S. t'., as mail matter of the second class THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 15122. Leslie 1*. Wheal on. years old. hus worked like a horse all his life. He is known as the best ditch digger in northern Maine. His home is a shack made out of tar paper ami old packing boxes. The other day Fate shuffled the cards and Wheaton inherited $50,000. His hard days are over. This is the sort id' windfall we all hope for. It is good to read that occasionally the dream conies true. That is what keeps most ol us going?hope. Speaking of husbands anil wives an exchange asks why it is that a person with a blessed disposition often lias a close imitation of sataii for a mate. Biologists answer, "For the same reason that 1 it11?> 1111*11 gravitate to big wo1111*11 ami il iiiiimit ivo women to largo men." Nature bates extremes, including brilliancy, and is constantly fusing " opposite*" to restore the balance to a normal type. It is a good scheme, otherwise a few hundred superpeople soon would have all the in clotm vm\ ? o ? * oit* > v i.uaiii^. The <>1< 1 theory that "almost every one eats too iiiueh anil would be better off with half the amount" is plain bunk, accord iug to Dr. Hurry (!. Stiles, talk ing to the Harvard Medical school. Dr. Stiles says that il yen are fat, you eat too much, and that if you are thin you do not eat enough, but that you should always satisfy your lint; ger. There is very little danger of overeating when food is thoroughly chewed. Nature tells us by hunger when we need food. Most of tlie abuse of the stoiuaeh is due to eating a certain amount just because the clock strikes a certain hour. instead of onl\ when hungry. Raymond IVarl, professor at Johns Hopkins university, believes that our population has passed its most rapid period ot growth. From now on. he predicts, the increase will be slower und the population 100 years hence will not be more than double what it is now. It is futile to ottempt to forecast economic problems that will got her our descendants in the year 2022, for life then will differ from the present even more start liugl,\ than 1922 differs from 1822. With twice as many people, there probably will be twiee as many problems. In the revision of American history which is so much needed there should be elimination of the legend that Christopher Columbus was the discoverer of this country. The intelligent public 1 now knows that Columbus got ' his information as to land to the 1 west of Europe from Leif Eric- ' son's records, and furthermore ! that he never set foot on Ameri- ? can soil. A recent writer in the < New York Times, discussing the < subject, says: 44The hour has < struck for truth to assume its J rightful place and govern our J history; for the spirit of the An- 1 * - ' WW - glo-Saxon race to sweep away the myths of bygone superstitions ami reveal the real America, discovered by 'one of the same race.' Leif Ericson. from whose stiong Nordic stock our early pioneers derived their rugged virues which enabled them to cope successfully with the tremendous odds with which they had to contend in a new land." What Did He Mean? I'suallv when an editor makes remarks about a public otlicial it is eusv t n ti'll u lii-t In-1* t s? favorable or unfavorable. Hut (In- folowing paragraph in a South Carolina paper leaves the reader somewhat in doubt : "Some malieious person started a report on the streets that there was something the matter with Mayor Snipe's head. We are glad to announee that it is as sound as it ever was. and that .here is nothing in it." Dog Back at Old Home. W. 11. (Jainbrell, for years a resident of (Ireenville, writes as follows to the Boston l'ost from his present home in Cambridge. Mass.: "About two months ago when 1 entile from my home in (iroenville, S. t'.. to Cambridge. I nrought with me a very htghh prized St. Bernard dog named Vixen, as 1 was very fond of him. i e.xereised great rare that lie should not get loose until he had heroine familiar with his new surroundings; but one bright morning some ten days after aiming here with him. I decided to let him have a sun bath by 1\ in*; liiin in trout ot' tin- house while 1 went to the posioliiee tor the mail. When I returned to the house d() minutes later, to my rival surprise I found that Vixen i had gnawed the leash in two and departed. I advertised for him. in the papers, offering a liberal j reward for his reeovery. but all ' to no avail. I never heard any- j diing from liiui. Yesterday I re eeived a letlor from home staling that Vixen had just arrived there in apparently good health. How a dog eouhl find his way from lure to (Jrcenville.
