Not long ago, I met. on the other
side of the world, a women who is no
longer young, and who suffered from
an injury to her foot that made every
step a painful effort.
Good heavens!" I explained one
day when I saw her face white and
drawn with agony after long climb
Of some temple steps. Whatever in
duced you to undertake a trip like this
in your state?'
Because" she replied, ST am grow
ing old, and old people are necessarily
left much alone. and want something
to think about in the long evenings

I'll never lack for good company now,
because I'll always have with me the
memories Of the entertaining things l
have seen all over the world"
Then she added: 81 have spent a lot

that ] have spent that still have, is

"Right-o!" I responded. Galley

to play a good game of whist in their
youth, so that they might not spend
a miserable old age. He might better
consolation prize of age is a railroad
or steamship ticket. Nothing else
makes old people SO endurable to
themselves, or to others. as getting
away from home and getting sofl1e-
thing different to think about and talk
about.
Indeed you might almost say that
travel is a panacea for half the ills,
bodily and mental, and spiritual, that
afflict humanity, and that the best
remedy for whatever ails US is to take
a trip somewhere.
Especially is this remedy effective
with women, and more especially with
niddie-aged women. About the time
a woman's children get married, or
settled in their careers, she is apt to
take a kind of slump and grow fat
and dull and uninteresting, and
peevish, and disconnected. She isn't
satisfied with her home, she finds
fault with her husband, and either
becomes a morbid recluse, or takes
up with faddy religions, or literary
crazes.
1.-The reason is because she is bored
She has been busy all her life, and
suddenly her occupation is taken
from her. Her job is finished. She
is thrown back on herself for amuse-
ment and companionship and she is
dull company for herself.
THE remedy for her case is a rail-
road ticket. Let her get out of her
treadniilI into fresh fields and green
pastures. Let her go and fill her
mind full of new thoughts, new i'm
pressions, new ideas, new experiences,
and she will come back home happy
and contented and with sane view
point on life.
why even a month away from
home is equal to refurnishing the
house from top to bottom, and mar

The state of Minnesota is consider
ing a proposal similar to that of Gov
ernor Aliens in his message to the leg
isIature, to acquire or construct Its
own plant for the manufacture OF CO.
ment to be used in the extensive road
building program of that common
wealth, 1t is urged by the advocates
of this plan that it will result in
large saving to the state, as it is
claimed that excessive prices are
asked by private producers and deal
ers, and that the only way for the
state to avoid this alleged hold-up Is
to go into the business and produce its
own material. On the other hand.
however, there is considerable oppo-
sition to the proposal, largely based
on the customary argument that the
state should not attempt to invade a
field where it would be in competition
with legitimate private enterprise, not
only because this would lead to con-
flict with private interests. but be-
cause a policy of this kind once estab-
nshed might lead to dangerous expert
ments along other and similar lines.
The right decision of every such ques-
ton rests on the ground of actual or
prospective economy, and when this
rule carefully is followed there will be
small chance for mistake.

Dinner Stories


The prize for optimism is awarded
to a resident of one of the rural dis
tricts of Wales. AS the story goes, an
old man was sitting on the roof of his
house during a flood watching the wa
ters flow past, when neighbor who
possessed a boat rowed across to him.
"aIloa, Ted" he said.
"alloa, Dave" replied the other.
"AH your towels washed away this
morning, Ted %

"That's all right, Dave. Them win

Collection money was to little Tom
my one of the essentials of church-go-
ing. Every Sunday morning he saw
just as the ushers began to take the
collection. Tommy noticed that guest
in the family pew was not duly pro-
v.ded. Sliding along the seat, he whis-
pered:
where's your penny"
IT didn't bring one" replied the lady
Time was short and the matter was
urgent. but Tommy was euickwttted.
Thrusting his penny into the Iady's
hand. he whispered:
Here, take mine. It'll pay for you.
I'll get under the seat."

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

UIDE YOUR TROUBLES.
Hide your troubles, keep 'em down,
Nothing's pettered by a frown;
dismal tales OF woe
Doesn't help you as you go,
Talking of your round Of care
Makes it doubly hard to bear.
Find>some joy to talk about,
Never let your hardships out,
Keep 'em to yourself, an tell
Other folks you're doing we'll;
whimpering won't help bit,
Silence Is the source of grit.
Hide your troubles, big or small,
Talking doesn't help at all
Even tho you're in despair
Just pretend your skies are fair,
Fight by day, but when it's night
Never talk about your fight.
Friends should see you at your best,
Keep your troubles to your breast,
Don't make petty troubles known,
You can handle 'efn alone;
Just forget 'em for a while.
Hide 'em underneath a smile.
