H enry T horeau of New E ngland
w as considered a q u eer mani.
W hy? B ecause he believed th a t
happiness cam e from sim plifying
one s life instead of m ak in g it

T h is w as in th e
day w hen th is co u n try w as ju s t
w aking up to th e riches th a t
m ight be obtained in th is expand
ing land. T horeau m ean t w h a t he
said, so he got a n ax an d built
him self a cabin in th e woods.
Com pleted, it w as ab o u t th e size
of th e a v erag e living room. He
did all th e w ork him self: p u t in
th e windows, built th e fireplace,
placed th e shingles.
H e k ep t a
jo u rn al o f h is expenses which
am o u n ted to less th a n th irty dol
lars. T h en he te s te d his theory-
Lived alone, did all h is own w ork
—b o th housew ork and labor. B ut
it gave him tim e fo r little th in g s;
he m ade frien d s w ith the birds
and th e anim als. He had a n e x tr a
o rd in ary pow er o v er them .
He
could ta m e a fish by feeding it,
th e n he w ould scoop his h an d and
b ring it out o f the w ater.
He loved long w alks, w ith a
notebook in one pocket and a one-
lunged sp y g la ss in an o th er. Som e
tim es he steadied th e sp y g lass
a g a in s t a tre e and gazed fo r h alf
an hour spell-bound a t som e d is
play of n atu re. W hen h u n g ry he
fingered am ong th e h e rb s and
p la n ts fo r so m eth in g edible. He
would lie fo r long periods o f tim e
on his tu m m y an d gaze fa s c in a t
ed a t a b a ttle of ants.
He built a log cabin in th e wild-
wood. C ost: $28. He found his
food in h is g arden, fo re st and
fields, spending fo r food only 25
cen ts a week!
He w as "com pletely unballanc-
ed," or, ra th e r, th a t is w h a t th e
neighbors said as th ey trie d to
arg u e him o u t o f h is qu eern ess
an d to ld him how he should live.
T hey bored him so w ith th e ir ad
vice th a t w hen he saw th em com
in g he would hide.
One d ay h e w en t to th e village

to have his shoes repaired. The
m arsh al cam e up, and to T hor
ea u ’s astonishm ent, told him he
w as under arre st.
"W hy do you a rre s t m e? I do
co h a rm to any one!”
" F o r not paying y o u r poll-tax.
We have a law on th a t."
T h o reau w as a rre ste d and clap

wild c re a tu re s of th e w ooda O ut
raged by th is act, he pondered the
question of how m uch au th o rity
a governm ent, o r a nation, should
have over its people, and finally
w ro te an inspired essay on "Civil
Disobedience." T im e passed — —
th a t essay fell in to th e han d s of
a young layw er in D urban. South

G andhi w-ho has been struggling
fo r his c o u n try m any years.
T h o reau found happiness in his
little 10 by 15 room, and so have

w rote d u ring th is tim e. He claim
ed th a t th e very se c re t of happi

T h in k th is over fo r yourself.
