IB PITY WASTED

Be
The Open Air Man Pities the Man
With the Indoor Job-Then There
Is the Case of Hen-
v rietta
1 There is an awful lot of pity wast-
ed in the 'world Take for example
Henrietta i Henrietta’s family and
friends are always pitying her be-
cause she married that “hopelessly un-
interesting” or “everlastingly disa-
greeable” man while Henrietta Is
laughing in her fleeve because her
sympathizers have never seen the real
side of her Henry and she feels posi-
tively much set up because she knows
he is more Interesting and infinitely
nicer than folks suppose him to be
Personally the writer never cared for
this negative charm in men but there
are numerous women who' feel differ-
ently They consider that a man
apathetic or even disagreeable - to
others can be stirred out of his habit-
ual mood when associated with them
Hence sympathy for Henrietta is
wasted -The
open air man pities the man
with the indoor job He rejoices in
being out among his fellow men Con-
finement or detail work would kill
him wheras the indoor man feels con-
cerning the outdoor one that the lat-
ter leads a dog's life — always ou the
go — always having to be cheerful no
matter if the water pipes have frozen
or the baby has the croup -Our
little barks of life may seem to
be carried along by currents stronger
than the individual will yet really
the individual is consciously or un-
consciously at the helm controlling
every portion of the steering gear and
directing the craft toward the port of
his desires One might think we put
up with our associates as we put up
with our features but actually we are
constantly drawing the congenial
companion to us and eliminating the
acquaintances we care nothing about
It may be that one “wants but little
here below nor wants that little long”
but certainly people do ' want the
queerest things Imagine how a man
who rejoices in a pretty wife and cozy
home must pity an explorer like
Peary and what -Gelett Burgess calls
the latter’s 'unconquerable taste for
voluntary and unnecessary suffering
According to Gelett Mrs Peary’s pe-
culiar self-chosen line of hardships in-
cluded “twenty years of half freezing
to death pulling sledges eating shoes
and candles sleeping in a bearskin
Wise
Said —
“A penny saved is

With the price of beef and
wheat soaring higher and higher
the problem of economic living is
causing mapy housewives to con-
sider food values in planning
meals
For years many have known
and others are now finding out
the true economy in
This Food the true meat of wheat and barley full of Nature’s richest nourishment
builds nerve and muscle bone and brain in a way that has thoroughly commended it
the world over
A package of Grape-Nuts — fully cooked ready to serve and sealed in its weather-
proof and germ-proof wrapping — can be had from any grocer No rise in price!

concludes “when be had found the
north pole he didn’t know what to do
with It"
Who can understand the lure of the
undertaking business? Or appreciate
the mental attitude of a man who
could go to the ball game with a fas-
cinating girl yet who elects Instead to
gather together all the small fry of
the neighborhood marshal them on
and off cars and treat the bunch to
roasted chestnuts You sigh over the
melancholy avccation of the one and
tbo seeming martyrdom of the other
but that is all you know about it The

Wanted Explaining
Old Pompous had been addressing a
meeting of tbe Puddleton Young Men's
Weary Wednesday Evenings He had
bored them steadily for three long
hours and was now at the climax of
his twiddle
“Be industrious! Shun indolence! '
he exhorted bis yawning audience
“Remember ayways that sloth is the
parent of necessity”
He paused impressively! Immedi-
ately a drawling voice came from tbe
back of the hall
“I say” it called “I ’ave ’eard it said
as ’ow necessity is tbe mother of in
vention If so be as it is-and you’re
right too — then Blotb is ‘invention’s
grandmother and summat’s wrong

To Develop Fishing Industry
To control the fishing industry as
far as possible the government of
New South Wales has decided to buy
a number of North sea trawlers It is
moreover proposed tc build others
of the same type at Sydney A 'fleet
of 50 vessels is the intimate aim of
the authorities In this way it is
hoped to lower the prices charged by
private firms It cannot be said how-
ever that the experience of rtber
Australian states in the - matter of
government-owned enterprises has
been a success More than one in fact
has been abandoned with heavy loss to
their promoters

ASSERTS LOVE COMES OFTEN
Woman 8aya She Haa No Patience
With That "One-Man-in-the

Take all the things you were abso-
lutely sure of in connection with love
all that one-roan-ln-the-world business
for Instance It’s sheer rubbish There
are dozens that each individual wom-
an could love Just dozens! Whv
I’ve been In love with several myself
only each time there w'as a new one
persuaded myself that the others
weren’t real sjtys a writer in the Wom-
an’s Home Companion 1 But they
were They were real enough And
yet in the face of my own experience
and my father’s too for I had seen
how he had adored both my own moth-
er and my stepmother — in the face of
it all I kept on believing that one-man-in-tbe-world
business Oh for ages I
believed it And another thing: Ev-
ery young fool in love is absolutely
certain that the rapture is permanent
that they are always' going to thrill
and shiver at the sight of the loved
one’s ' eyes or voice or penmanship
Isn't it silly? Because it can’t last
It may turn to calm affection or indif-
ference or even hate but that raptur-
ous glamour simply cannot endure
Scheme Works Well
“Garrick is certainly a gay deceiv-
er" remarked H ckett to a friend one
morning
“Garrick?” replied tbe friend “How
so?” -
“Why the way he deceives his wife
is awful" said HackeL
“I’m astonished” said the other
“He's the last man I'd suspect of any-
thing of tbe kind ‘ What has he been
doing?”
“Well bis wifes in Italy” said llack-
ett “and he has to stay down at the
office nearly every evening to copY
with his own hand the nice gossipy
letter his stenographer has written
for him during the day”
Matter of Economy
- "So you have given your wife your
word that you will favor votes tor
women”
“Yes” replied the man who dislikes-
argument -
“What are your reasons for doing
so?”
“lt’s cheaper If I say I’m not in
favor of votes for women it’s liable
to hurt my wife's feelings so that it
will take as much as 'a diamond neck-
lace to enable me to square myself”—
