this secret of longevity. The person
without a sense of humor is really t ?
he- pitied. And yet. you encounter
i Item in every town or community.
"White Ys white" and "black is
black,'' and lu. the contrary there is
absolutely nothing. Such a character
is well depicted by Charles Dickens
in IJombey, the father of "Little
Paul," Anrl'aftx'i leading the ex
periences ami vicissitudes of this
.stolid, phlegmatic Kritisher one vol
unteers tin- conclusion that he "was
more sinned against than sinning."
There is another angle to living
that Mr. Del'ew brings out. and it is
that he "switched" from the beaten
path. There is wisdom in that. In
the railroad work he was thrown with
brink, active, virile men ami .this
quickened him mentally and physi
cally. He switched olT into the field
nf politics and retired before the can
kering disease of eternally holding
or seeking orfire grasped him.
? ? A-rmm- with a de*p, varied expe
rience of life was asked recently how
he managed at an advanced age to
really be so young ? not only appear
to be but really be young and en
thusiastic, His reply was that he
made it a point to throw himself
daily with youn^ men, a group of
whom are m the same olTice in hi-;
line of Work In that way, he say,
he gets the viewpoint of the times
and adjusts himself accordingly. lb*

So powerful i- the instinct to live
that self-extinction is cerUtif) evidence
of a disordered mind or a morbidly
abnormal condition of some kind. One
would ordinarily assume that suicide
must be a rare occurrence, yet no
less than 1~V?IN persons [deliberately
cancelled their' own lives in this coun
try during ll?2u. The suicide record
reveals atrangc things. For eontemp
tibly |K'tty reasons on the face of it
some people destroy themselves.
The annual report of the Save-a ?
Life League makes it known, for in
stance, that "Reasons assigned for
suicide ranged from illness, poverty
or fear of detection in crime to such
causes as anger over not being .per
mitted to bob one's hair, or irritation
over a balky automobile. One young
man left a note saying he wanted a
new experience. A spinster left a
note reading 'Damn the men.' "
One can understand in- a way the
choosing of death's peace to a fur
ther life of physical or mental tor
ture, of desperate poverty or crushing
shame, hut suicide in mere petulant
irritation, over some passing difficulty
is surely a strange phenomenon.
There is a queer working of the
suicidal mind in its choice of method,
too. Not a few seek death in a man
ner that means horrible mangling of
their own bodies. Many resrgrt to a
method so ineffective that they
merely inflict terrible injury upon
themselves without effecting their
purpose. We are told that for each
successful suicide there are five or six
unsuccessful attempts. According to
this, well over 70.000 persons must :
have been in such case a>* to seek !
death during
One amazing and puzzling aspect I
of the suicide- record U that during j
the past live years about 1,000 chil
dren between 5 and 1 K years of age
have committed suicide. "Most of
ilwM'." we are told, "ended their lives
because of unhappy home or school
experiences or because of youthful
marriages." When a little child casts
life away, h<>-,v bitter and overwhelm
ing must be the load of pain or dis
tress ' I
