I U R IO SITY Is an effort to secure I information which belongs to somebody else. There is a great deal o f informa tion lying nround loose which would not look well If printed on the front page, and if it were not for curiosity it could kick around on the four cor ners for weeks at a time without be ing picked up and woven into a law suit. There is considerable Complaint about the activities of curiosity, but It probably keeps more people from helping build good roads for the state than the prickings o f conscience. Curiosity Is caused by the nose be coming elongated and prying Into other people’s business. Many a man ■DOB} >BuS HU1SAUO STltt wtAR CStLULOlD C vj rfi - s o w MUCH rtoNty Does sc E akn m a iea «.

I would rather own their kisses As at night to me they run Than to be the king who misses All the simpler forms of fun. When the dreary day is ending He is dismally alone, But when my sun is descending There are Joys fo r me to own. He may ride to horns and drumming, I must walk a quiet street, But when once they see me coming Th erein joyous flying feet They come racing to me madly And I catch them with a swing And I say it proudly, gladly, That I ’m happier than a king. You may talk o f lofty places, You may boast of pomp and power. Men may turn their eager faces To the glory o f an hour, But give me the humble station With Its Joys that long survive.

There have been Instances where this roving tendency has been resented by Its victim, who pushes the nose back to Its proper location with an irate fist. Curiosity should be guarded against especially In the case of hus bands who were formerly in the prize ring. It Is a dangerous matter to pry into the personal transactions o f n citizen who carries a left-upper cut and enough ready money to pay his fine. Scores o f happy homes have been broken up by the gossip whose curiosity has run over the dam and convinced a credulous wife that she had married a gay Lothario Instead of a master bricklayer. Curiosity which Is not fenced In can be cured by reading the parable about the mote and the beam and training the nose to keep on the side walk. There would be less bale ful curiosity at work In this country If people would look Inside a little oftener and not worry so much about how their neighbors can nfford pork tenderloins twice a week. If nobody would go off his own premises when he feels like doing n little pro miscuous prying, there would be better feeling and few er blackballs cast In the lodge.
