A MAN is AS OLD AS HIS HOPE.

You can't live hope, of course. But neither you
live without it.
The surest sign of growing old is the fading of hope.
The best indication that IA still has youth and
future the tenacy with which he cngs to his hope.
You smile at the rainbow chaser but he is far
likely to get something worth while out of life than the cync
the pesSimst
You cant catch street without wanting to
catch it, and you will catch the rim of happiness
without hope.
Don't be afraid o hope And don't be afraid hope
high and hard.
Make your hopes great enough and if you realize rs
cent of them will finish far ahead of neghbor
The doughboys who o hoping home
Colones Generals didn't all achieve their ambition But
lot of them back Leutenan ald still more back
with d. S. C.s and Croi& de Queries.
Those who went to despondently back,
of them, but they back privates and opportunity
which they never hoped for, passed them by.
Youth which all want to hold long they
feeds hope
A distinguished lawyer, seventy-four years old tor
day in Europe doing important work for his country.
He will succeed because though his physical strength
waned, his hope burns as high
You will have trials and discouragements black
hours( but hope will carry you through them Cling
and you will live and die with youthful heart them
up ald desoaon will cloud your years detpair
will accompany you to your grave.

= ll.BlATT was a handy man AZ
visionary, who lived on thu
Isle OF Guernsey. His one aim
and yearning in life was to marry
pretty Durechette, niece Of the islands
chief financier, Lethierry.
Once. in momont Of careless
whim. Deruchette scrawled Gilliafts
name in the snow. Gilliatt from that
moment never ceased to worship her.
Yet he was poor and she was rich.
And there seemed no possible chance
Of his winning her He and she had
never so much as spoken to each
other.
LethierTy's chief means Of wealth
was his steamship. Durande, whose
engines he himself had designed.
Once the Durande's skipper. Clubin.
was returning from commercial
voyage when the Durande went to
pieces on the channel reefs.
Clubin was drowned. And with
him was lost fortune Of $4,000
francs which he was carrying home
ward to Lethierry.
In rage at the loss OF money and
ship, Lethierry swore he would give
Deruchotte's hand in marriage to
any man who could rescue the Du-
rande's precious engines fBom the
wreck.
Eagerly Gilliatt volunteered for tie
Job. He had no cash and no men
and no equipment for such a task.
But it offered a chance to marry
Deruchette. And no vowed to
achieve II.
Sailing in his little sloop to the
rocks whence the Durande had been
sunk, he located the submerged ship
and set TO work salvaging her en-
gines. One man alone. against the
fury Of wind and weather. he began
his mighty task. Yet obstacle after
obstacle was overcome by him.
Spurred on by his adoring love for
Deruchette, he labored tirelessly.
Once he-all but lost his life in battle
with a giant devil fish. More than
once he was in peril of death from
other causes. But he fought on, for
Deruchette was his goal.
In the course of his work he found
a skeleton in sea cave. II was Gu
| bins skeleton. In the belt around
the body was the $4,000 franc for
tune Clubin had been carrying home
to Lethierry.
G!!liatt saved the engines. He piled
them into his sloop and sailed TO
| Let hierry's dock with them. In his
| pocket was the recovered fortune
besides. He had won his right TO
| Deruchette's hand.
AS Gilliatt was striding triumph
antly toward the house to make his
report he CHANGED TO see girl
standing in the garden. 1t was
| Deruchette.
With her was a young man. Gilliatt
| heard the couples ardent love words
and saw them embrace. Then. no
! longer jubilant, he passed slowly on
TO Lethierrys house.
Lethierry was wildly happy at the
return OF his engines and his money.
Loudly he declared that he would
keep his share OF the bargain. Deru-
chette should marry Gilliatt at once.
Curtly Gilliatt refused 10 marry
her. He would give no reason for
| his refusal. But on the day OF her
marriage TO the man she loved he
watched the happy couple sail away
to their new home. Then he
drowned himself.

THE NEW UNDERWORLD"

TT is fact that market gardeners within trucking
! distance Of the city are forced to sell produce at
rate so low as to be improbable. II Is fast that
at times they find no market whatever and are
orted eithet to cart their produce home or dump It
as waste,
At the same time high prices prevail in retail mar
kets. Cost of summer food is prohibitive, Families
needing this heala-givng change of diet must con-
tnue TO rely on staples to which they are accustomed
al other seasons.
Somewhere between the grower and the con-
smer the speculator and the profteer have inter
vsned Spectators, playing no part in production
and profiteerng because they have schemed their
way into control of some step in the process of dis
trfbution are taking an uneamed toll. They are
playing both ends for the profit Of the middleman.
Commissioner of Public Markets O'Malley
charges that this process is worked in secret agree
ment, in cahootS with the railroad interests, with
merchants and bankers of unquestioned financial
standing"
Mr.. O'Malley describes this organization as the
sunderworId of food SPECTATORS" II is new and
effective use of an old term This underworld"
Mr. O'Malley describes is as much menace to the
public as the more familiar underworld" against
which the police contend
Mr.. O'Malley makes these observations in a report
supporting his terminal market project. If he has
definite knowledge of such conditions and It seems
reasonable to believe he has, why does he not present
them to the proper authorities in the endeavor to get
prosecution? The City, the State and the United
States are all interested parties. Surely some pros
ecutor could be found to bring action and punish the
members of the new underworld.

TRUTH AND PROBABILITY.

A YOUTHFUL aspirant for literary honofs
"A submitted three stories to an editor. Each
was true, but done in the form of fiction.
Each story was refused. In each case the crti
vism was that the Story was too improbable"
After the third rejection the aspiring author ex-
planned the actual basis of her narratives. The reply
of the critical editor is published. in recent issue
of The Editor magazine for young writers. He
says in part;
True stories and probable stories are diff
ferent things II true stories are told as fiction
they must obey the laws of fiction, and be made
TO seem probable, Most true stories are told
because they are improbable, and gain their
interest from that circumstance"
Yesterdays newspapers would prove the criticism.
Ayers yarns of the good boys who saved the
Bankers daughter from impending death and 50
opened The way 10 fame and fortune have been
denounced as far-feched and improbable. But
New York boy who served in the A, E. F. has in
herted valuable French vineyard as a reward for
saving the owners daughter from drowning
Fiction dealing with unnatural marriages is COM
monty criticised as improbable, but yesterdays news
told Of woman suing for divorce from her father.
To make the story doubly improbable the relation
ship was revealed in dream, she says
The yarn of the titled foreigner dying from
hunger rather than reveal his shame appears fre-
quently and requires clever treatment TO make it
appear probable but a man is in a New York hos
pital under such circumstances.
= Another old standby that taxes the ability of the
fiction writer is the infant stolen from good home
who returns as grown man or woman; but 4
Virginia child Kidnapped and trained as a circus per-
Nfonnef has discovered her relatives after eighteen
years.
Every newspaper holds the basis Of a library Of
novels-if only the truth were not too strange for
use as fiction.

For Election Reforms.

To Hlre Editor Of The Evening WorLl
How much longer must we be the
laughing stock OF England and the
world with our antiquated election
system which permits the executive
and legislative majority to be OF diff
ferent political parties, thus Stacking
both and making them impotent?
How can a Democratic Governor
serve the people with a Republican
majority; or to draw a lesson from
the League OF Nations calamity, how
can Democratic President fu.d. his
oath of office with a Republican ma
jorty In Congress?
We need reform law making this
condi tlOn impossible; a law modelled
or the unwritten custom prevailing
in England OF the Executive and his
Cabinet rcsgning when the majority
is against them.
With our present system, all wor-
thy reforms are prevented from be-
coming laws because each political
party is jealous OF the other gain
ing credit for passing good law.
This effectually prevents any SEM
hlanCe OF good government: this Is
the underlying cause OF the present
unrest, both here and abroad, For
