited must have a definite
meaning.
A woman writes to the Independent
to say, 81 live the simple life. I eat
nice fruit for breakfast, and a glass
of milk with two eggs beaten into it"
Mrs. John Jacob Astor tells a re-
porter, 81 have three nurses for my
son. He is in the open air most of the
time, and his garments are always
thoroughly sterilized. I believe in
bringing up children to the simple
life."
Hetty Green's idea of a simple life
is living, "In a small room just off
the buffers pantry. The room is heat
ed by an oil stove" A man near
Joplin writes, 81 live the simple life
by walking ten miles each day and
eating bacon and eggs for breakfast"
Thoreau declared that to live the
simple life one must live in a one
room hut in the middle of forest,
and spend eleven cents a week for
food. Roosevelt lives the simple life
by hunting deer and taking a cold
plunge before breakfast.

THE AUTO AND THE SABBATH.
with home

Do you ever go motoring on the
Sabbath? Have you read of the mis-
cry and suffering that this habit is
causing in Kansas? Are you willing
to help stop this traffic?
The Methodist ministers of our
neighboring state are demanding that
Sunday motoring be put in the same
class as Sunday baseball, rowing and
other sports. This means that it be
eradicated by law. They claim that
it breaks the holiness of the Sabbath
and instead of remembering the Sab
bath day to keep it holy" they re-
member the Sabbath day to ride
through it.
1t is a fact that the old town is
not what it used to be. Your neigh
Dor is not at home. He does not ask
you to call or to eat good Sunday
dinner with him. The porch is unat-
tended, the lawn smiles in vain, the
hammock knows no attendent, and
all is deserted.
The theater, hotel, ice cream par
lor and other public places are de-
serted. The piano is not tinkling to
the edification of all the neighbors.
Everything is quiet. Even the boy
who is the terror of the neighborhood
is missed.
Good luck to our Kansas brethren.
They have undertaken a big job as
they doubtless know. The sooner
they stop it, the better the man that
has no car will be satisfied.

We prosaic people are prone to
think that man might meet a girl,
court her, marry her, live with her
while, though the sun shine oc-
casionally, or there be a drizzling
rain. This could never be so with
the ideal lovers in the popular novel.
They meet, walk, love, cry, dance,
marry, eat sandwiches and die, all in

MOONLIGHT IN THE NOVEL.

No self respecting novelist would
think of trying to lead two people
to the Inevitable orange blossoms and
first class passage to sunny France,
without the aid of the mellow beams.
They take rowing trips on the CLASSY
lake by moonlight. They take end
less rides in racing automobiles over
the moonlit country. They walk end
less miles down dewey lanes by
moonlight.
Besides these invaluable requisites
to courtship, they do hundreds of mi
nor things, such as dancing, singing
or picnicing all in the moonlight. We
wonder that there is no sun, no day,
no clouds, no rain, in this loveland of
everlasting moonshine.
When we have finished the novel,
we are appalled, at the part the moon
plays in the mating of mortals. We
grow cold when we think what the
future of the human race might be,

NEW ZEALAND.

Inc wellington, New Zealano,
Evening Post is celebrating its fif-
tieth anniversary this year. Starting
in the smallest kind of a way as a
daily paper February s, 1866, its
growth into a modern metropolitan
journal typifies the growth of New
Zealand and particularly its capital
city. The Posts jubilee number, with
one section devoted to the past con-
ditions and life of the islands, con-
dition which many of us probably
think of as still existing to a degree
and another section showing the de-
velopment that has taken place and
giving a full up-to-the-minute ac-
count of world news, gives by the
contrast an excellent idea of what
New Zealand really is.
The people are proud of the fact
that they have sent 10000 troops to
fight for Great Britain, and regard it
as part payment for the 10000 troops
which the mother country sent to the
islands fifty years ago to hold them
for civilization. Then the savages
had to be fought off, and an almost
equal task was the enforcement of
law and order among the monde
script gold-crazed population. Since
then when New Zealand was iso-
lated, was without railroads, tele-
graphic communication or scarcely
any conveniences, when the daily pa
per's telegraph news" came at long
intervals by packet ships, there have
grown up cities and prosperous
farms, business and commercial en-
terprises of all kinds. The two is
lands, a sixth larger than Great Brit
ain, with their 100000 population
have become part of that world
which the Post characterizes as "a
huge sensitive organism, with mar
vellous nervous system of electric
lines"
The stories which the Post re-
prints from its early files are Curl
ously interesting. The arrival of a
barber was one of the most important
events of the day, and he was
heralded to the community in this
way:
Among the number of all classes,
tinkers, tailors, soldiers, apotheca-
ries, ploughboys, and we are afraid
We must add thieves Judging from
the late burglaries), who are flock
ing from other provinces into this
one, We notice with pleasure the ar
rival of a member of another and
very necessary trade-Mr. w. Taylor,
a well-known hair dresser and per-
fumer from Nelson. Mr.. Taylor sat
at the feet of Professor Browne in
Fenchurch-street, London, and hav-
ing passed his novitiate has come to
open hairdressing and shampooing-
room in this city. In bidding him
welcome our best wish is that he may
find none of us Nazarenes."
And month later he appears in
print by announcing that she will in
a few days enable our citizens to en-
joy the luxuries of the warm bath"
When a stage line was started the
Post pictures the furious pace of the
day by this account of the first run:
Smack went the whip, round went |
the wheels, and Wellingtonians |
stared as If the world had gone mad;
but the trial trip met with no mis-
hap, the excursionists returning to
town safely and in good time for |
dinner"
