By '4 deadhead idea of life," I year the increasing national care-
mean this thing of allowing our- j lessness in correspondence sends
alone until we become cranky.
There is much to be learned by
mixing 'with our fellows. We get
a lot of practical knowledge by
knocking about. But after all
the best, truest and most reliable
information about ourselves,men
and the world comes from com-
muning with our own selves and
being still.
Our modern life is too clutter-
ed. We are everlastingly doing
things. We chatter and work
and play, and ifwe have an hour
of leisure we fill it with the rot-

Last year the railroads issued and
sold at par, or alwve, two hun-
dred and sixty millions of new
stock, a considerable part of
which also was absorbed by cap-
ital of the sort referred to above.
The stocking is steadily enriched
also in many ways that are not
easily traceable—as by individu-
al loans on real estate, invest-
ments in unlisted securities, ac-
cretions of interest-bearing bank
deposits. In the last three years

I have noticed that there are
people who are continually seek-
ing help from others to carry
out any plan and asking it as a
free gift. They seem to think
that after a man has earned his

also see to it that they get theirs.
It is not much trouble to enlist
the help of others in any legiti-

and parcels to be auctioned off
by the Postoffice Department.
This year the net -revenue from
this sale amounted to- $8,748.7o
and among the auctioned matter
were more than 73,000 parcels an
catalogued items.
At this sale there are always a
number of bidders ready to take
a chance of finding contents of
value in the letters and parcels
from the Dead Letter Office,and
it is needless to say that myriads
of tragedies and comedies can
be read between the lines of these
"waifs of the great ocean of post-
al communications.
