SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

The Original Optimist.
The locust said
To the katydid,
Just so ahead,
Where you're lying hid.
And sing your song
OF Autumn glee-
But the truth is strong
That you hear from me"
The katydid
To the locust cried,
Our ears you bid
To be terrified
With your hot-wave stuff.
Though it's true, fear,
l would rather bluff
With a song of cheer

BE LETTER CARRIERS, YE SLUGGARDS

For an occupation guaranteeing good health, be a mail carrier--is the health advice one might draw from tho statement of Dr. Charles II. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., the famous surgeon. Dr. Mayo, return ing from q cruise in sunny Climcs, was entirely dissatisfied with the experience. It tended to make one soft, he said; and people who hie to mild and salubrious climates as soon as the frost is on the pump kin do themselves more harm than good. At least, that is what the doctor thinks.
 The mail carrier we arc informed by the physician, is forced to in dulge in the most healthful of eX- crcisc walking --~ in all kinds of weather; and most Of the time he carries quite heavy parcel of mail matter, which of course adds to the opportunities for first rate exercise. He is forced to buck the elements every day and gets "as hard as nails,' as the expression runs. There may he some corpulcnt letter carriers, but they arc very few; most of them are thinnish, lanly fellows who furnish very little income to the doctoring fra tcrnity.
 Another point that Dr. Mayo touches mp is that mail carriers, by not earning enough money to live on the fat of the land. usually are forced to live prudently, eating cheap and wholesome foods and be- ing tired enough in the evening to sleep, instead of losing sleep away from home.
 When one thoroughly analyzes the Mayo observations one comes ! to the conclusion that letter car. ricrs ought 10 owe the government money for the privilege of being allowed to monopolize so much hoalth.

THE "pRIVILEGE" OF SPANKING ONES WIFE

A Canadian judgo-one of those harsh, learned and legalistc spec!. mcHs taking pride In giving every. one brough, up before him "thc limit"--triod 10 become as famous ---or notorious--as Solomon tho other day hy announcing a man hal t right 10 correct his wife with q few spanks or slaps If the circum- stances warranted tho punishment ,'
 If this were true |, would seem that tho dark ages are not altogether in tho darkcncd past, No modern man worthy the name would hit his wife even when the circumstances warrant it There have been stories and stage jokes galore that some wives could use rolling pins upon their husbands; but in these days whcn rolling pins are not part of tho usual collection of kitchen utcn- sils as much as they once were even this species Of feminine exercise is no longer popular
 Tho Canadian judge went so far as 10 add that under tho law q hus- band really had q legal right 10 "corrcct" his wife in the manner aforesaid, But the legal right he re- fors to must spring from one Of those ancient blue laws such as arc dug up in New England courts occasionally. Conc to think Of it, perhaps there arc laws on the statute books of New England states-perhaps even Connecticut--permitting hus- bands to indulge their legal rights 10 the extent of walloping an erring wife on the jaw; but We doubt whether any prosecutor wold have the temerity to invoke them.
 There Is another reason why such legal rights are not generally &C., cepted by mcro husbands of the 1926 vintage. There are too many wives who might hit back. Our ath- letic girls, unless we are entirely mistaken-as of course we some- times are-would make q sorry mess of some men who attempted to rely too much upon slaps and not enough upon sundaes or bouquets.
 The ultimate conclusion, the final analysis, is that any man who thinks like the Canadian judge is q remnant from the 17th century. And no mat ter what such an old crab thinks, 1t would be risky to suit action 10 the thought in this noble goth cen tury.

CHANGES ON STATE SUPREME. COURT

The Supreme Court of Errors is acquiring an admiXturc Of young blood;" that Is 10 say, from 46 years and up. Very young blood is not according to lIoyle. Blackstone and custom upon the state supreme court. Judge John F. Kccler of Stamford, who retired from the court the other day upon reaching the age Of 70, reached it at the ripe age of GG, so that he enjoyed only four years aa 4 member of the court. Custom dictates long serv- ice at the bar, bench and in other official circumstances before candidate for highest court honors in the state has un opportunity to reach that pinnacle of honor and satisfaction. With the age limit at 70 1t is small wonder that the term of many incumbonts is short.
 Of course, Judge Keeler cawr re- tire in tho fullest sense Of lh" word and enjoy a quiet, uncvcntfuI sun set of life, Two Of the grand old men of the state, however, when they retired from the Supreme court, failed 10 stay retired and b"- came more distinguished there after than before, This naturally refers 10 Marcus II. IIolcomb and Simeon E, Baldwin. Both became governor Baldwin serving four years and Holconb SIX.
 Judge Keoler's successor upon the high court is Judge George F.. Hinman. Of Wtliman'ic, a Eopub- lican who has been active in }ari- ous capacities, He had been d clerk in the Legislature, secretary of the Republican state committee, and attorney general for one term. He is 56 years old, and was one Of 'ho three men nominated for the court by Governor TrumhuH last year. The other two were Judge William N, Malthir, Of Haruorl, and Judge Frank D. Ilaincs of Mddlctown.
 Judge MInMo promises 10 break judicial record in rho a'arc. He is only iG years of age and can look forward to bcius chief justice within five years or so, and then can srt a' 'he head ol the courl for approximately -o years before being uttr.d.
