Observing the inconvenience
and sometimes discomiorts of city
life, some Of the brethren of the
country press are taking a shot at
the city dweller and emphasizing
the fortunate position of the citi-
zen who contrives to spend his
life in some quiet town or the
country. The country gentleman
never cares whether the street cars
run or not; he is not concerned
with the electric light plant or the
water supply, having his reliable
kerosene lamps and a good well in
working order for emergency use.
He is not afraid that 100000 Of
his townsmen will run out of coal
at once and freeze to death, be-
cause OF the old grove on the east
forty is capable of furnishing his
fuel should his supply OF five cords
Of sawed and split wood that he
has in his woodshed become de-
pleted. He lives away from man
in the mass, and his small wants
are not pushed and crowded by
the small wants Of hundreds of
thousands OF other people. He
feels that !: there is anything that
he really needs chat he does not
possess, he can 60 out and procure
it any morning without much
trouble and he is generally right
about it.
