WHY PEOPLE LIVE IN CITIES
Subject Discussed in a Way That May
Please or Not, According to
Ones Disposition.

In the American Magazine, Bruce
Barton says, in talking about his old
home town;
"Rou&Scau once remarked that he
had never lived in Paris, except for
one definite reaSon-tO get money
enough to live somewhere else. There
are times when | nave had similar
feeling toward New York. Times when
the stress and strain and fretting Of
the job grew Wearisome; when my
cylinders all are full of carbon, and
my valves give forth leaky sound;
when the white lights are only an i'm
pertineuce, and the noise of mOtOrmen
tramping on their bells is madness in
my ears.
"When that time comes. as every
spring it does, I 60 home, and, speak
ing with my wife privately, l say: My
dear, why linger we longer In world
like this? We are but strangers here at
best; FoXborO is our home. And we
fill up the cold coffee bottle and place
the ham sandwich in the bag, nesting
it tenderly beside the fishing tackle.
and HE us to land that is better and
purer and sweeter; where the straight
and narrow way takes the place of the
way called Broad, and there Is no
white light but the evening STAR"

"Then why didn't someone telephone
