DR.. Traprock Sends an Open Letter
to Mr.. Seth Woskins.

Sir: In a recent issue you have seen
fit to cast distinct aspersions on my
veracity. referring particularly to my
relation of the great fish which came
so near causing a serious accident in
the old Erie canal. 1t is not my habit
to bicker with my readers. They
either take what 1 tell them as gos-
pei or leave them strictly alone.
In simple justice to myself and my
larger public. 1 feel called upon to
make a single. brief statement 1t
was due entirely to the commotion
created by the incident upon which
you squirt your inky doubts that the
state of New York formally decreed
the abolition of the old canal and the
construction of the great barge canal
at an expense of many millions of
dollars-a canal large enough in it's
entire length to admit fish such as l
had hooked and a canal boat side by
side!
Need I say more?
The canal is there, silent witness of
my yeracity.
My advice to you, sir, is to go and
jump in. it.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

Life without some excitement is
uncomfortable, so it is inevitable that
the wealthy, who have had only to
write a check to crafty every other
desire. are, at last, thrown back
upon their own emotions for new
thrills Domestic life soon becomes
commonplace to all Husbands and
wives cease to ralpitate at each
others approach. The I0me stock
AIDE becomes dull and then the rich
jump the bars and begin hunting
sizzling sensations in greener fields
and pastures new.
Undoubtedly, the rich have many
more temptations than the poor
Every man with money must be a

wife, for he is pursued by yong and
beautiful! women, who use every art
and vile to win him away from his
lawfully welded spouse. Indeed, in
such danger from the gold-diggers
is the rich man that much of WON.
ems extravaganza is based on the
knowledge that about the only way
that a wife can keep a husband is
to keep him poor.
On the other hand, 1t is a cold
fact that love itself is not sufficient
capital upon which to marry, and
those who start out with no other
resources soon find themselves bank
rupt in sentiment as we'll as in

No man is in proper frame of
mind to be a lover when he is un-
dernourished, and the affection that

of unpaid bills is pretty apt soon to
show signs of wearing out and fraz-
zling around the edges.
We are all slaves to our tastes
and habits, and the men and women
who have been accustomed to living
in beautiful surroundings, to dress
ing we'll, to dainty food, to cultivated
society, to going to the theater and

able when their marriage plunges
them into ugliness and sordidneSs,
and a perpetual struggle for the

A young couple with too much
money have not a great chance tCr
domestic happiness because the
world steps in to separate them,
They are never thrown absolutely
on each other for companiOnshlp.
They are never entirely necessary
to each other. They never do FOR
each other the little personal things
that weld two people into being one.
The man who has never toiled
and sweated to earn the money that
fed and clothed the woman he loved
has never just the same feeling
toward his wife as has the man who
has made of his body a living bull
Wark to protect her from. suffering.
The woman who has nevA worked,
who has never cooked and seWed
for her man, and nursed him with
her own hands when he was sick,
can never feel that she is as neces-
sary to him as does the woman who
knows that her husbands comfort
and well-being IS in her hands.
Therefore, millionaire husbands
and wives never have that close
ness, that oneness, that poorer hus-
bands and wives so often come to
have. Also the rich are more prone
to jealousy, and with better cause,
than the poor.
Morality is not q matter of fl
nance, but the indulgence in it is.
1t takes time and money to philan-
der, and there is no other such safe
guard against temptation as being
busy and lacking the price.
