LIFE AT IIS BEST
Advantages of Dwellinn in Coun?

city Man Knows Nothing of the Swcei
Contentment That It the Lot of
the Resident of Rural
Places.
Observing the Inconveniences and
sometimes disco info it*; of city life,
some of the brethren of tin* country
(trots aro taking u Hhnt at the city
dweller iiml emphasizing the fortiu
mite position of the citizen who con
trives to spend his lift* In sum? ffulet
town of the country, saya a writer In
the Seattle INjsMntelllgenCor. The
country gentleman never cares wheth
er the street ears run or not; he Is
not concerned with the electric )l(ht
plant or the wat^r supply, having his
reliable kerosene In nips and n, good
well In working order for emergency
use. Ho Is uot afraid that 400,000 of
his townsmen will run out of coal at
once and freeze to death, because the
old grove on the east forty Is capable
of furnishing Ida fuel should his sup
ply of five cords of sawed and split
wood t^iat he has In his woodshed be
come depleted, lie lives away from
the mass, and his small wants are
not puahed and crowded by the small
wants of hundreds of thousands of
other people, lie feels that If there
is anything that he really needs that
he does uot possess, l\p can go out
and procure It any morning without
much trouble, and he Is generally quite
1 right about It.
Charles M. Korton, of Hadloy, N.
cites the cases of the city and the
country citizens tu a recent Issue of
Collier's Weekly, Writes Mr. Horton:
The man who started the' back-to
the-farm movement had something!
The man who shouted "Hack to na
ture," said something; The advice was
directed at city dweller*, of course,
because folks who wero living out of
the cities already .did not need It.
He'takes up the case of the $2a a
week married injtn, who hardly exists
in the city, and shows what he Is ye
complibhing In the'country town:. .
A clerk in tire stow here gets $23
a week, owns his own home ami a.
boat on the lake and a jitney, goes
hunting in the .north woods In the falL
fishes evenings and days olT without
number, picks berries; kills his own
beef in the fall, raises his own pigs,
has a piano and a library and a silver
service and linen, modern pictures on
the walls, good rugs on the doors, mis
sion furniture around the rooms, twin
beds, a dog. two cats, a bear rug, low
ceilings, plain wall paper, electric fix
tures?everything, in fehort, that 11 it?
city dweller has, or wants, but can't
have?and he is-a ??b?rk in a grocery
store at $2u a week. And lie had these
tilings when lie was getting ."SIS?six
months ago, before lie got a raise?
had more,?in fart, been u^e" lie owned
a trotting horse that could go some:
this animal lias since died.
The writer himself wiifi beguiled
from the country to the city under the
ennnon belief that the city is the only
place for the man of ambition who
would go fur. lie had brains. In a
measure j^t'ie had money, in a measure,
ami then he tossed the whole thing up
In the air and made back for the coun
try, where he now exists in content
ment. And wheg one sees pity folk
bedeviled and harassed and bcplnched
by ever? human want, 'living from
, hnnd to mouth.' and ' worrying lest
some necessity of existence be cut off
by some whim of mnn or vagary of
fate, one Is inclined to give the argu
ment of the country citizen large value
and credence. ~'jr'
Carnegie Doubly Interested.
One more statue was unveiled, re
cently, of the Immortal Robbie Burns,
this time In Boston. Andrew Carnegie
spent' much of his holiday time In
Scotland, nnd divided It between ded
icating free libraries, opening "church
organs, ujul unveiling Burns statues.
Meeting Mr. Carnegie at a St. Andrews
dinner In New York, a braw Scot but
recently come over snld. "Mr. Car
negle, I would like to shake you by
the hand; you unveiled a statue of
Robbie Burns last summer In my home
town." "Aye," said Mr. Carnegie,
after a pause, "that would be Mont
rose, the only place I ever had any
thing to do with a Burns statue that I
dldna pay for. On that account I'm
doubly pleased to meet you."?Chris

published a llttJe book of his own on
the Creek of the New Testamect. a
book weighing more than eight pounds
and containing J.540 rlosely printed
pages. In the preface.I'rof.-Robertson
apologizes for Ills small linguistic at

he knows Hebrew and Aramaic and
can use Coptic and Sanscrit. He
knows Latin, Greek, French. German
and Anglo-Saxon, but beyond those
languages 5n!y Assyrian, Dutch, Oothlc

ARE RETURNING TO FARMS
Not Many of Uncle Sam's Fighter*
Have Succumbed to the Lure
of the City.
Of America's mighty war forces of
more than-- 4.800.000 men. 1.200.000, It
Is estimated, came front farms. Hoc
ords in the bureau of war-risk insur
ance In Washington indicate that these
farm-bred or farm-raised boys carried
government life Insurance amounting
to over $10,000,000,000.
During the earlier demobilization It
was so difficult to keep track of the
discharged service men that It seemed
as though a very largo proportion of
them did not return to their former
addresses or homos. .So many of the
service men who had come from tho
farms seemed to be llSle'nlrK to the
oall ??.tho olty that il was feared more
than one-half of them wore not going
.back' to the farms. Later-tl^o tide of
migration sot in toward the country,
and now ll is bellevbd that the loss in
man power to .the farms, as the result
of former service men settling else
where, may not be more than fi(K>,000?

Keeps Windows Free From Frost.
In these days, when Jack Frost Is
busy drawing pictures on the windows,
many beautiful works appear over
night, but when he completely covers
the glass, he Is not so welcome. The
Russians have a very effective way of
preventing the obscuring of the win
dows by frost. In Russia the walls of
the buildings are very thick, and
double windows are fVtted ? to the
houses, set about.13 Inches apart. The
