PITY NOT CALLED FOR
WRITER POINTS OUT SOME OF
THE JOYS OF THE POOR.
BY No Means the Unfortunate Class
Generally Depicted-simple Feasts
That Leave Lasting impress
sion Of Real Joy.

The happiest people in the world are
the poor. without attempting to stifie
the ambition for self-advancement, re-
ligion has always taught men to be
content with their lot and shown the
folly of relying upon possession as the
key to happiness. writer in Leslie's
observes. Our materiahstic day has
worshiped financial success, and by
hearing this doctrine constantly
preached those who are poor have been
made to feel themselves unfortunate
and condemned to miss the great joys
Of life.
Mrs. Kathleen Norris, author OF
Mother" The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne"
and Saturdays Child" says that too
many writer's have been telling US
about the sorrows of the poor as
though ignorant of the fact that the
poor family is often healthier and hap

ris, who will be aware of the pleas
ures to be derived from good dinner
of corned beef and cabbage and a
visit to a moving picture theater.
Often when l pass row OF mean
houses, as they would be called,
think gratefully of the good times
that have had in just such Places
Who is there who has come up from
a childhood and youth of comparative
poverty who doesn't have the same
memory Of the joys of those days?
The simplest feasts are always the
best, and holidays and outings which
come but seldom are far more to be
priced than that seemingly happier
state when every day is a holiday that
brings feast. Mrs. Norris speaks of
her appreciation of Dickens because
he understood so well the joys Of the
poor. Their life was not one long
story of despair, but he gave them
roast goose and plum pudding for
their Christmas dinner-he gave them
faith and hope and love-"
If more of our modern novelists
would write of the joys of the poor
mans household there would be less
of the spirit of discomfort in the minds
of the people, and OF unreasonable
envy of those who happen to have
more Of this worlds goods and there
would be more of the real spirit of
the holiday season.

Motor Car Acts Like Maude.

An automobile that will run on it's
hind legs" spin about, buck and per-
form generally like the trick horse or
mule of the circus, has been the star
feature of number of race meets
held in widely separated parts of the
country, Popular Science Monthly
states. The car is known as "Maude,
the Motor Mule"
Maude's athletic and adventurous
talents are due to a heavy weight
hung over her tail and to individual
brakes on each rear wheel. The
weight is heavy enough to oyerbalance
the car. It runs easily on little track
projecting over the axle, and is con-
cealed beneath housing. The driver
controls the position of the weight by
means Of lever and is thus able to
make the car buck as he wants it to.
When the car is reared on two
wheels one Of the Independent brakes
may be applied and one OF the wheels
locked, causing the car to spin around
on that wheel The band usually
plays waltz for this and the driver,
Roy Repp, manages to keep in time
with the music.

pasty, muddy compilations we should

son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres

tenn nearly an ounce Of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
