THERE is a saying that it takes all
sorts of people to make the world,
and this is true. And because there
are all sorts of people there are all
sorts of ways of living, and what
is good living for some is impossible
for others. One finds good news in
that in which another finds bad
news. One thrives where another
starves. So it is that even great
catastrophes more often than not
benefit some one.

ny OF his Latvian race of seafaring
men. who. Notwithstanding the sub

to 1918, never lost the determinati ton
to triumph and again come into their
own. For centuries Latvia was the

Peter looked at that tree curious

something was the matter with it.
If nothing was the matter with it
why didn't Paddy cut it? Finally
his curiosity got the best of him. He
simply must know about that tree.

good tree?"
Paddy, who was just passing on
