MY FAVORITE STORIES
Rv Irwin Cobb

by lTVlN OOUU
An office man for Chicago lumber con-
Germ decided to get into the business on7his
own account. Sight unseen for cash, ne
purchased milling property in the White
river bottoms of Arkansas at a figure which
seemed to him highly attractive. He set
tied up his affairs in the city and caught
train for the south to take over the bargain
he had acquired.
At desolate way station on the edge OF
a swamp he left the cars. The man from
whom he had. purchased, a lean, whiskered
individual, met him with a team and
blackboard, and together they started on the
long drive fourteen miles back in the coun-
try to the scene of the Chicagoan's prospec.
tive future operations. AS they bumped
along over the corduroy road the northern
man turned to his companion and said:>
"Im hoping to make good deal OF
money out of this new line and I'm trust
ing to you to put me onto the ropes
know something about the selling end OF
the game, but this is going to be my first
experience in the actual getting out or the
raw stock
"WeI, subj" said the late proprietor, "1ll
give you my own experiences in the saWmlll
business and then you kin draw yore own
conclusions. This yere mill I sold YOU
didn't cost me nary cent to begin WIN.
When my father-in-law died he left it to me
all complete and clear Of debt.
Labor amt cost me nothin because my
two boys and me do all the work and we
amt never had to hire no outside help.
And the timber we've cut amt cost noth1n's
neither, cause, just between you and me-
we been sort o. stealin' it off the land OF
rich Yankee who owns a big stretch OF tne
bottoms and amt got nobody watchin' 1t.
"I've also been kind Of favored in the
matter of shipments, SEEM that my cousin
is district freight agent for the railroad
and he fixes up things so part Of the time
our freightin' don't amount to nothin' at all.
$50 that's the way she stands-no wages
for outside hands, no cost for timber ana
practically nothing for freight bills

Editorial Echoes

LONDON.-The Paris correspondent of the
Evening News says:
A mistake on the part of an official at the
Marie at Toulon has led to Gilberton sit
uation.
young woman with the Christian name
of Marie Josephine applied TO- documents
for the purpose of getting married 4
The clerk issued papers in the name of
Marie Rose, a woman of the same surname,
who was born the same year. No one noticed
the mistake and the marriage took place.
In her turn Mile. Marie Rose wished to
get married, but on applying for the docu-
ments was told to her surprise that she was
already married. The intimaton came as
such shock she tainted.
The point to be decided by the authori-
ties, says the Exchange, is who of the two
women is married.
Pending the ruling as to the oigamy laws,
any further marriage ceremonies between
the parties have been forbidden.
The circus was the forerunner of Amer
ica's mighty amusement enterprises, and
has led the world It weaves a. spell of en-
chantment through it's color, it's gaiety, it's
music and life, the thrills of daring deeds,
the romance and mystic charm of distant
places, the ferocious beasts and strange peo-
pie. 1t creates a world OF its own. Even
the wonder of the movies cannot replace the
circus when its coming is heralded.
And the main show has been kept clean.
There has never been an appeal to sex, or
display of lifes slime. In the past there
have been side-shows that were not of the
best, but these have been cleaned up. Every
effort has been made to rid the circus of
it's hangers-o on, the followers who fed on the
gullbility of an easy public. And the stars
of the circus world have notA1gured promi-
-nently in divorce courts or through sensa-
tional scandals.

aspirations. Their fathers and mothers
opinions are not theirs. They no longer
have theA same tastes or habits. very often'
they have even wandered off after dlfferent
political faiths, and strange gods.
~ If the children came from humble homes
they are very often shamed of their parents.
Always, they are patronizing, for no human
being ever feels SO wise again, or SO sure
that he or she is capable of running the uni
verse, and strengthening out every smart IN
life, as a young college graduate. 1t takes
year of living, and many Knockout blows
for them to find out that all knowledge does
not come put in school book packages, and
that pinch of the wisdom that their par
ents have gained through experience is
worth tore of the theories handed out to
them by their professors.
Years later, Mary will find out that hav-
ing graduated in chemistry has not taught
her how to make bread that isn't heavy and
sour; that degree in higher mathematics
does not enable her to cope successfully with
the butchers bill, and that woman may
speak three live languages and two dead
ones. and yet be unable to manage her hus-
band in any one Of them. Then she will
come and sit at mothers feet and be filled
with awe and wonder at the good judgment,
and executive ability and tact, that has en-
abled her to make one dollar do the work
of five, and kept father purring under her
hand, and the household machinery running
without a squeak.
And when John discovers that college
yell, and the right to write A. M. after his
name doesn't enable him to even make liv-
ing, he will not be SO scornful Of the mental
equipment of father who started without a
penny and has piled up comfortable for
tune. It takes time, however, for children
to get a perspective on their parents vir-
tues It takes experience to teach the worth
Of experience, and most fathers and mothers
do not understand this, and have not the
patience to wait for .heir children to dis
cover them. They feel they have right tc
Mary's and Johns love, and admiration and
gratitude, and they are hurt when they can
not collect the debt on the nail.
1t is cruel situation, but the only way to
meet it is with patience and diplomacy, in
stead of with nagging, and tears, and re-
proaches, and bitter ridicule. If fathers and
mothers will bide their time, and IL they will
use as much forebearance in thrusting their
opinions on these strange children Of their
and use as much suavity and tao in handling
them as they would a visitor from some for
eign place whom they were anxious to please,
they can turn their own children into friends
and bind them to them with hoops of steel
instead of driving their young ones away
from them forever. But 1t Is up to the par
ents The children are not wise enough to
save this day.

The children are coming home from school
noW-the boys and girls who have been of
at college for four or five years, and who
have, as the phrase goes, finished their ed
ucation.'
1t is the great moment in the lives of
hundreds of thousands of parents. 1t is the
hour to which they have looked forward ever
since John and Mary lay In their cradles,
sucking their little pink thumbs Then and
there father and mother planned to give their
children better education than they ever
had, and advantages they never knew, and
they have held fast to the VOW they made on
their babies heads.
1t has taken hard work, many sacrifices,
ceaseless scrimping and saving to put John
through Harvard, or Yale, or Princeton, and
to send Mary to college or a fashionable
finishing school. Fathers shoulders have
bent under the extra load he took upon him
self. Mothers hair has whitened, and her
face has grown tired and worn. Father has
worn the same coat for three years SO that
John might have money to belong to the
proper college clubs. Mother hasn't had
new hat ior gown in dear knows how long,
because Mary needed pretty clothes such as
complaining. They are educating their chill
dren, and it was worth the price.
And now they are about to receive their
reward. John is coming home to be his
fathers pride and joy. His stay. His right
hand in business. Mary is coming back to
fill her mothers days with loving compan-
ionship, and all the dreams Of reunited
family are about to be realized
The children come. Their is a rapture
Of welcome,- and then the tragedy of great
Disappointment the SCATTERING of the dreams
OF years. For SLOWLY and surely, but with
a deadly certainty, the realization comes
home to the parents that there is no other
human being in all the world with whom they
are so little acquainted as they are with their
own children. There is no stranger with
whom they find it so hard to get in touch
these young people who flesh of their
flesh, and bone of their bone, and heart, of
their heart.
The little Jones girl who lives next door,
and who pops in and out all day., has thou
sand more things in commol with mother
than her own daughter has. Father can
chum up with Tom Smith who began as an
office boy, and has grown up in the business,
but there is a wall of ice between him and
his own son. They have nothing to say to
each other. And when they are left alone
together both are bored and embarrassed.
The parents are filled with anlazement
and despair to find that their children have
brought something home with them besides
their blue-ribbonned diplomas. They have
brought different ideals different ways of
looking at things, different interests, and

thing.
There are millions Of people in the world,

Millions of people whose tears and sIf-

I have no sympathy for people who eat

I have no sympathy Tor mld0Ie-ageu

have no sympathy for FAT people
when I think of all the luxurious leisure
and of all the fun they had getting that
way.
I have no sympathy for women who go
on living with husbands who are untrue or
unkind or uncongenial-
Simply because they have not the enter
prise nor the energy. to "face the world
alone" and earn living for themselves.
I have no sympathy for men whose wives
do not love them
For, half the time, this is because man
prefers woman who ignores him to one
who adores him.
And the other half of the time it is be-
cause he does not take the trouble to MAKE
the woman love him.
have no sympathy with mothers who
make burnt offerings Of themselves On the

bleeding-and alone.

OF INTEREST TO WIVES
By DR.. Frank Crane

Miss Beatrice Grimshaw, the adventurous
Irish novelist, landed in Plymouth, England,
the other day, after spending fifteen years
among the cannibalS in the South Sea Is
lands.
She brings back some interesting stories
about the cannibals, and of particular inter
est to women is her account of how these
people treat their wives.
She says that cannibal women are badly
treated by their men, and they are little
more than slaves. They are often killed by
their husbands for no offense at all.
81 once know of an old chief" she said,
who had eighteen or nineteen wives. Two
of them were always nagging, so, for the
sake of peace and quiet, the old man felt
constrained to stone-club the pair. He
afterwards ate them
A cannibal purchases his wife for so many
bracelets made Of clam she'll, or so many
pigs.
''There are very few quarrels about
women, as they are not valued highly. Pigs
are much more expensive. In fact, when
trouble arises, it is not so much matter of
cherchez la femme as cherchez lie pore
Proposals of marriage usually emanate
from the girls. Sometimes the damsePs
parents will sell pretty girl to a rich old
cannibal. This usually is bad bargain for
the old man. who is often dubbed to death
and eaten by his youthful rival.
"Cannib1l girls begin to think of marriage
at the age of twelve.
Wluo"s femdrFy Iuey mourn Ior SIX
months in the graveyard. They build leaf
house over the grave, and lie on it. Often,
however, they mingle their mourning with
a little love-making with some other swain"
1t may be some comfort to the ladies Of
our own acquaintance who are disposed to
repine over their unappreciative husbands,
their lack of spending money or their house
hold drugery, to know that it might be worse
if they lived in the Solomon Islands Things
are in a pretty bad way when the husband
knocks his cigar ashes on the parlor carpet,
complains of the biscuit, and refuses to
bands have other ways of maxim. them
selves disagreeable also, which is the thing
that every woman knows.
We merely adduce Miss Grimshaw's mar
rative of the Cannibal Islands in the hope
that we may add some crumb of comfort to
the pitable lot of women.
