REcLusE IS A PHILOSOPHER

Plain Truths.

There's rich living in garbage"

ing his sanity, reports dispatch from
Santa Barbara. Cal. He has for 20
years lived in . little cave on the
mountainside. between Rincon and
Ventura.
When the officers went out to In
vestigate they found him curled up in
corner Of the cave sleeping the
morning away. The place was lit
tered with tin cans. When aroused
Swift greeted his visitors cordially and
explained to them his mode OF life
and the reason therefor.
Civilization" he said. "is only an.
other evidence Of how slavery can be
lifted up and made possibly more re-
fined outwardly. The man who works
for his living is nothing more or less
than a slave. He is q slave to the
within of his employer, who may dis
charge him just like that" and the
negro snapped his finger.
| II a man has an income today no
may not have one tomorrow. The
consequence is that both the man who
tolls for an employer and the man who
| draws his income are slaves to worry.
neither OF them knowing the peace
and happiness that comes with the
quiet life. Men would live forever II
it were not for worry. That's the
most subtle destroyer the human fam
| lily is prey to. for it leads to all other
ailments whose windup is death.
Here am living contented. No
one can demand rent or taxes. and
find my living In the garbage on the
town dump. many fine morsels being
left in cans and otherwise thrown
away. There's rich living in garbage"
The mans talk was rational. though
strange, and his conduct was quiet
| Therefore, the officers left him to his
lonely life.
There Is . whole lot Of genuine
truth in his philosophy" said the
sheriff. Men die from worry and
what comes In its train. and the race
will die more rapidly - 1t advances
in civilization. for the burden of tar,
alton grows apace."

wonderful way in which this state is
taking hold Of good roads work
Three years ago California appro-
priated $18.09OOOO for good roads.
The various counties each appropri-
ated in addition from $25O.OO0 to 3d.
100000 for the improvement Of coun-
ty roads which are feeders to the main
highways. Los Angeles county has
over 400 miles of improved roads. BY
September one will be able to drive
from Los Angeles to San Francisco by
the coast route and return by the val
ley route over continuous good roads
"a boulevard 1000 miles in length.
The same agitation that brought
California its appropriation for good
roads is now being waged elsewhere
throughout the West. In some places
actual work is In progress. The state
of Utah has passed favorably upon an
improved road that eventually will be-
part Of one all the way from the Vel
lowstone National park to the Grand
canyon OF the Colorado river in Ari-
iona.
In the East New York is working
out its good roads plan and am in
terested in the efforts Illinois is max
ing to improve its roads.

ROAD
BUILDING
GREAT BENEFIT TO FARMERS
Three.Hour Trip to Town Cut Down to
Thirty Minutes by Advent Of

(By l.. j. Ol.LIER.)

(By l.. ]. OLLIER)
The prosperity OF u state depends
largely upon good roads. They mean
cheaper transportation, better living
conditions, and happier homes. Quick
communication ranks as the great fac
tor in the universal dissemination OF
knowledge. Where good roads abound
sectionalism cannot exist
The desire for good roads leading to
u city that those with automobiles
could have a greater pleasurable tour

prominently to the fore as Il good
roads movement with automobile back

| Gradually the farmer, antagonistic
at first. began to take an interest.
With good roads and an automobile
he could cut down the three hour trip
to town to perhaps thirty minutes.
Good roads brought the doctor

were doing these things, that good
roads and automobiles made them pos

roads for their own county
| BY means of the telephone and
quick motor truck delivery the farmer
Is now able to top the market. He
can rush his produce to market at the
right moment to command the best
price. But he could not do 1t were his

power delegated to irresponsible au-
thorities
| While in time every road should be-

thorities who are building roads

another to make continuous highways.
The advantage of this lies in the fact
that the main arteries OF travel will
then first receive the attention Of the

The late Professor Kew. when head
master of large London school, was
one of the most genial gentlemen that
ever filled that position. He was fond
of encouraging fun in his boys, and
was not averse to recounting occa-
sionally during class time, when any
thing prompted it, the manners and
customs of countries he had visited.
On one occasion he was telling his
class about Spain, and said:
do you know, boys, that when a
man attains to eminence there he is
not called sir but is given the title
of DOM"
One of the boys here called out:
Then, l suppose, sir, they would
