HIS UNHAPPY Time
When Father Pays for Good
Things He Has Had.
Shadows Upon Life Are Not Always
Caused by Financial Affairs
Health Specialist Occasionally
Gets Busy.


Speaking about the influence Of
money on human happiness. and the
fact that the lasting pleasures of life
are totally unassociated with money.
father Is very good example Of the
latter premise, writes Glenn NJ. Far
ley in the Seattle Post-lntelligencer.
Fathers very special health specialist
has forbidden him to smoke his pipe
before midday, and the pleasure Of
life has completely vanished from all
his forenoons. More than that. father
has been prodiglous feeder all his
life. with emphasis at the breakfast
hour. and the $. h. $. has cut Off the
breakfast at one fell stroke, and per-
inltted him to pnrtake Of milk only at
that hour. Hence we have n snd, de-
pressed, peevisli person masqueradlng

noon; then there are large eats and
much scratching OF matches md volu.
mlnOus clouds Of smoke. His morn.
ings are hi, and his afternoons nre
heaven, says father. and one can well
believe him; these clouds and shadows
upon life. one observes. have nothing
belief what little thing can alter
the whole color OF mans life. and cast
him from a condition Of comparative
pleasure into the slough Of despond?
However, these little breaks In the
regular habit Of the individual seem to
be hygienicnily necessary. A man may.
Of course, mistreat himself shamefully,
and stfll cOntrive to be up and around:
but nobody cares to barely drag ont an
existence. Consider how many bales
Of tobacco father must have absorbed
In perhaps forty years Of uninterrupt.
ed pipe pulling! The health sharp
comes along and tells him that he has
enough surplus nicotine in his system
to start tobacco factory. And be-
sides this there are about the same

what is the matter with him!

FINDS WIFE MARRIED,
GOES BACK TO ALASKA
Husband Who Deserted Family
Comes Back With Fortune
After Ten Years.

Joseph L. Link. 3 twentieth century
Enoch Arden, has left Minneapolis to
return to the wilds Of Alaska.
And, like the Philip Ray and Anne
lee imm0rtalized by Tennyson, Mrs.
Minnie Link Walters and Julius Wal
ters will continue their journey down
the road If life together.
Ten wears ago Joseph Link was a
street commissioner IN Minneapolis. Mr..
and Mrs Link-who now IS Mrs. wal
tcrs-had seven sons and two daughters.
MIR. and Mrs. Julius Walters were
close friends. Then, on November ,, 1911,
Joseph Link disappeared.
For three years-ycaIs that were as
centuries 10 the carcworn woman strug--
Cling TO earn a living for herself and
her family-the disappearance was
mystery. In July, 1914, q body was
found beside railroad track near But

were on a coat. The body was ldentl-
fed by Mrs. Link as that Of her hus-
band
The body was buried in the Link
family lot. Insurance money, $1,000,
was collected from the Minneapolis
Yeomen's Lodge.
Then came the war, and the unmar-
ried members Of the Link family left
TO stand by the colers. In the mean
time Mrs. Walters had died, and Mr..
Walters asked Mrs. Link to give up
her life OF drudeery and become has

was seventy.

PEACE MOVE WAITS
AS SENATORS BALK
Mild Reservationists an the lr-
reconcilables Oppose Knox
Plan of Ending War.

washington, March %. Congres-
s;onal action, intended to bring about
state of peace between the United States
and Germany, was further deferred yes
terday when Senator Lodge decided not 4.
ask the Senate to act this week on the
Knox resolution to terminate the war
MIR. Lodge gave two reasons. One was
the absence of many Senators, making
II almost impossible to get quorum TO
transact even routine business. lhe
other was his desire to reach an agree
ment with House leaders on the form Of
a resolution which both branches could
adopt with a minimum of debate.
The Knox resolution probably would
have TO be materially amended before 1t
could pass the Senate, it was sad yester-
dav. Mild reservation Republicans, and
irreconcilables as well, object to the doe
laration of policy which the resolution
contains. This policy Is set forth to be
the settlement of disputes between the
United States and other nations by ar
bitration, and the resolution provides
for application of the principle to the
world through the formation OF world
tribunal to settle international contro-
versles.
The mild rescrvatiOnists said that they
would oppose this provision on the
States to a plan of maintaining world
peace which might preclude later adop--
ton of the covenant of the League OF
Nations The answer was made to the
mild reservationists by supporters OF the
resolution that the Senate adopted the
exact language of the Knox resolution
in this regard in 1916, when it wrote INTO
the Naval Appropriation bill direction
to the President to call an International
conference for the purpose of organizing
world tribunal for settlement OF dis
putes.
G'he Republican irreconciiables object
ed to the provision on the general ground
that they do not want the United States
in making peace to commit itself to any
permanent policy in the formation OF
which the Senate does not have an I'M
portant part.
Mr.. Lodge was confident, however,
that it would be possible to frame the
resolution 50 that it would accomplish
all that was necessary and not antago-
nize any OF the Republicans, either IN
the House or Senate. He intends 70
confer this week with members Of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee on the
form of the resolution.
