THE QUESTION OF LIFE. Ham's Pragma aad the Books at the Elshteeatb Ceatary. la what mankind called "progress" ,the world was led by Illusion, advanc ed by lies.. Everybody hated work. wnlcnVas the only health. Even the preacher spoke dolefully of "the curse of Adam." Everybody wanted to be rich, which meant unhapplucss; every body wanted to be Idle, which meant death. Change was regarded as prog ress, and to And one different from oneself was to find one worse than oneself. And with all these I sympa thized, knowing them to be wrong. I had listened to moralists and be fore all was done discerned that question of morals was a question of latitudes, and vice related to the equa tor. Cruelty was a creature of the thermometer; the tropics tortured what the arctics nursed. Happiness was born of contrast when It wasn't born of temperament and Third ave nue laughed oftener than Fifth. One man committed suicide, another gave a feast Each was worth $20,000. The suicide bad been a millionaire, the feast giver a pauper. I considered merchants and gamblers. There was bat one difference when the mer chant's resources ended his credit end ed; when the gambler's resources end ed bis credit began. When the gam bler was down his fellow gamblers helped him; when the merchant was down his fellow merchants fell upon him and tore him like wolves. Progress T A wise man proved It by pointing to a railroad and asking me to remember stagecoaches. I asked why It was better to travel 000 miles In a day than to travel ninety. He aid one could reach Chicago In a day and night I replied that one couldn't reach Calcutta In a day and night He said that medicine and surgery bad advanced; that we now saved lives we used to lose. I asked why It was Im portant to save Uvea that must one day die; also I pointed out that we saved weaklings to wed weaklings and pro duce weaklings, which was progressing backward. He grew angry and asked If I favored' death. I grew angry and asked If be favored birth; also I want ed to bear whether or no be believed In killing weeds. Progress! I know nothing of medi cine and railways and stagecoaches and saving lives, bat I do know about books. And I see by my bookcases that the nineteenth century did not write so well nor In things beautiful think so well as did the eighteenth, with the promise all about me that the present century will write worse and think more heavily than either. We have better guns, clocks, plows, sewing machines, hut they wrote better Eng lish and thought nobler thoughts. Al fred Henry Lewis In Cosmopolitan. CASTOR I A lor Infants and Children.
