CREED OF A FOOL
I am a ool. I believe that fire is a
regrettabh accident which occurs in the

stopped to .hink, I would realize that my
house is ct n as other houses are, but it
is unneces ry for me to think about such
matters. r. he other man should think
deeply.
I believe that fires are caused by care
lessness, the carelessness of the other
man. I b iieve that I am a privileged
character. I throw matches about, cast
away half-1 ghted cigarette stubs without
looking to ee where they fall. I believe
that I can do things without impunity.
So far I have not been arrested for arson.
I helieve that the other man is negli
gent. He is culpable and deserves to suf
fer losses caused by his own stupidity. A
special providence looks after my home
and place of business.
I believe all this, without any guaranty
of immunity from the attack of fire. I
have no surety that fate has not nominat
ed me fo< membership in “the club of
other men.” But, as I have said, I am a
fool.

“When I hear a man tell of wonderful
adventures I do not believe him, my own
life has been so commonplace,” saye E.
W. Howe.
Here is a man in his seventies condem
ning life for being humdrum and monot
onous. The editor of “potato hill” is but
one of many. In every walk of life there •
are men and women finding life too com
monplace to be interesting. They are not
entirely tired of life but are extremely
bored. They work, eat, sleep and attend'
a social function or a lodge meeting now1
and then and hope for the great adven
ture which never comes.
What Howe and others like him are
pitying themselves for lacking others are
extracting out of the commonplace things
of life. The inventor, the scholar, the bus
inessman and other workers make their
work an adventure by putting romance
and imagination in it. Making a success
out of life is excitement and adventure
every step of the way.
The ordinary happenings of the day as
sume the proportions of an Arabian
Nights adventure in the eyes of the ro
mantic and imaginative.
