CLOSE TO NATURE.

A man and his wife few days ago be-
gan an adventure in the forests OF Name,
where they are to live after the manner OF
Adam and Eve as close to nature as may be
humanity possible They entered the forests
without clothing, without food and without
any of the implements or comforts of civill-
cation. No fig trees grew Whereabouts, but
there were birches, the bark OF which pro-
/vided them with clothing OF a kind when
fastened with vines. They had no fire, but
the husband rubbed sticks and wood togeth-'
er and produced it. They sought at the be-
ginning of their adventure to trap wild ami
mails, but none came so they subslsted on
shoots and roots of vegetation Rain fell soon
after they entered the forest, and, without
clothing, they became chilled. The first night
in the open the woman startled her husband
with piercing screams She had dreamed
fierce beasts were seeking to devour her.
Emerging from the forest to tell OF their ex-
perience after day two living close to
nature the couple did not reflect great hap
pness and content but returned to the wood
determined to stay month as originally
planned.
One might in this way get very close to
nature, but there is doubt that it would
be either wise or profitable. Persons accus-
toned to the conventions and conveniences
of modern life are likely to suffer injurious
lrdships. and there is little possibility that
adventure could be enjoyed until alter It
I'd ended. Adam and Eve probably did
IT have pneumonia or rheumatism as re-
suit Of their life in the garden of Eden, but
Maine forest could hardly be expected to
provide a duplicate Of it. The everglades OF
Florida surely would furnish more pleas
ing locale as far as weather was concern
ed The experiment, in any case, probably
would not be worth the effort and the dis
comforts that result.
1t is not necessary to go to such lengths
10 live close to nature. 1t can be accom-
plished by modern persons, even with the
conventions considered and regarded if plans
are sensiby made and sensibly followed.
Persons who are willing to walk, with the
motor car left in the garage, who are salts
fed with the music of the birds in lieu OF the
jazz back in the city, who are pleased with
the beauty of the sunset and the quiet pano-
rama of hill and stream and wood when they
cannot see a thriller on the screen, who are
content with the responsibility OF stepping
carefully over stones or roots or marshes,
who are industrious enough to cook their
meals over camp fires instead of depending
upon hired service could get close to nature
md enjoy it far more than the couple up in
he Maine woods.
Living close to nature does not mean lit
orally return to the primeval 1t does mean
living natural life in such way that one
may have understanding and an apprecia-
ton of natures ways. and benefits. That can
be done without leaving ones clothing at
mRome and plunging naked into the forest. 1t
an be accomplished without any of the fuss
sIznd worry and discomfort entailed by an ad-
venture Of that kind and, in the end, both
the enjoyment and the advantage of the ex-
perience are far greater.

As Forty to One.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In an address to a trade association at
Birmingham a little while ago one Peter O..
Knight of Tampa, Fla, in a review of ma
tional tendencies past and present, laid down
the proposition that these United States of
America is the most governed and worst
governed" of all the countries of the world
AS proof of the first part of his statement
he pointed out that
We have now 100000 federal office holders.
Added to that the city office holders the
county office holders the township and the
state Office holders, and we now have one
official to every 40 people in the United
States.
A vast army of tax eaters" if the Flori-
dams figures are right A horde as great as
the armies that contended on the western
front! Year by year an easy going, senti-
mental people is led to establish another fed
eral bureau of some kind to make places for
more clerks, more stenographers, more chief
clerks, more third-assistant-s -deputy-actin
bureau chiefs!
The states have the habit also, and the
counties. The cities are old offenders. The
payroll of any modern city looks like the
muster roll OF an army corps.
Yet there be folk who are not pessimists
who cannot see that the nation is any better
governed today than it was before the rank
growth of bureaus, divisions, departments
and sections. There is neither de1usion nor
illusion, however, about government costing
more.
THE most governed and the worst govern
ed" There is something to think over in
what the man from Tampa had to say at
Birmingham.

NOW FOR THE NEXT.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
The Munchausen who sent out from Col
orado the story about a snake attacking an
tire laid down on his Job He might lust as
well have gone ahead with the tale by hav-
ing the air from the tire initiate the body
of the snake let the rim of the wheel entwine
the reptile about and sent the machine on
its way for a few thousand miles before the
driver discovered new auto accessory. Why
tell half lie?

SHOOTING UP THE CONSTITUTION.

From the cambridge Post Searchlight.
Yep, that road bond issue is getting into
deep water. Yeomans says it is making an
innocent man buy the gun that murders him.
A neat way OF calling somebody a sand bag
ger, but 1t has its merits. If they ever get
that old state constitution shot up like thew
want it they will sand bag the taxpayers Of
the state to farewell These BOYS are cute
They do not send out their publicity at all in
keeping with their bills.

Seven Sure Shoppers.

Jackson Progress-Argus: How can I beat

canteloupes, tease him with velvet beans and
peanuts. This is the only sure way.

In Lighter Vein.

A negro never fails to have an amusing
answer, more particularly to a northerner.
And a northerner never fails to draw a south
ern darkey out. A recently arrived northern
er in Louisiana had begun a conversation
with an old negro on the plantation where
he was visiting.
Tell me, uncle" he asked, what kind of
hours do you work here? How long do you
work."
WELL sir, we works from can't see to can't
see"
She had studied all the modern fads and
was rather amused at the latest theory about
kissing Doctors said it was most unhygienic
and dangerous. Finding herself alone with a
rather silent young man, she mistook his
silence for shyness.
do you think kissing dangerous?" She
asked.
Terribly" he answered
why? Whatever can it producer"
Marriage" he snapped.
In Chicago they tell of fascinating young
married woman, who, in the absence of her
husband, received much attention from an
old admirer. One evening the latter ventured
to become reminiscent.
"Ah," he sighed "If only you had married
me instead of Babcock."
Then | should have been with Mr.. Bah
cock at this very moment instead OF with
you" answered the fascinating one How

The planet Mars, the astronomers an
nounce, will approach to within 100000
miles of the earth on June 18th, and two
years hence will come still closer, or to with
in 100000 miles OF course at such a dis
tance Mars is only relatively close, but the
reduced distance will afford scientists oppor-
tunity for more intimate study of this other
world, in an effort to discover whether life
in any form exists upon it. What a discovery
that would be- to learn for certainty that
there is life in these outposts of space 1t is
not unreasonable to hope and believe that
man will achieve that discovery and others
even greater as time passes.

If it is true, as ex-senator J. Ham Lewis
is quoted as saying in Constantinople, that
America hasn't single friend in Europe the
situation is not necessarily discreditable to
America A debtor generally disikes his
creditor and nations are not different from
individuals. 1t is not the fault OF America
if the countries OF Europe are ungrateful.
America knows what Europe wants and
what would make Europe its servile friend,
but it prefers not to purchase friendship in
that way. Europe needs America a whole
lot worse than America needs Europe

The rate at which money is being invested
in tax exempt securities is amazing, as any
report of the Wall street money market will
attest. The popularity OF this form OF invest
ment is indicated by the fact that premiums
are increasing coincident with reduction OF
the interest rate If congress and state legis-
latures have any notion Of removing the ex-
emptions from this class OF securities it will
be we'll to hasten. Very soon, it would seem,
all the surplus money will have been invested
In the good old days gone by the only
real spook on the taxpayers horizon was the
fear of getting into the delinquent tax list in
December. But now that is mere trifie. In
stead of being "held up only by mild
hammered tax collector in the winter the tax
payer is haunted the year around by equal
zers, inspectors, examiners and collectors OF
various degree.
