PHILOSOPHY OF MAIN CHANCE
Lonely Bachelor Realizes Mistake IN
Not Welcoming Both Joy and
Sorrow Into fiis Life.

read story in a current magazins
today. And after read certain
part>of it I laid the magazine down,
and I too, looked far away. But
looked past the printed page into a
damp, dimly lighted trolley car--anta
into the heart of my friend who feared
to grasp vision, Margaret e. Sang
ster writes in the Christian Herald.
In the story wealthy old bachelor
was telling his reason for never hay
ing married.
II began to WONDER" he said,
whether there was any advantage In
marrying at all. 1 saw a lot of peo-
pie who were wretchedly unhappy to-
gether, and even more wretched after
they had dissolved their matrimonial
ties. / discovered that marriage usu-
ally meant children. anxiety, sickness
and death. / took counsel of my fears.
Why fall In love and marry If by doing
so was going to expose myself to the
arrows of outrageous fortune? My
parents were both dead. Sorrow
couldn't touch me. Why invite unhap-
piness? If had no family I should
have only myself to look out for-tO
worry about-and when died nobody
would suffer agonies Of bereavement
on my account. So / shut myself up
in my shell and built an iron wall
around my affections to keep out sor-
row.
II was a fool! What wouldn't I
give now to have had sorrow! Many's
the time I've envied my friend with
dead child. Pain and JOY 60 hand
in hand. Deaden your capacity for
one and you lose the other. Today I'd
rather have had year or so with a
woman had loved and have lost her
than to be what ana lonely, child
less, wifeless, friendless old man."
I read the paragraph ;, over. And
then took it to man KNOW call
him sometimes. to myself, the philoso-
pher.
II think" he told me, "that the
reasoning is quite right
There's an old proverb that COW
ers the whole thing. I think. "Tis
better to have loved and lost than
never to have loved at allp The word
love isn't the only one that will fit
into that proverb. You can put live
in place Of love, or known or 'felti'

Dispensing a Crowd.

II have just come back from forty
eight hours duty in Paris" writes an
officer In q Highland regiment. "My
servant and !, both in the kilt, were
buying some stuff outside a shop, as
,ne does In Paris, when crowd Of
about twenty people gathered round,
and simply stared--some amused, some
open-mouthed, and some doubtless in
admiration. I was amused at first,
but 1t got bit too much Of good
thing, and my servant, who is wag,
said: Shall hand round the hat,
sirT
So, not thinking he would, I said !:
Yes, do and-if he didn't whip off his
Balmoral and take 1t round perfectly
seriously, with a childlike expression
on his face. They cleared off all

ing very sheepish. But we got moth

Interesting Experiment.

Experiments just completed by two
French scientists have re0pened the
controversy whether rudimentary man.
ifestations Of life can be produced in
inorganic matter. These men took a
glass tube containing solution of col
loidal silica, sealed it by melting the
glass and subjected tube and contents
to a high temperature, long enough to
sterilize them thoroughly, according
to all current ideas of sterilization.
The tube was then kept moderately
warm for two months, and when
opened the contents were full of living
bacteria. Directors contend that the
colloidal silica probably operates to
protect bacteria originally in the So
tuition from the effects Of the heat

LIVING IN CITIES
Residents Are Not as NeighborIy
as in Country.
Life In Metropolitan Municipalities Is
q Battle for Existence, With No
Z Time for Sociability.


"Who, then, is my neighbor?" the
man ''in the city pent" asks himself
as he regards a row of similar house
fronts and reflects on the fact that he
has only nodding acquaintance al
best with the majority of the inmates
Interdependence Is fostered by the
conditions of living in the country
Ordinarily we do not need the help
of the next house, near or far. But
let fire come, or destructive storm, OF
a predatory visitor, or serious i'll.
ness, and the neighbor may be as wei.
come as angels, says writer in Phila.
delphia Ledger.
City life Is often battle of the
strong, because there are crowds and
there are many mouths to feed and
many shuffling feet 10 be shod. If we
let ourselves think of 1t, the vast null
titude Of identities striving to establish
themselves is almost terrifying. Where
did so many people come from? Where
are they all going? How are they to
find lodging for the night? Each
of the moving swarm Is the center OF
a circle Of friends. The humblest, un-
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that
bind him to earth and make life-in q
degree-dear to him.
Out of the pagan wilderness to the
urban lights and roarings comes bu-
collie youth. What will the city do to
that unsophistication? Or in what
way will its rugged, innocent power
In time come to prevail upon the cityi
Your shrewdest, hardest captain of
business closes his eyes at his desk
and is taken back to murmurous water
brooks and bees, to the aroma of hay,
of kline, of burning leaves, to the
sound of the whetted scythe or the
sight Of baked apples in the window of
the woodshed.
) Why can't they brown flapjacks or
bake beans or concoct apple sauce or
cook oatmeal as they did down on the
farm?
The table was always big enough
for the unexpected guest. An egg or a
quart of milk was no such great event
as it Is in a city. There used to be
time, too, to settle the affairs Of the
borough and the nation, to discuss
Horace Greeley and to wind the clock,
between supper and early bedtime.
We have filtration, and the vacuum
cleaner, and the servant question, and
all the other city advantages. But it
was something to know the neighbors,
and somehow or other "the men that
were boys when I was boy" mean
something In lifetime that the brisk,
ambitious, clean-shaven, up-pushing
generation does not convey. 1t would
do these take-it-or-leave-it fellows good
to study the large, leisurely, tranquil
izing ways of their forebears in the
days when 'civilization" was not on a
tear from the cheap lunch to the bar
gain counter, and home was not a way
station betwixt the joyride and the
moving pictures.

History Of Paraguay.

Paraguay has q rich history. As
cuncion, the capital Of Paraguay. is
the oldest city on the Atlantic slope
of South America. But even more Sig
nificant than this, Ascuncion was the
colony of the new world to defy the
doings Of its foreign masters and
elect it's own governor. Here for the
first time burned the fires Of liberty
on American soil, and here for the
first time was poured out precious
blood for the establishment Of those
principles for which SO many have
since died and which we all hold so
dear. Twenty-Five years before the
Plymouth brethren landed at Ply
mouth Rock, the little colony in Par
aguay had elected one Of its own ma
tive-born Americans as governor, and
had forced the king Of Spain to rec
ognize his authority and give him the
royal support. GgEs

] FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

An egg-laying strain cannot be pro-
duced by inbreeding. In order for a
hen to be good producer, Tom Bar
ron writes, she must be.in good health
and full of vfgor. Use q male that was
bred fromsa hen that laid 200 eggs OF
more in year. Breed for high aver
ages instead Of exceptionally high in
dividuals. A good layer usually stands
high in front and her back is not on
a. level, or the rear higher than the
front. The best producers usually
have large combs, high tail, and a
prominent, large, bright eye. Prefer
the wedge shape, rather narrow in
front but wide behind, and wide be-
tween the legs. A hen inclined to be
squirrel-tailed is the best layer.
Not always the largest hen is the
best layer; generally the smallest one
The heavy laying hens are those
with white legs.
A tight-feathered bird is a better
layer than loose-feathered one.
A hen that does not lay well In win
ter should not be used.
AS rule, the first pullets Of a brood
to begin laying make the best layers,
and the first cockerels to crow usual
" make the best breeders for egg pro-
duction. 49,

their remarkable national vitality more
