ECCENTRIC IN ALL THINGS
Poet Shelley a Good Example of "Great Minds to Madness Close
 Iy Are Allied"

In Shelley, politics, atheism, love and poetry were all mixed up to- gether A touch of neurasthenia added to the confusion. In so far he was only one of the more interesting speci- mems of humanity. Nevertheless, his eccentricity Is q tale that grows in the telling. granted he never could swim, he was a good shot and loved pistol practice all his life somewhat to the discomfort of those who watched him handle firearms. HOgg says he could fairly glide through a crowd, but would trip over his own feet, once he was alone. His absurd dread of disease has been dWelt on again and again; as, for instance, his catching elephantiasis by rubbing knees all day with an absurdly fat woman who sat opposite to him in stage coach. Not till he had been examined and re- assured by physician did he recover. Members of his entourage write vague ly of "spaSms" planes laudanum, and implies that he was too constantly haunted by his own thoughts, in spite of incessant reading and writing. Peacock cites the vege- tartan diet and concludes with his famous cure-'twO mutton chops, we'll peppered." HOgg thinks he should have been a lawyer, "for he had the most acute intellect of any man I ever kneW"-pOetry was the evil genius of his life.-Stewart Mitchell in the Dial

think that you had deliberately made that walk slippery so as to get pa tients." He looked into POlly's blue eyes and laughed again, and Polly looked very much distressed. and the mayor was sorry that he had leased her.
 So that was the beginning of the chain of events that led to the mar riage that spring of HillSbOrO's young mayor and her youngest doctor. The little white cottage, somewhat en- larged, became the mayors residence, and the mayor consented to his wife's request to continue her work as 8 children's specialist, providing that she would doctor the poor of the town without charge.
 It was the day before their wedding that they recalled together the events of the day of their meeting. 'I was distressed because it really was our fault that you slipped and only an hour before Bob and I were jOkingly saying that we would have to get patients just that way"
 And l." confessed the mayor, twas walking not far behind you at the time. It was silent, snowy night. You didn't hear me, but heard what you said. SO-well. wanted to know Eeu better-so I decided I'd pretend to slip on your front walk anyway, so you'd have to take me in. But when was getting ready to fake fall took a real one"

IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX DATE
Exact Time of the Birth of the Savior Has Never Been Absolutely
 Determined.

The exact date of Christ's birth Is not known. The Oxford CyclOpedia Concordance says: "It is very per picking to many to find that Jesus was born four years before the time from which we count his birth. The simple reason Is that no one calculated dates from the birth of Christ until centuries after he was born, and then Di0nysius Exiguus. the monk who pub iished the calculations in A. D. 526. made a mistake of four years. He placed the birth of Christ in the year of Rome GA. U. O. 754. But HerOd the Great, who slew the innOcents of Bethlehem. died in April in the year of Rome. 75O so that Christ must have been born several months before or not later than the last of 749. Jesus probably was born at the very close of s E. C.. which would be only four years before our cru, for in a week after December 25, E. C., it was January, 4 B. c. Since 1t Is Impossi- bP to rectify the dates in all books and records over the world. we sim ply apply the true Gate to the life of Christ. He was five years old at the close of A. D. l."

RADIO TO OTHER PLANETS7
High Scientific Authority Declares This to Be Possibility of
 the Future.

Venus Is possibly inhabited by human beings, and communication with planetary neighbOrs by wireless may be possible, although the cost would be immense" in the opinion of c. G. Abbot, assistant secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who discusses various scientific phases of the habit" ability of other worlds in the annual report of the institution.
 Mir. Abbot says Venus reflects light as if 1t were surrounded with clouds, and so probably Tit contains plenty of moisture"
 Its temperature Is about the same as that of the earth" he added, "and all other conditions are apparently compatible with the existence of ln- teligent life" Many popular writers have claimed great things for Mars as an abode of life. MT. Abbot says, "but I cannot accept this view"
 Commenting on suggestions that i've are already receiving wireless signals from intelligent beings outside of the earth,' MT. Abbot declares the best in- formation seems to be that the wire less indications referred to are merely disturbances introduced by solar or terrestrial causes as yet imperfectly understood"
 The moon, our nearest neighbOr, is a waterless, airless, mountainous desert, and there is no probability of intelligent beings there; the probability Is even less on the sun, whose intense heat would not allow any living being to exist there. This leaves as possible abodes of life in our solar system the seven great planets, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Mercury. The outer four of these planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, are, as shown by their low density, mainly in a gaseous state. Mercury, like the moon, Is an air less, waterless, waste, besides being baked with terrific heat, so this planet also is out of the running. The prob able average temperature of Mars is 60 degrees below zero, and its climate Is drier than the Sahara desert.

When he sent the two tubs of Crim- son ramblers to her after this he de- cided to write a note to accompany them. He was fearful lest the girl might worry about the material side of it. the expenditure. He fabricated as successfully as if he were writing fic- tion and explained that the overpro- life greenhouses of his brother in the country made 1t nothing at all for him to keep her in the flowers she so Ob- viously loved.
 Violet pondered over the note, and more than ever her eyes were dreamy with the wonder of her secret romance. Would 1t be so wonderful when she met him face to face2
 She knew her moment of awaken ing had come when she entered the dtn- ing room one morning and her eyes fell on a dropping bud of begonia in the lapel of David Drake's coat. She blushed brilliantly. He caught her eyes, and as she found her way to her own table she realized how wonder fully woven was the web of her TO- nance No man, of all whom she had known, could have fitted so adequately into the dream as this quiet writer of short stories.
 When she returned to her room she buried her face in the big begonia plant and wrote note. "I have no way to thank you for all the joy you have brought into my life with your gifts of flowers. The begOnia bud must have been broken off to carry mes sage to you. I am glad it is you who have been so good to me-"
 Fortunately that night when Violet passed his table Drake was not in his place, and she dropped the scribbled note near his knife.
 When he read 1t he, too, turned a rosy red. He spoke at once with the tablemaid who, with broad grin that showed that her sympathetic Irish soul had been touched, carried the tray of food over to the little table by the window. Drake himself followed.
 The tablemaid told Mrs. Drew after ward that she had never seen such a look in any ones eyes as had come into the girls when MT. Drake sat down at the table opposite her.
 After that the petals of the flower of the boarding house romance un- folded one by one until a blushing bride blOOmed in all her lOveliness.

Why FarmIna Should Pay.

The National City bank, of New York, after analysing the census fig ures for 1920. declares that for the first time in the history of our cOun- try there are more people working in factories than on farms. Fifty years ago there were more than twice as many country workers as city workers. This not only means that the farmer has a bigger market for his product, but that he is a greater buyer of man. factured goods, because an increasing ly large proportion of the factory hands are making things for the com fort and convenience of people in the country. If we forget the year or two of hard times, now happily passing, we can see that farming is not a crowded business, and we can be sure that 1t will be generally prosperous in the flu ture. The man who gets discouraged now and leaves the farm because he thinks farming doesn't pay" Is mak- ing a mistake-Farm Life

Hla Idea of WanLth.

The late B. H. Hartman of railroad fame personally interested himself in an East side boys club in New York. George Kennan, author of the recently published biography of MT. Hartman, interviewed some of the younger boys who had come in contact with the f1nancier to get their impressions of him. One twelve-year-old youngster had this to say: MT. Harriman's 8 great man. He's president of a rail- road and he's worth a couple of thou. sand anyhow. He's a quiet man and never tells anybody down here any thing about his business.

 She was slim and pale and she occu- pied the table beside the window in the boarding house. Sometimes the sun slanting in shone on the dull auburn of her hair and turned 1t into fiery c0p- per.
 Drake's table was far back in tAe shadow of the second dining room. Re sat where he was quite unObserved, but from his vantage point he was most observing. He studied each of Mrs. ically fed himself with her indifferent ly cooked food.
 Most often he found himself watch ing the girl whom he had named VSO- let. He had given her this name be- cause of her slim, modest shyness, and somehow she seemed to exude a fragrance that was reminiscent of the English violet itself.
 Drake never made friends in bOaRd- ing houses, nor apparently did the glrl. Otherwise theirs might have been De- fore this an ordinary speaking ac- Quaintance.
 The days had long since gone when landladies could buy bunch of wall flowers or jonquils for d dime, and in consequence the tables were seldom adorned with anything more decorative than d salt and pepper shaker and the mustard pot.
 One day when Drake opened his mail and found q check larger than he had expected from a story inspired by folks in that dining room he decided to buy some flowers for the landIady. He bought an armful of tawny chrysQn- themums and every table in both dln- ing rooms was made beautiful by them
 Drake happened to glance at Violet and his heart gave bound. She had cupped one of the great blossoms in her lovely hands and was burying her face in 1t. Then she raised her eyes and looked into its golden depths with an unmistakable love of flowers in Der expression. She inhaled the bi4er

 "Jolly good thing I didn't get roses, " he said to himself. "She might have kissed them right here before this cold feel to have Violet look deep into his soul as she had looked into the heart of this flower.
 That night he brought home six hya- cinths and took them to his room m- der cover of his coat.
 Violet usually went for a short walk after her day in business, and 1t was while she was gone that he slipped the bunch of blossoms through the balcony railing and on her window sill so that they might greet her when she pulled up her curtains the next morning Drakes room was next to hers and he could hear her moving about when the windows were up.
 He slept well and he believed he dreamed of a slim. Auburn-haired girl! in garden of flowers.
 The tinkIing of the brass rings on tie long curtains in the next room brought him to consciousness in the morning. He sat up and listened. He heard soft little exclamation and was repaid for his gift. She had found the flowers and they had given her de- light.
 Later, in the dining room, he heard her questioning Mrs. Drew, but that astOnished person was as much myS- tified as was the girl.
 Romance had drifted into the board. ing house, and Mrs. Drew was as pleased and excited as eat with her first batch of kittens. But she could not put two and two together. She could not find the happy man.
 Basy-gOing David Drake, the ser, Ous, quiet author of so many short stories. was the last person she would have suspected.
 And Violet? She was only half con sCiOus of having stepped into the world of romance. But she had fONnr' a new interest in life. Her eyes too on warmer glow, her steps becamc more bu0yant and faint rose fuS' nnn"ared in her pale checks when sl, entered the boarding house dining room.
 Exquisite orange tulips had followed the hyacinths and then happy yellow jOnquils. Then, one morning, a great cluster of fragrant, dewy roses of deepest, warmest red greeted her eyes when she pulled aside her curtain. After that she knew that she was truly loved.
 Violet had kept all the bulbs and%Vas caring for them until the following spring, when she hoped to be able to plant them in the far-away garden in the South. She had been miserably hOmesick since she came to the big city to make her living and she Iopged for the family, the flowers, the birds and all that meant life to her. No one knew just how much this gift of flow CTS had meant to her nor how wonder fully her soul had responded.
 It was getting well into spring and the long, light evenings made 1t eif1- cult for Drake to get his offeringS un- seen to her window. His own awnings were up and the partition between the balconies was canvased so as to insure privacy. The girl had planted fioWers on her railings and he could see her tending them.
