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

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

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

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."

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.

heroine familiar with his new
surroundings; but one bright
morning some ten days after aiming

to let him have a sun bath by 1\

while 1 went to the posioliiee tor

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.

reward for his reeovery. but all '
to no avail. I never heard any- j

that Vixen had just arrived there
in apparently good health. How

The distance between Cambridge,
Mass.. and (Sreeiiville is
more than a thousand miles.
