water. He found it agreeable to himself Fie tried It ou customers cf the soda fountain over which he was presiding and they liked it From a chance experiment untold millions have delighted in ice cream oda. It was a small thing, but It struck the ptibllc taste just where it was vulnerable. Millions have been made as the result of that simple experiment. So important did the discovery seem to this man that he directed In hi will that his tombstone should bear the Inscription "Originator of ice cream soda." Neither peanuts nor ice cream soda are necessities of life. It is true the former has entered somewhat Into staple food products, but the bulk cf the crop goes into small bags to be eaten at odd moments, while the latter is a luxury that offers refreshment on a warm day. Both are small things measured in the abstract, but "many a mickle makes a muckle" and many sacks of peanuts and many glasses of ice cream soda In the aggregate total huge sums. "Fcr who hath despised the day of small things' may have lost a fortune thereby.
DREAMING, DREAMING From Cox headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, comes the following: "Tom Taggart made the public prediction at South, Bend that Indiana's electoral vote would be found this fall In the Democratic chairman." The day before the election of 1904, Mr. Taggart, then Democratic national chairman, Issued a prediction that Parker would carry Indiana by a huge plurality. Roosevelt's plurality was nearly 100,000 in a state that had never before been carried by any political party by more than 0,000. If this is a fair sample of the "dope'' on which, the Cox management Is working itself Into a hope of victory. It Is evident there is going to be a rude awakening of the dreama thus produced, on election Car. DESPISE NOT SMALL THINGS. "Fcr'Who baa despised the day of small things?" was a Query put long ago. Small things may have been little considered once, but small things are now recognized A3 Involving the possibility of becoming big things. The peanut has been considered as emblematic of amalUthings. It Is often used thus metaphorically, but some.recent figures show that in the aggregate the peanut crop is neither email in quantity nor of slight value la.the bulk. To one whose knowledge of peanuts Is confined to sight' of them on the street vendor's stand where a bag used to sell for a nickel, the business of growing them might seem to be of slight extent or importance. Of course, a nickel does not buy many of them now, neither oes It buy muchof anything else. But the growing of reanuU is not a "peanut" business In size, though it is so literally. Down South wher they raise them they raise them they are called -goobers," but a peanut is a peanut by whatever name it is known. The farm value of last year's crops was estimated as totaling over $79,000,000. What consumers paid for them when handed out In small bags would multiply the original cost several times. Nearly 2.000,000 acres are ordinarily devoted to thi3 crop, arshowlng of area as well as dollars. It is only for the last 50 years that the peanut ha3 been grown commercially. It is not to be despised as a small thing. Recently there died in Philadelphia the originator of Ice cream soda. It was about 60 years ago that this man tried dropping some Ice cream in a glass of soda
CHOOSING A MATE. The report published by the Ohio State University Alumni Association of the findings of the men and wo men students of sociology in the university as to what are the essentials of a happy marriage makes interest ing reading. Persons seeking mates may find it proltable to study the report because of the light which it throws on what the opposite sex .regards as desirable qualities in a husband or wife. There will be consolation in it for some because of the low value placed on qualities in which they are deficient.. Wealth and fame, for example, are classed as nonessentials. The women demand, however, for example, that their husbands shall be "good providers " and prefer that, they should be engaged in business rather than follow other occupations. The men almost unanimously emphasize the desirability of wives who are capable
of supporting themselves; they also want good housekeepers, who can care for and train children. The women assert that it is essential that the ideal husband should be a comrade; but the men do not consider it necessary that the wife should be one. On the other hand the men place more stress on the desirability of keenness in their mates than the women do. Both sexes declare affection, intelligence and desire for and love of children are indispensable. Physical attractiveness In both sexes is classed as most desirable, but neither places more than moderate value on facial beauty. To insure happy marriage husband and wife should be of the same race, sound family stock and good health, the report declares. Nearness of age is not essential, but of high value. Nearness of height and weight are matters of slight importance. Both parties should have the same degree of education. Almost total indifference is shown to such social accomplishments as dancing and card playing, and both sexes rank appreciation of music higher than appreciation of literature or art. Probably most persons will agree that the findings are marked by common sense. These are the views, however, of married persons. The opinions of persons who have experienced wedlock might be more valuable.
