This Week /» 1 \ ' /? ^7 g = By Arthur Brisbane Ma and Pa Take A Rest and Go Traveling En route: Middle-aged women on this train have beautifully quiet, peaceful faces. Consider the couple sitting across the aisle in the dining car. They come from a farm, their hands and complexion show it. The light and fire are dim in his pale gray eyes. Many weary miles his feet have walked behind the plow and the harrow; many miles he has driven over bad roads in a slow, rocking buggy to and from the town. His shoulders are bent by heavy weights, and worry has left deep wrinkle. But that is over, the life ornerd work has brought its reward. The children are settled. She sits next to the window, looking out at the kind of country she has known for fifty years. Big brown fields, stretching away to the horizon. Stacks of straw that would be worth SBO a ton in the city, but it doesn’t pay to ship them, houses in the hollow where the cold settles, trees planted to break the force of the wind from the north. Her face is peaceful, happy as she rests with her hands in her lap. For the first time in her life there is nothing that she ought to be doing. Earnest, patient, calm and beautiful is her face, as she looks out at the changing scene. And still mord beautiful her expression, as the takes the things that the waiter brings and arranges her husband's breakfast. She will not. while she lives, lose the habit of

taking care of him. Here is not the face that launched a thousand ships or burned any towers, anyway. It’s better than that. It’s the face that weaned a thousand calves, cooked thirty thousand meals for family and farm hands, sewed and mended and washed for a family’ of children, caring for them in sickness and health, helping with the chores and economized on herself. “The little girl with the curls and the plaid dress, she is our youngest grandaughter. Our daughter will be lonely without her. But they are letting us take her for a little while so sfae can see the country while she is young. We had to wait a long while.” Every dollar they take with them, to provide for a well-earned old age of peace, and rest, is a dollar raised by hard work. Crops raised by their hands have fed thousands. For every dollar thgy have had, the public has had ten dollars in value. Happy is this nation in possessing such States as California and Florida, in which those that have wcrked hard may spend their latter years, prolonging their lives and enjoying the results of hard and useful work. Those now living will see in California and in Florida cities greater than any now on earth. They will not be cities of crowded, windy streets, but cities that will cover millions of square miles, spreading over hills and valleys, with beautiful roads and great landing fields for flying machines, that will bring swiftly through the air passengers that the trains now carry slowly. The East and Northeast will send their millions to Florida. The Middle West and Northwest will send them to California. Cali* fornia and Florida will send back to the North energetic young people to work in the colder climate. The development of this nation has only begun. California or Florida could easily feed, under intensive cultivation, the entire population of the United States, and Texas could feed the population of the world. With the flying machine fully developed, all the people of the earth could find beautiful dwelling places on hills and mountains now uninhabited. Nothing to worry about, overcrowding least of all, if the people combine imagination and common sense.

World’s Oldest Poem Homer, the Greek poet, is credited with being a composer of the oldest and most famous poem in existence. “The Iliad.” Homer lived about 1000 B. C. and in his immortal epic describes, in 24 books, certain important events that occurred in the tenth and last year of the siege of Troy. Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief of the allied Greeks, having quarreled with Achilles, the latter retires in anger from the contest and sulks in his tent. As a result of this defection the Trojans are victorious and Achilles, accordingly sends his friend, Patroclus, to tum the tide of battle. Patroclus. however. Is slain by Hector, whereupon Achilles, rushing forth in rage to avenge the death of Iris friend, kills Hector and drags his body—fastened to his chariot—towards the Grecian ships. The poem of the Iliad closes with the restoration of the body of Hector to Priam, and the funeral ceremonies in ironor of the Tro Jan hero. “Fishing” for Coal A quaint occupation is that of the "drudger.” who, with the aid of long staves called “hitchers," salves coal dropperl overboard during the process of coaling ship. The “drudging” fleet, a collection of queer little broad-beamed boats, is to be seen at work at all waterside places where ships take in coal or discharge it, says London Tit Bits. A certain amount of coal falls overboard. into tlie river or harbor mud. from which it is retrieveri by the “drudgers,” who wash It, take it ashore and sell it to householders at a low price. Coal “drudging’’ is a skilled occupation. and one that is handed down from father to son. Brain Works in Hot Bath When you have some particularly knotty problem to solve, try a steaming hot bath. Nothing is so conducive to clear thinki ig as a hot tub. asserts Dr. L. Hubbard of Washington. D. 0., in Hygeia, health magazine published by the American Medical association. Have the water as h^t as can be borne, ami then a litt’e hotter, advises Doctor Hubbarri. and be sure to have a paper and pencil within reach so that you will not lose the brilliant ideas that are sure to come. Such a bath is weakening ami would be exhausting to some people, but used in an emergency, it will be found well worth while. Not Acquainted In an influential parish church it had been found necessary to provide the minister with an assistant. Some difficulty was evidently experienced. Ultimately it appeared that a suitable candidate had been found. Following the Sunday on which he preached, a woman member of the congregation met a church officer, whom she proceeded to congratulate on their having secured such a likely young man as a prospective assistant. “Oh. well,” he said, “it’s Just a case of Hobson’s choice.” “Indeed,” was the reply, “but who is Hobson?” Purdy’s Philos. “The feller who is afraid of being wrong once in a while will stay right —where he is.
