A BEGGAR'S PHILOSOPHY A New York policeman the other day arrested a de- crepit, seedy-looking beggar who sat on a stoop asking passers-by for money. Searching the man’s pockets, the policeman found he had $170; indignant, he called him a “Bowery bum.” When the beggar was arraigned in court he pro- ttested the epithet. “I’m not a bum,” he said heatedly. “I've got $20,000! fn the bank, and that’s more money than this policeman | ever saw in his lif He insulted me—and I demand an apology.” The court, it appears, lifted its eyebrows at this and sentenced the beggar to six months in jail. Further- | more, he did not get his apology. In this age, when the possession of money serves to gloss over, in the public mind, whatever defects a ‘man’s character niay have, we probably ought not to be too hard on this man. PS aU.

Yet this ragged eggar’s scale of values was so topsy-turvy, apparently, that he was not only able to dispense with his self-re- spect; he was able to invent a new one, whereby the ‘words “Bowery bum” from a policeman became a bitter fesult.

IF IT IS BOOKS YOU WANT (McLean County Independent) We are pleased to call the atwention of our readers! to the service of the State Library Commission, of} which Miss Lillian E. Cook is in charge at Bismarck.! The state library has thousands of books up shelves, and usually most new books of the “ class” are added to its shelves shortly after t out. These books are loaned to patrons in any part of the state merely for the cost of postage, and may be kept for a period of a month. The editor has just received three books of the “best seller” class, which, if we were compelled to buy, would have cost approximately ten dollars.. Through the service of the state library we are permitted to read these three books at a cost of twenty cents. One of the problems of small town and rural life is the absence of cultural contacts, with too few people interested in literature to make possible local libraries | of sufficient proportions to provide more than readin; matter of the adolescent riff-raff quality.

My mistake has been to judge cats in the light of the New York cats. The fact is, I have always liked Without seeming to boast of my skill as an animal trainer, I once taught a cat to shake hands with visitors—a feat I have never seen duplicated.

Many of us develop lazy habits of breathing so that our body requires in extra supply of fresh air. Per- ps the air which we are inhaling is not as pure as it should be, or we are tired and do not fill our sys- tem with a fresh supply of oxygen. The brain then issu command for us to stretch and yawn so that by in- haling we will absorb more oxygen, ind by stretching we will stimulate our sluggish circulation. All of us have had the experience of yawning because we see some- body else doing 80. We do this be- cause while we should have more oxygen, we do without it because of laziness. e eyes, upon seeing someone else taking in a fresh sup- ply of air, report this to the brain, which, having +s attention called to the incident, sends a command to the lungs to absorb more oxygen. This is on the same principal that when ‘we see someone eating delicious food Or, if he loves » maybe it’s as well that he stay at home. I truly think that no living thing leads so miserable a life as the New York street cat. It subsists from garbage can to garbage can. Its skin sticks to its ribs. It slinks about, haunted by the grim specter of starvation. I have seen cats with eyes that would break your heart, wether or not you like cats. It may be that they do not litter the streets. Certainly they seem to. They have stirred pity in my heart ever since I came to this tity. Yet — after all — I have a back yard... and in the back yard there is a fence.... GILBERT SWAN.
