Why it Made a Difference.
A Philadelphian who had busi­
ness in Washington the other day
called to see Dr Wiley, the gov­
ernment’s food expert.
In the
course of their talk they discussed
the persistence of some food
manufacturers to violate the pure
food laws. ,
“One trouble is that so many
persons lack a sense of moral obli­
gation,” said Dr Wiley.
“They
seem to think that if they are not
found out they have not done
anything wrong. They remind
me of a little boy I once encoun­
tered gathering mushrooms in a
meadow.
“ I looked into his bag, and, to
my amazement I saw he had
mostly toadstools.
“ See here,’ said I, ‘those are
poison; you mustn’t eat them.”
“ Oh, that’s all right,’ replied
the youngster; ‘they ain’t fer eati’n.
They’s fer sale.”

Haaltk Proverbs.
In a few one-sentence sermons,
as true as gospel, tf^e state health
department gave to the citizens of
an eastern state more direct infor­
mation on the preservation of
health and happiness than ever
before since the department was
established, and the Commission­
er and his able assistants are to be
congratulated on their work. Here
are some of the proverbs which
should be pasted in the hat:
The man who says he would
rather have smallpox than be vac­
cinated, never had the smallpox.
An open window is better than
an open grave.
W arm rooms have killed more
people than ever froze to death.
If you let the child have the
measles when be is young you
may save a doctor’s bill later on,
but you may have to pay the
undertaker now.
A good iron pump costs less
than a case of typhoid.
If your milk man brings you
warm milk, mate it hot for him.
W ire screens in the windows
may keep crepe from the door.
A fly in the milk often means
a member of the family in the
grave.
If some people were as much a-
fraid of flies as they are of bad
water, there would be less typhoid.
When you see a child looking
like an angel, do not kiss it; you
might make a real angel of it.
Scarlatina may not sound so
dangerous as scarlet fever, but
ask the undertaker.

My Sympathetic

Br SUSAN YOUNG PALMER
Copyright. 1910. by Am oricaa
Association.
My father and mother both died
when I was ao young that I have no
remembrance of them, and I was ec
to an orphan asylum. When I was
eighteen the matron one morning call­
ed me Into her room and said to me:
“ You have been very useful to ua
here alnce you paaaed out of child
hood, but 1 am expected by the
managera to get on without help.
You are now old enough to be self
supporting and must either work for
yourself alone or In a home. I oc­
casionally receive a letter from some
man desiring one of our grown girls
for a wife. 1 had one of these let­
ters thia morning from a young man
In the west, who says that he has
a good farm on which be lives alone,
and he wishes me to send him some
one for a helpmeet whom I can rec­
ommend. and he has forwarded let­
ters recommending him. Let me know
I f you wish the position.”
The matron was used to condensing
everything she said just as she had
spoken these words. She was a good
woman, but was ao Intimately connect­
ed with the world’s troubles that she
could not give much attention to those
of any one person. She turned to oth­
er duties, and I left her to go to my
room to think.
The result of my tearful delibera­
tions was that I was a few days later
handed a ticket and what money I
would need on the Journey and took
a train for the west. M y leaping was
telegraphed to my future husband,
who was to meet me at the station,
marry me and drive me twenty miles
to his farm. I had no money with
which to return or go anywhere else
In case he should prove disagreeable.
Indeed, I felt as though I had been
pitched over a precipice..
The train had left Chicago and we
were bowling along toward the Missis­
sippi. I noticed a young man sitting
near me who was looking a t me, I
thought, sympathetically. I must have
shown my despondency In my face,
for his own reflected It or, rather, be­
spoke commiseration.
Presently he
came over to me and said, with an en­
couraging smile:
“ You look troubled. Is there any­
thing I can do or say to make you feel
happier.”
There was that in his honest face
and eyes that invited confidence. I
told him my story. He listened to it
attentively and respectfully an<J when
I had finished said:
“Has It occurred to you that the
man who Is to marry you Is In the
same position with regard to you that
you are with regard to him?”
“I never thought of th a t"
“ And do you know that many ao
called love matches turn out very un­
happily Y’
“I supposed,“ I replied, “th at It was
the forced marriages such as the one
1 am about to make that are fallurea.”
“There la no truer saying than that
marriage Is a lottery. I think you
have a better chance In yours than
those people who, blinded by love, see
no fault until a number of them are
plainly visible after marriage. Un­
biassed persons have recommended
this man to you and you to him. You
both trust to them Instead of your
own judgment biassed by love. The
chances are largely In your fkvor.”
“W hat you say,” I replied, “sounds
encouraging, but It seems to me
that I would rather begin with love
even If I must end with disappoint­
m en t”
“Spoken like a woman.” he rejoined.
“And I would rather begin without
love and end with love.”
W hat a treasure are these people
who have the faculty of lifting the
cloud that hangs over us and showing
us the sun shining behind. This yonng
man seemed to have only an ordinary
education, but any »deficiency was
made up by cbm mon sense. Then, too.
It was easy to see that he had a kind
heart. He wns constantly looking at
me out of those sympathetic eyes of
his, which said, “Poor child, how I
pity youf’ He was with me moat of
the morning and all the afternoon.
H e soon ceased to talk about my trou­
ble, leading me Into other paths,
though he told me many instances of
persons who had made marriage .a
matter of business and found it a
matter of affection.
My lover—I was certainly thinking
the word, mockery that it was—had
written that my train would land me
In the night at the last principal town
on my route, and I was to remain
there, taking another train the next
morning.
When I parted with my
newly made friend I relapsed into the
asms miserable condition as before.
But I was tired, and that night, though
I went to sleep In tears, I got a fairly
good rest. Thia and a bright morning
kept me up the next day till I ap-
. proached the last station, where I was
to meet “my lover,” when it was all
I could do to resist a temptation to
throw myself from the train. I per­
mitted every one to go out before me
and wished there were more of them.
Then when alone I nerved myself for
the ordeal and left the car.
M y lover was there waiting for me.
